Showing Original Post only (View all)Check in here if you are a woman who has been groped. [View all]
Check.
Not something we talk about...because its humiliating. I don't think most men have any idea how common this is. I recently attended a convention of executives that shared space with the HUGE 5 year national Plumbers Union convention. The plumbers and pipe fitters were gentlemen. The execs were gropers. I(late 50's) and my 45 year old female co-worker were both groped. Our 28 year old co-worker was groped AND stalked. Nothing of us were drunk etc. and this happened within an hour of the start of a vendor hosted reception.
Fun tip- shouting "get your fucking hands off me" solves the problem, stat.

Well, here we are. I feel damned lucky to get away before anything became too weird.

Check. I'm gonna take a wild guess that if you are female, you have been groped.

Not groped in the literal sense but I went to the store with a guy I barely knew to buy some

Yep. Might be more interesting for women who HAVEN'T been groped to self-identify. n/t

Not a pleasant truth, but this just shows how many of us have stories, even men
