I took the metro, went out on the platform and took the escalator up and a man behind me slapped me on the butt.
I turned around and stared at him with my glazed eyes and said “cool down.”
He just grinned.
I guess women experience things like that all the time.
Sexism is sexism no matter what your sexual orientation is.
A girl slapped my ass in school. I didnt like that, she was older than me by like 5yrs.
No, i didn’t like it either, i did not see it as a compliment but as an aggressive thing
If someone slapped my ass, I would see it as harassment,
Yea same for me. Its disrespectful for me.
I have heard of someone, a customer, who got arrested for touching a store associate’s ass. So it is really serious.
Yes, but it was a stranger and i did not know how to react, but im okay now. I have tried it before but it was at gay clubs and when i was young so that was what i could expect
Yea when I was 26,or 27, there was this man who was maybe in his 40s, he sexually harassed me more than once, but I didn’t understand it at the time.
I was so ■■■■■■■ naive.
The worst part is that I still see that person around and they stare at me.
It is simply disgusting
Yes, when you’re young you are more vulnerable to such things. It’s disgusting.
I don’t feel harassed though, just annoyed that i did not tell him to ■■■■ off
Disliking sexual harassment doesn’t make you homophobic, and you don’t even know if the guy was gay. Most gay guys would never be that obvious and aggressive about it because they would risk getting beaten up.
If it was pure aggression he wouldn’t have slapped me on exactly the butt and grinned in i creepy way, and apart from that Copenhagen is not exactly an homophobic city.
When i was a young hetero i had a lot of gay friends, and went to clubs with them, when other men touched me it was okay,. I just told them i was hetero and not interested.
It was the circumstances that were wrong.
You can’t just assume that someone is gay because they slapped your butt. Maybe he just enjoys being a creep, maybe he was looking for a fight, maybe he was high. Maybe he was all of those things.
Either way it isn’t homophobia.
And I can promise you that gay people are scared of being beaten up in Copenhagen too.
True, i can’t know for sure he is homosexual, i didn’t ask him!!
But a slap in the butt has a sexual association, and since he was a man, my guess is he was gay.
Yeah I know. He might be. But don’t worry, it’s absolutely not homophobic and he was way over the line.
Yes, i thought about it, and i remember even in Copenhagen gay people have been beaten up.
I’m really sorry this happened to you, no one should be touched in a way they don’t want to be. Really sorry you went through that.
This doesn’t make you a homophobe. What he did was wrong and disrespectful of your boundaries. I’m my opinion, it was a sexual assault. Not an extreme assault, but one anyway. You are in the right.
Were there any kind of security people around that you could report this guy to? He shouldn’t get away with that.
Thanks. No i was late at night and it happened really fast and then he was gone.
