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.

I can't believe people are still unironically using the term "sex-positive" redqueen Aug 2014 #13

The problem I have is it implies some are "sex-negative" BainsBane Aug 2014 #15

Exactly. It's as rhetorically dishonest as "pro life" and it's sad to see it still used here. redqueen Aug 2014 #16

Precisely. It's a classic false dichotomy. n/t nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #17
