WOMEN...let me KNOW YOUR LIMITS......
I need your help lady-ladies.. this is a call out for your stories..your experiences, your mates...anyone of the female persuasion who has been 'indecently assaulted' on a night out.
I finally gave out the last 'ffs' 2 weekends ago. On the way out the ladies, across the dance-floor, a warm claw snaked up my skirt and had a lovely grasp of what can only be called 'my vagina'. On impulse i spun round and grasped the wrist of the offending mitt and went to land one on the frankly horrifying bin-lid of a face that leered at me. He ducked and made a run for it...i was still holding on and..pow. Onto the floor I skittered like a dolly-bird. The bouncer immediately assumed i was a drunken flooze (highly unlikely on central london booze-rates) and the dick got away. I explained what had happened and a few people backed up my anger but it was too late. And you wanna know the worst part....I dropped the pound I'd just found in the toilets. Sad times.
So I got talking to various people about the incident. Decent upstanding men were horrified (*pats on heads* well done) but i was shocked at how many women added 'yeah me too' or 'my mate one night' etc etc. I know stuff like this has happened to me fairly often and I assumed I was just unlucky or something? It once made it almost to court but was thrown out as i was 'an over-sensitive victim' (another rant for another time...hand inside underwear?? excuuuse me for being a prude.) I thought maybe something about my demeanour gives the impression that I'm well up for strangers sweaty appendages having a good go on the goods. But it's not uncommon.
Why does it happen and why so often? What can we do? Is it our responsibility? I dunno. I can't answer these questions yet but please help me...us?
I want your stories and experiences. Be as honest as you want/can. Comment back here, message me, or email me. winandtonic@hotmail.com
All information will be treated with complete confidence.
I don't know as of yet where I'm going with this but I want to get all the information together before I decide. I need all the support I can get before I start opening my gob and firing off. Pass this on please. Put the word out there.
Oh look, i'm a feminist today. Reclaim the night...women grr....i got a nice new bra etc.
