One of the joys of becoming a little old lady is that random strange men stop sexually harassing you. Any man that thinks this doesn't happen regularly, especially to young women, is delusional. And they wonder why we prefer the bear.

This absolutely happens. I can't tell you how many times something like this has happened to me. Men not taking no for an answer and sexual harassment are an everyday part of a woman's life. It's always unwanted. It's always cringe but that doesn't stop men from doing it. The only escape women get is as we get older it lessens. I just turned 50, and I don't look my age, so I still have things like this happen to me, but not with the frequency they used to.

Men, BELIEVE a woman who says s**t like this has happened to her!!! Even if you have doubts, at least consider her innocent until proven guilty---I only said that last part for the a******s who think that because ONE woman in the last 2000 years may have lied, that all women's claims are suspect. I'm 63 now, and can tell you with authority that s**t like this happens to every woman, and has been happening to us since the beginning of time. Hell, the serpent talking to Eve, even though she didn't ask him to, is a prime example (unfortunately, innocent Eve was like a child who believes the creep in the van actually has a puppy). Airlines need to keep a large, lockable dog kennel bolted down in the cargo hold of the plane, as a place to put creeps like this in, after cuffing them, so they can't bother anyone the rest of the flight. To avoid any kind of issues, the dog kennel should have a camera on it so the a*****e can be monitored, and a member of crew should check on them periodically. This would be especially helpful on flights without Air Marshals on them. No one should be forced to sit next to creeps like this. BTW, even though I was a young woman decades ago, even back then I had no shame about making a really loud scene and loudly asking creeps like this guy why they were bothering me, sitting right next to me even though there were plenty of other seats available (like in a practically empty movie theatre---yes, it happened to me and was just one example of the s**t I put up with before I finally got too old to be noticed, thank goodness), asking me for my phone number, even talking dirty, and other pervy s**t. It brought the spotlight on them, embarrassed them publicly, and had other people making sure to periodically check on me to be sure I was OK. I always made sure to check to see if the creep was hanging around, and to stick with the crowd when leaving places after scenes like that, so the risk of retaliation was low. It may have been the seventies and eighties, but no f*****g way was I going to be nice and quiet and have my time ruined by some pervert. So I let HIS time be ruined with public humiliation and all eyes on him for the remainder of the event. Thankfully, they usually just skulked off and retired back under their rocks back in the day, because they hadn't been emboldened to believe they were entitled to behave that way, because there was no public internet, so no websites full of other losers to vent to, who would then to egg them on to retaliate.

There's a saying that a man's worst fear is being laughed at by a women he's trying to pick up, and a woman's worst fear is being killed by a man she's trying to let down gently. It's a sad reality.

Oh my stars I wish I'd of been there with her! My fat asss would be going to jail for snapping his eyelids like window shades for even looking at that little girl. I have 3 grandbabies that are little girls and I swear on Betty Whites grave I'll put someone in their grave for touching one of my babies. I'm old, I'm sick and I have no flucks left, life in prison doesn't mean much to me 🤬

Having had about an equal number of male and female friends throughout highschool and college, it never crossed my very skeptical mind that this could be made up. I've heard and personally witnessed similar far too many times. And some men will argue that it happens to then too, I've experienced that personally too, but the proportions and extent are completely different, even before you consider the physical power dynamics. I've never felt unsafe when I've been harassed, but I've had to literally move men away from women, who'd sometimes keep coming back to bother some woman or girl. I feel sorry for the incels idolizing the bald-headed sexpest criminal who's led so many astray (and the orange-headed one too), they are pitiable, but they aren't the only men causing problems. Treat them like terrorists: if you see something, say something. The cultural norms must change.

I started travelling alone from the age of 14 (forces brat). And yes it happened. Luckily the air hostesses were not about to take any c**p from a creep, bless them all. And no, my mother still doesn't know.

All the f*****g time so much so I've become a recluse. Wanna know why women go to the bathroom in packs "haha"? This. This is why. Why we have a friend or 2 on retainer when we go on a first date, so we don't get raped. We are NOT playing hard to get. Just stop if we ask you to. If you can't take context clues or read a face or body movements, then listen to our words. Please for the love of God.

(Women: This thing is happening to us) (Men: no it's not. how dare you) I don't understand why so many men will try to make themselves out as not only the person in the right but the person who knows more.

I wish they would post the negative posts where the jerks were talking shìt. I feel like I'm missing some of the story..

I am so sorry this happened to you. I have to wonder if you were HIS daughter, how he would feel to witness such an encounter?! I have tried to intervene when I have seen such acts and would hope others would as well. Surely such ignorant behavior can be avoided with better parenting! What a terrible example this man set for not only his own children (if he has any) but everyone else around him!

I’Ve never understood men who won’t take “no” for an answer. Do they really believe they’re sooo irresistible that no woman in her right mind could possibly turn them down? There’ve been times I’ve wanted to shout at them “It’ll NEVER happen because you are SO repellent to me that I’m trying not to vomit just TALKING to you!” I’m the type who, if you don’t show even the merest inkling of interest, I go away. It wouldn’t even cross my mind to try to convince a man of my charms. I haven’t the self-esteem for that! … A lightbulb just went off in my brain: perhaps self-esteem is finite, and the reason so many women have so little of it is because so many men took way more than their fair share of it. 🤔

One of the commenters stories about what happened to her on a flight to Dubai, I would have elbowed that perv in the face while making a science saying very clearly and loudly “get your hands off my _____” (whatever body part he was touching) and then quietly said “is it ok if I do that?”

And people wonder why feminists have become so toxic. This is a perfect example of why. Too many uneducated perverts

Normalize carrying gelding knives!

I was so inexperienced when c**p like that started happening, I literally didn't understand. I had just turned 12, and the younger brother (late teen's, early 20's) of my step-dad's coworker asked me how old I was, in front of my mom, step-dad, and step-dad's coworker. When I told him 12, he asked when I would turn 13! Did anyone say a word? No! I didn't know enough to be creeped out. I was just confused about why he wanted to know how old I was and why he wasn't asking anybody else. It wasn't until a few years later that I finally understood.

Something similar happened to me on a bus years ago, even put his hand on my leg. I was too shocked to do anything right then and broke down at work the next day when it really sunk in. This young woman is made of really strong stuff, I wishedi had been as proactive as she was. No man, old or young should even consider this behavior acceptable

Obviously what this guy did isn't right but it in no way reflects men as a whole, and yet all you bitter a*s females try to make it out to sound like this is all men, all the time. I wish more of you would go choose the bear so the world can be rid of your stupidity and toxicity.

Who said there were no repercussions? Perhaps the boss fired him, but at the right place and time.
