That's true Elba. Sometimes men make some idiot things, that bore the women. Some of them understand it and try do not do such things anymore (just like me :oops: ). Lennye, situations like you had with that guy happens all the places, this way or in other ways.

I understand that. That's why I don't judge a whole barrel based on one or two rotten apples. The thing that bothers me is that those men like to do it for their own enjoyment. They seek the power in teasing women by giving them all the dirty pickup lines and inappropriate touches. Don't you think if the women, at least, should try to do something about this? For example, they should give those perverted men disgusted look or report it to the authority as sexual harassment. That way those men would learn their lesson, in my opinion. There's no excuse to mentally abuse a woman because she has less clothes than she should be having.

As for my case, I think I should have snapped out of fear a little bit faster and done something to that jerk who touched my private. It still haunts me every time I see someone with a grinning on his face. It reminds me of that loser before he sped off. And it brings anger to my emotions, which I have to balance things out with mediation. :roll:

:roll: Tell me about it! Last time, one Black kid slapped my behind when I was about to enter Subway to get a sandwich. He was about 10 to 12 years old, I think. I turned around and gave him an attitude, excuse me? He gave me a broad smile and said, cute Asian butt! Then he kissed me right on the lips and ran away. Those stupid jerks who were standing around were almost rolling around on the floor laughing. Arrrggghhh, I hate stupid boys and men!

Nice, really nice! Interesting video, but the narration is a little bit too fast (as for me).
