Showing Original Post only (View all)A REAL Feminist. [View all]
I have been a feminist all of my life.
I was raised by a feminist man. Tonight a man grabbed my ass. I am over 50 yrs old. I turned around and calmly asked "Who grabbed my ass?"
The young man confessed and I quickly popped him in the stomach and went about my business.
After I returned I approached him and told him this...
I want you to make eye contact with me because we need to have a conversation. When you grabbed my ass you disrespected me, it was an unwelcome touching of my body and it was assault. If you ever touch me or any other woman like that again she, like me, has the right to call the police because you are guilty of assault. DO you understand me? Do want me to call the police?
Guess what he said.

Indeed. Plenty of women and children get a "pop" and will think twice about "doing it again".

Nope. Never said you were the aggressor. Only that, after that you ascertained who had attacked

I have seen and been the victim of violence and what I did ain't it.

Ass grabbed. Confrontation. Confession. Popping in the stomach. Popping is violence.

I am comparing using violence as a justification to teach someone a lesson.

He probably said nothing, and slinked away. Or crapped his drawers, first.
