Was she being unreasonable

[itsacabsauv]

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 ?

No, not unreasonable. Once upon a time, women were conditioned to think this behaviour was ok, but times have changed, evolved. Good on her for advocating for herself. It's akin to once upon a time making children kiss/hug random relatives/parents friends. We don't do that anymore.

No. Good on her! You’ve raised a strong, confident woman who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and her body. You should be proud of her.

Your daughter is brilliant. Make sure she knows it. Don’t let her ever doubt herself then way you are.

My daughter would do the same and I would be incredibly proud of her.

Younger generation refusing to put up with the same crap women have for millennia.
Wonderful to hear. I hope my 15 year old daughter will be like this.

How would you like a complete stranger old enough to be your dad touching you, cuddling you, without warning, introduction or consent?

It's just creepy and weird. Maybe he can put his arm round you but he doesn't know her and you don't touch women you don't know. It can be classed as assault.

He should apologise to her. He may well have not meant any harm but that's not the point.

What example are you setting her by saying non consensual touching from strangers especially men should be accepted and to 'grin and bear it'?

Would it be more acceptable to you if he was 20?
