    Women Groped In Public

    Sure...I think many women will have had that experience. Since I use public transport a lot, most of my experiences have been on the bus or train.

    Most of us feel disgusted, angry and just violated. Every such experience of mine has been horrific. I feel disrespected and disturbed after the incident, for a few days at least. This is irrespective of whether the man was attractive or not. Frankly, I don't care how the man looks. He just does not get to touch me without my consent.

    In some cases, men from a distance can be mentally undressing women too - very, very disgusting. Most of the women I've met would agree with me on this - we do NOT feel comfortable with being sexually harassed - at all, in fact, the first thing we feel is fear and disgust followed by anger.

    Yes. Although it happened over 10 years ago, public transportation, I still get disgusted and feel violated when I think of it, the same feelings Misha pointed out. You feel like a victim and replay it so see how you could have somehow avoided it. Weird doesn't really describe someone taking sexual pleasure at your expense without your agreement.

    I.. have done this to a woman at a club and looking back on it I feel kind of bad for doing it now.

    metalhead, what the **** is wrong with you? You really think an attractive man can go around groping strangers and they will all be like, "omg who was that hot groper?! I simply MUST be groped again."

    Sure. After the initial shock, constant exposure at regular intervals pretty much make it "normal."

    I guarantee you their level of anger/disgust shares an inverse relationship with how attractive the perpetrator is.
