a stranger slapped my butt yesterday and my friends....

[selepele]

think i was over reacting and shouldnt have shouted that it is sexual assault (which it is)

this happened in china town last night around 3 am

guy just walked up to me slapped/grabbed both my cheeks then laughed while walking off

am i wrong to act in a bad way or is this behaviour acceptable these days?

Trumps thinks it's okay to grab women by the 'pussy'.

Other men think it's okay to grab women's arses and breasts as well.

And the OP's friends seem to think it's something women shouldn't make a fuss about.

Well isn't that just fine and dandy for the men.

I would have given him a real telling off. Entirely unacceptable. But at this point you should just forget about it instead of letting it get to you.

This.

I called a man out for properly grabbing my bum cheek at a really fancy party a few years ago. Shouted out quite loudly 'get your hands off my arse'.

It didn't go well, he swore and hurled abuse at me (I think partly being called whilst his gf was stood next to him!!! He had to blame me and get out of it somehow; I felt so insulted, put down, shocked and upset I literally threw my drink in his face, whereupon his gf decided to throw her drink all down me, ruined a very expensive, first time out, dress, as well as my whole long & excitedly anticipated night.

I left wondering if it had actually happened!!! and no, no alcohol imbibed at that point, as there's always somebody ready to blame her for drinking.

Really feel for you, its shit, but what makes it worse is those that seem to need to minimise it!!! Move on like it never happened attitude; exactly that attitude is responsible for facilitating it, and much worse

Sorry it happened to you. Shame nobody got him on camera. It might be on CCTV though in China town

When I went school many moons ago, someone was dared to slap my backside so I lamped him one when he did it you was right to call him out! It's bloody wrong and it is sexual assault! Fucking dickhead.

The more women who kick up a fuss about this then the more it will become socially acceptable for every woman to kick up a fuss and the less likely guys will be to chance it. Good on you.

There was a video circulating a while back of a man repeatedly slamming his crotch against a woman's backside on public transport. Unbeknownst to him, she was holding a cactus plant, which she casually manoeuvred behind her when she felt him pull back. His next hard thrust was far pricklier than he'd anticipated and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. It was fucking glorious.

You were absolutely right to call it out, OP. Women need to. It's beastly behaviour and it's never acceptable.

I'd have managed to hurt his balls in some way

this only happened to me one other time in Barcelona, it is bizarre that men think it is funny.

both friends are female

I don’t think anyone should be assaulted women or men and yes it should always be called out,

To be fair I wouldn’t of let it ruin my night though

Glad you openly reacted to them then, that's shit that they were more worried about their food and carried on without you...find some better friends who would all roar at him!

It didn't go well, he swore and hurled abuse at me
a person who feels at liberty to sexually assault a random stranger in a public place is likely going to be a person reacts strongly and defensively if his victim calls him out, he will see it as humiliation from a subordinate and he will likely feel compelled to punish you.

I'm not sure what the best response is, it should be called out, but I would fear retaliation

No it was a risk,but everything happened in full view of others, and because I named it loudly, everyone knew what was going on (not that anyone else did anything!)
If it had been me on a dark street on my own, no way. The situation gave me strength to do it.

Recently touched, well thigh rubbed, in a bar was a guy telling me he'd have to leave now,and get a lift from his friend. I froze, speechless. Had no idea what was going on. He really did expect I would go back and sleep with him. FW!
