Man deliberately walked into me

[ShinyShinyFace]

Has this happened to anyone?
I was walking along a busy road in central London talking to my friend, very wide pavement and at that moment no one else in the vicinity (so not a question of space).

Next thing I knew I had been elbowed/thumped really hard in the arm by this guy walking the other way-it really hurt!

I whipped around expecting him to be looking back apologetically but no, he was continuing in his way, elbows still out.

Big guy, beefy arms, I'm barely 5 feet. What the fuck did he do that for?!

@rosawaiting thanks! Not everyone thinks I'm a violent lunatic haha

It’s funny how a woman blaming PMT gives all women a bad name but fully grown, built men deliberately walking into woman doesn’t give all men a bad name. Why is that?

I had this when pregnant, my friend was walking a bit behind and saw it, he also saw the guy put his elbows in as they approached. He gave him more than a mouthful and had the prick scuttling away. He was targeting people.

Pumperthepumper, firstly the guy didn't walk into her, he acted like a dick saying "waaaaay" and trying to put her off balance, which was of course completely unacceptable.

The problem with women blaming periods and hormones instead of owning their own behaviour, is pretty well documented when it comes to employers, courts and women in general being seen as equal to men.

If a man was called out on deliberately walking into a woman, I doubt he'd blame his hormones for it instead of owning his behaviour.

Pumper - I think it has

Not just me using terms like “manslamming”.
