I was out last night. I'm
50. My daughter is 20. My daughter and I were chatting. A man my age came up
To us who I know remotely . He put his arms around us and said how are ye doing tonight . My daughter froze and stared him dead in the face and said.. take Your hands off me Right now.
I was taken aback. He meant no harm but again my
Daughter didn't know him. My friends were shocked at her response . Was she being unreasonable, in your opinion ?

Yeah, it's fine for a man to take hold of a woman he doesn't know if he doesn't mean any harm. She should've put up and shut up, however much she hated it. Manners cost nothing! 🙄🙄🙄

Good on her!

Absolutely not unreasonable. Your friends are shocked as they've been socially conditioned to be all nicey nice and allow random men to touch them. You should be proud of your daughter and everyone should learn from her example.

men need to keep their hands to themselves

I don't think she was at all unreasonable. A man she doesn't know comes up and presumes to put his arm around her, she told him to remove it. Good on her!
