If you ever get raped or sexually assaulted, I hope the OP is right there to point out that maybe if you hadn't worn a short skirt/low-cut top/high heels/whatever, it wouldn't have happened, so it's obviously your fault. I will never understand how people think it is okay for ANYONE to touch anyone else against their will, in any situation except for self-defense.

296- So true. if it happened to me, I'd chase his ass down, Mace his eyes, then stomp on his balls. lol jk. He was probably just a stupid little punk who should have gotten his ass kicked by a girl though. ;p

I'm not saying she deserves it because of what she wore. If she picked it up by squatting down, her ass would not have been in the air giving the perv. an opportunity to hump her, therefore avoiding the whole situation.

Yep... pendatik covered exactly what I was just going to respond. It's the same principle, whether you're talking about what someone wears or how they bent over. Still doesn't make it okay for someone to do that to you.

Yeah, I'm in full agreement with tigerlily. However the OP chose to pick up her purse, it in no way gives a stranger the right to touch her against her will.

Finally, some sense. It doesn't matter if the OP was walking around naked, IMHO, that still does not give anyone the "right" to sexual harassment. The man is sick.

Girls if you’re going to pms about it, you can at least do it right… its called sexual assault idiots. And if you chose to walk around naked; I think guys pretend humping your ass, will be the least of your concerns. (fyi nobody has the right to touch anybody, but that doesn’t mean you should provoke it)

Unclevername, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if assault covered clothed touching, or if the guy just humped the air behind the OP. I'm more frustrated at the posters with the "bend your knees or it's your fault" attitude. Just keep in mind that one person's dressed can be another person's naked, depending on culture. Very strict religious groups can say you're "naked" if you're showing your elbows. Provocation =/= deserve it.

Of course you should bend your knees! Unless you genuinely have knee trouble, it's really indecent to just stick your butt in the air while you pick something up. You don't sit with your legs spread wide when wearing a skirt, do you? No, because that's indecent. It offends me when women act like this.

Just FYI, I said "it's indecent", meaning her behaviour, and not "it is a crime and she deserves abuse". Calm down, for God's sake, and don't accuse me of saying she deserved it. She absolutely didn't, but I'm not talking about that - it *is* indecent, and if anything, just bad manners. Her parents should have taught her to be more of a lady when picking things up.

There *are* more interesting things in life to do than arguing against everyone you disagree with on the internet, but hey, to each their own I guess. :P

I do, but then I lose interest when it gets too serious. :P
