what would you do...

[MiniN]

Ladies: if you were walking around a shop one afternoon and some "man/pervert" followed you around then groped your bum, what would you do? and what would you think?

Men: what do you think of this behaviour? what would you think if this happened to a close female relative of yours (wife/girlfriend/sister/mum)?

[funnygirl]

Well, he certainly would not get away with it!!
I would whack him over the head with my big handbag, repeatedly until he is begging for mercy!
Maybe and then mayby I may grab him by the googlies and twist like no tomorrow!!
I have overdone it, haven't 1??

[Yorks lad]

well if it happened tomy wife i would exspect the guy to be really sorry as my wife is a keen kickboxer so i would exspect him to get at the very least puton his backside.

As for my mother he better not let eny of her sons catch up with him

[Goodsoulette]

I would tell him to "geroff"! It wouldn't mentally disturb me though. I in all honesty would probably think it was quite funny and worry about whether my bum felt alright. Then I would text everyone I know and tell them. Nothing humiliating happens to me without me needing to tell the world about it, apart from that time I got so drunk I wet myself on my hands and knees laughing in the pouring in front of my bpyfriend and all his sober mates.....ooops! Thats everything then.

[MiniN]

interesting responses, me and my friends always talk about hypothetical situations and what you would do.

this one, had us split.

although we agreed that the man deserved a swift kick in some place sensitive.

This actually happened to me, except it happened on the bus, this creep kept chatting to me but things turned decidedly nasty on the bus and through pure fear all I could do it get off as soon as possible and pray he wouldnt follow me, he did so I ran off the bus and into the first big company I could see. (there was only businesses)

I went in there and explained, I was shaking and scared, not because he kept trying to attack me on the bus but because he followed me off !

I was in too much shock to shout at this guy, fear can be quite crippling, I kept protesting but not actually screaming or shouting...

[Pippa68]

Not exactly PC, but I would probably like it.

Heck when you get to my age any attention is worthwhile :o)

[Reverandfunk]

my other half carries pepper spray since she was fondled on a bus

[Reverandfunk]

How you doin Pip....

[Pippa68]

I am giggling, Rev.

Sorry but your last reply made me laugh. I don't have my serious head on today due to way too much stress in real life..

[banjobabe]

Hey MiniN,

I like to think I would kick him in the nuts but hey who knows!

BB xx

[MiniN]

well this one hypothetical situation did happen to me for real, and the thing is I didn't think I'd react the way I would as I am quite a confident person and have told men off in bars for doing the same thing.

but i was shocked and scared (because of the situation) but thankfullly I was right minded enough to tell a member of staff what had happened.

its strange how you'd think you'd react and how you actually do. but i suppose that depends on the individual and the circumstances.

[4getmenot]

I;d have turned round and grabbed his Baubles

[Panic Button]

He might enjoy that

[Octavius]

Well I do do this actually. My real name is Gok Wan. The ladies don�t seem to mind, even when I ask them to get naked, they are always up for it.

In all honesty MiniN, I don�t think anyone would approve of or accept this behaviour, it constitutes sexual assault under Part 1, Section 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (unless the recipient consents of course). If it is deemed �of a sexual nature� and non-consensual by the court, the perpetrator could face a small prison term or a fine.

[Pippa68]

Well I was wondering..does a pinched bum equal a kick in the pills?

I would be more inclined to pinch his bum in return.

[cazzz1975]

Knowing how I reacted the first time (much like you miniN)
the only thing I could do realistically would be to carry pepper spray, I dont think I would hit him or shout at him through pure fear.

[excelsior]

it is in-excusable behavoiur..as a man i would never conceive of doing such a thing, no matter how attractive the lady is.

if it happened to someone who was with me - i'm not sure i could restrain myself against the individual . . . at the very least we'd call security

[mrs_overall]

The only time I've been groped was in the cinema in my teens when man sat next to me, put his hand on my knee & slid it up my skirt. I yelled "PERVERT" at the top of my voice and tipped my coke over his head. He tried to run for it but half the customers rugby tackled him.
If I couldn't get a clear kick in his lunchbox area I would risk elbowing him in the face and shouting as loudly as I could.
I was flashed at once but I couldn't do anything for laughing as his willie was the size of a mini chipolata.

[China Doll]

Well by bottom gets pinched/groped a fair bit in clubs and bars for some reason and I tend to find that a 'hold' I was taught when I used to do a martial art that allows you to pretty much remove the hand causing a significant amount of pain but no actual damage works wonders.

It did happen to me in a supermarket once and I applied the same technique.... However it would have paid if I had remembered that my boyfriend at the time was actually shopping with me. It was a little while before his hands went lower than my waist after that.... Ho hum.

[4getmenot]

My friend got her butt grabbed on dance floor once so she turned round and gave him a nipple twister, except it wasnt him that had groped her
