Perfect comment.... for those guys who say its only a grope... WWYD if a guy grabbed your junk... just slap him and say don't touch me? bwahaha... yeah right.....

So if a girl grabs my a*s I have the right to chokehold her? Right... And after that i'm sure she would be the one arrested. It would suuurely be the same.

i would give him a punch in the face like any normal human, no chokehold wich actually kills people

Why does it have to be a man groping another man? Women can do it too, not always males...

Just posted the same comment. Didn't see yours! My point exactly. How many men would stand for another man grabbing their genitals and they say well sending him to jail would be too harsh just because he only touched me once. Men can such fools.

If we call groping like it is -- and it IS -- sexual assault, then I have been sexually assaulted hundreds of times in my life. If women begin to answer that question honestly (instead of assuming that "sexual assault" only means forced penetration, which has its own word: rape), the statistics will begin to show it, which may lead to some real education for boys in school. Because groping can certainly lead to rape, as "locker room talk" leads to groping. It is a matter of teaching men respect while they are still boys. And women (and girls) should definitely be encouraged to fight back.

"it was just for fun". If you'd punched him in the mouth, it would have been hard to smile and say it without his teeth.

This is what upsets me about this kind of behaviour, that they think it 'was just for fun', and they think we should be bloody well GRATEFUL that they 'appreciate' us.

@Danny I totally agree with you. In fact, in my younger years, I myself grabbed a man's a*s in a bar and then laughed about it with my girl friends. Today I look back to that moment and I just want to slap myself. I will never do that again for sure. "Not to do to others what you would not have done to you" is my motto now.

@Walt Rowen What you said made me think a lot. I was quick to judge the man and thought without even knowing him that it was a habit of him to grab women. I never made the parallel between him and I and I think it's not okay. For that I am sorry. I think we treat men assaults on women differently than women assaults on men because the now "liberated" women try to find their new place in society and finding a new place is often hard and messy, and entails some mistakes. I think we are in a "rebellious" phase, we try to assert ourselves and sometimes, we are going too far, in order to make a stand.

So where is the proof that he did this? where is the evidence? Or is this just a she said he did scenario. Most of you seem to be so quick to either defend the man, or condemn the woman, that you've forgotten about the most important thing of all. Innocent until proven guilty. Use your head...

Ok so there was a restaurant in Scotland where the waiters used to wear kilts. Women kept going there and lifting up the men's kilts to get a look at what lurked beneath because they believed that the men weren't wearing any underwear. The women claimed all the things you say men said to you and eventually the waiters uniforms were changed. So long as you agree that men aren't playthings either and that the waiters would have had the same right to violently retaliate against the women who had sexually assaulted them then you and I are on the same page. So do you agree?

Repeating what I said before. ....'just banter', 'just a bit of fun', actually makes it WORSE in my view, because they are trivialising what is at the very least an invasion of your personal space.

So sorry you have to put with such a job where the owner does not protect you. If I was the owner of such bar I would have these jackasses taken out of my business right away. Also they could never be served in my bar.

Mary Smith actually, your the one whose being delusional, just because its not reported as much doesnt mean it doesnt happen just as often...you must be a woman who thinks rape, not only doesnt happen to men it cant...which it cant..consent is consent...problem is, if a man fights back against as his ONLY option, , hes usually the one in cuffs, not her

You're complaining that men look down your top when cleaning tables? If a guy came up to serve you in a restaurant and had the "perfect" body and was wearing a wifebeater, tell me that you would not look in any way, shape or form at anything but his face the whole time he was tending to your table. Also, tell me that a good percentage of women who work at any place that sells a lot of alcohol to young men don't wear cleavage shirts specifically to get better tips. It's a purposeful strategy all over so you can't get shocked nor offended if men look.

I guarantee if the roles were reversed ie he put her in a choke hold after she grabbed his a*s HE would be getting arrested !

I agree. assault means interfering with another person or touching them against their will. When its a man vs a woman there is the added issues of strength/institutionalised beliefs/rape fears etc that impact on it to make it worse. Also, since there is no reply link under Adrijana's comment I want to reply to her in this one. A man who is attracted to other men is not a "dirty gay pervert". He is just a man who finds men attractive. Please try not to attack others for just being ordinary human beings. If a man inappropriately touches someone male of female, that is wrong, but so is your insulting attitude towards gay men.

even death?

No, HE went too far.

What if the genders were reversed? I'm guessing you would have the same opinion, right? I mean... equality and all. If you are able to chokehold a person like that you are not afraid for your safety, you're just doing it because you're pissed. The guy is garbage yea, but she overreacted. You do realize there are limits to self defence, right? Again, if the genders were reversed the guy would still be the one arrested.

It is a crime, but should you commit a crime in response?
