i keep thinking, who are all these guys whipping their dick out and exposing themselves randomly? my homegirl just told me that happened to her at a bar recently during some light conversation with a couple of people. im so thankful that's never happened to me. Besides some aggressive New York cat calling and one guy stepping infront of me so i couldn't pass without speaking to him, I've never been sexually harrassed outside of professional situations. You'd think itd be the other way around but not for me -- or so I thought. maybe its just that the professional situations stand out the most because they are so obviously wrong. When I think a little harder there's been plenty of situations ive forgiven or shrugged off because you just can't hold onto everything, it'd be way too much baggage to carry around. But God, it's like a minefield out there.
Once when I was preparing to get off the subway I moved close to the door and was looking out the window to get a view of signage as we approached the stain. As we came to a stop, I locked eyes with a man on the platform and quickly looked away cos awkward. The door opened and instead of tilting my head down like i do when i know where im going, my head was fully up to continue reading overhead signage. The guy I looked eyes with walked towards me as I exited the train and planted a kiss right on my mouth, he entered the train and the doors closed. It was a packed midtown rush, so there were people pushing behind me and he was coming at me, there was no avoiding the man and i wasnt prepared for him to kiss my face out of the blue. He stared at me as the train rolled away and i stood there sort of frozen in shock.
ugh... so gross.
- fuck, that's terrible.BusterBoy
- Shit. What the hell goes on in some men's tiny little minds?Ianbolton
- i never thought i was the freeze in place type. im athletic, i shoot guns, i do archery, im pretty tough. but i froze. i didn't scream, yell, or react.shellie
- women cant be owned, they're not blow up dolls or fuck toys, but they're often treated as such. we arent sisters, daughters, mothers or wives when this happensshellie
- that is fucked up. I had a niegbour that would get coked up and expose himself to my sisters room. He had built a system to monitor her without her knowning.mugwart
- I often wonder the mindsets, decisions and even life experiences to allow them to think that they are able to do this ...mugwart
- I'm gonna sound like kyles mom here... I blame romance Novels and romcom portraying these behavier as romantic...pango
- And some people replayed the scenario over and over again in there head and finally one day he had the courage to do it.pango
- And gave him self a pat on the back because he did it.pango
- Romance is nice and important to relationships. Romance has to be respected (not the case here!). It can be very hit and miss if works and not.mugwart

- And also seriously you can find anything on YouTube that supports your argument.pango
- Romance shouldn’t be hit and miss if you’re not being a cunt. Do the obvious thing if you like someone, just don’t be creepy about itIanbolton
- i definately didn't do anything, spoken or unspoken, to suggest that this was okay. I thought about the romance angle. i hate romcoms for this reason.shellie
- 98% of stuff that happens in romantic movies would seriously creep me out as this did. same with stalking or not taking no for an answer.shellie
- You should get a taser. Something high voltage would do.futurefood
- Especially during midtown rush, you can just tase away at anything and no one will notice.futurefood
- gah. my face when i read this. >:Osarahfailin
- "Romance shouldn’t be hit and miss if you’re not being a cunt" your right, I worded mine incorrectly. I meant it can be hard to get right & emotions run highmugwart
- to be fair I agree completely about modern romance. Older generations had R&J, Wathering heights, the most romantic thing last 25 years mainstream is friendsmugwart
- Because unsolicited kissing on the mouth is funny and what boys do. (Sarcasm) https://youtu.be/2XD…pango
- everyone should get ask 1st by default. i promise its not a turn off. every threshold you cross with a woman should be discussed. mutually created boundaries.shellie
- the chance that you're wrong if you don't could be a terribly illegal overstep that leaves the other feeling abused. its time to train our kids differently.shellie
- Respect and honesty, this across all life.mugwart
