[trigger warning for sexual assault/touching]

Back when I was in high school, David Polini stood behind me during a chemistry demonstration. Very close. For a moment, I was thinking "quit pushing me". But he kept pushing me. Pushing himself into my butt. And then the slow creeping realisation hit me. Oh my god. That's his penis. Why is he pressing

Ditto you. I tend to forget. Mostly. (I'm still irate about the moron in New York who thought that touching and trying to kiss me AFTER I'd said no was -not- sexual harassment.)

I suspect that most of your male friends, like myself, have never done anything like these horrible acts. I find them contemptible and pathetic, the acts of cowards and bullies. I suspect that many of us, being smaller and nerdier (I was when at school, then a very late growth spurt of 4" changed everything at 21) have been subjected to numerous acts of violence, also at the hands of other men. I know I endured more than I can count, and I also have some stories like yours, again, all involving men. It's not that only men do these things, just that we seem to do the bulk of them. Gah. Men, too many of us doing messed up stuff, too much crap on the fringes meaning they get away with it too often.
