I rarely do this but I have a rant thats been held in for way too long. This is an open letter to any man aka. scumbag, pervert, ignorant jerk, etc. that thinks its ok to touch a woman inappropriately or say degrading things. Especially to a intoxicated woman who may not be able to protect herself. In just one year alone, I cant count how many times Ive been at a crowded bar or place and have been groped, touched, or harassed inappropriately while simply walking through a crowd. I know Im one of many ladies that have this unfair act happen to them constantly. Men will never ever understand how it feels to be practically molested while youre trying to do normal things like have a beer with friends. No woman should have to fear being touched by a stranger or verbally harassed. This is our body and we are no object that is open for all men to take advantage off. This rant is coming from me currently still fuming over NYE. I was waiting for my date to get in the bar and was alone only about 5 mins before a 50-60 year old man stuck his hand up my dress and grabbed my crotch and ass. I regret now letting him get away with this but I was too in shock and my judgment was off. I honestly just wanted to get away from him and couldnt think to act. To him and many guys, thats nothing. But it ruined my night and made me feel disgusting. I remained anxious for the rest of the night and still am just livid to think someone thinks thats ok to do to anyone. To feel a strangers hand up your dress and to turn around and hes grinning like its okay is absolutely disgusting. If you or any man you know does this, seriously know its not funny or appropriate in any way, its harmful to women more than you realize and is incredibly degrading. If you ever see a man harassing a woman in any way, stand up for her because theres many times we are in shock and really cant think to react to the situation. Im a tough person and in my mind I would never let someone get away with it, but when it actually happens for some reason you kind of just freeze up or fear making a scene. Im done preaching, but just know this is coming out because like I said this has happened to me more than 30 times in a year and Ive really had it with being an object. Ps. To the POS trash who did this, youre real one lucky fella that my date didnt find you and you were able to walk out of the bar.
