I'll leave your comment up so people can see why.<BR/><BR/>Stef: I was at a petrol station at 1am in the morning. I don't think I should have to waste my energy on a 'don't fuck with me attitude' to stop myself being assaulted every time I go out in public.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212711843307060731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148270504307005472006-05-22T16:01:00.000+12:002006-05-22T16:01:00.000+12:00I think you did a good thing to go to the cops abo...I think you did a good thing to go to the cops about it. Milt is right, if it isn't reported then it basically didn't happen.<BR/><BR/>Just as a side note I do think women need to be more agressive and develop a don't fuck with me attuide. If men sense fear or weakness they are going to take advantage of it. I've had to learn how to develop that living in Korea, and I've found that since I've learned how to put the assholes in their place, the advances have lessened in terms of frequency and severity.<BR/><BR/>So while yes, men need to stop abusing women. We also need women to stand up to men.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680274679737065263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148212412797709562006-05-21T23:53:00.000+12:002006-05-21T23:53:00.000+12:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018291045351322964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148167494457297132006-05-21T11:24:00.000+12:002006-05-21T11:24:00.000+12:00Sophia, IS,-Out of respect to the owner of the pro...Sophia, IS,-<BR/><BR/>Out of respect to the owner of the property I wont correct you or say anything more until Maia says I can.<BR/><BR/>I'm zipped.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315796390662297759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148130669386187842006-05-21T01:11:00.000+12:002006-05-21T01:11:00.000+12:00Rick: because he is a jerk who thins the strong sh...Rick: because he is a jerk who thins the strong should be allowed to victimise and abuse the weak.

How about telling sexist, entitled men to deal with the fact that it's totally inappropriate to smack women? Rather than berating women for feeling intimidated, why not direct your scorn at the men who intimidate them? Why sneer at the victim rather than the victimizer?Sofiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271450822046525653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148085621105706912006-05-20T12:40:00.000+12:002006-05-20T12:40:00.000+12:00I'm sick of living a world where my body is an obj...<I>I'm sick of living a world where my body is an object for other people to enjoy</I><BR/><BR/>An unfortunate soul attribute, but I think you'll agree it's one of the best, if you think twice.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, you don't need to engage the police force every time someone slaps you on the ass.

Which is one reason why such behaviour continues. People just don't make the connection between "hit someone on the arse" and "assault".Idiot/Savanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993069909613708957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148075767693334612006-05-20T09:56:00.000+12:002006-05-20T09:56:00.000+12:00Oh, how horrible!

I don't know whether it's enjoyment of the actual touching, or enjoyment of the intimidation, or enjoyment of the fact that they know they'll fucking well get away with it, but I hate it. I doubt the police would do shit, to be honest.Sofiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271450822046525653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1148056326426036322006-05-20T04:32:00.000+12:002006-05-20T04:32:00.000+12:00i hear you Maia - a friend of my partnerĀ“s used to...i hear you Maia - a friend of my partnerĀ“s used to slap me on the arse on a regular basis - i asked him to stop, he did it again, so i slapped him on the cheek and he never did it again. i hate that i had to hit him and i hate that i had to even tell him not to in the first place.Spanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896745511007816190noreply@blogger.com
