Women need to go back to the old accepted way of dealing with gropey men: Wind up, b*tch slap them, and curse them out loudly so EVERYONE knows just what happened.

knee to the gonads works well.
She was a member of the armed services. Bergdahl goes free, Major Hassan has three hots and a cot and she’d end up in Leavenworth for kneeing a sitting senator.
That worked when the cultural norms enforced sexual decorum and these men still had a sense of shame.
Giving a man a good slap today might effect something, but not what it did in the ‘old days’.
EXACTLY...hit the A-hole and yell at him, too. I once made a scene in the Seattle Public Library when I was 17....I was standing by a shelf of books, and some old guy got down and was looking up my skirt...Yes, late 60s...I was wearing a somewhat short skirt....I really embarrassed my friend who was with me...but got the librarians attention..can’t remember what happened to the guy...we left.
I don’t understand when or why women in general stopped doing that. I say women in general because I would likely still do that or at least say something to them loud enough for everyone to hear. Supposedly independent feminist women have just let men grope them without a word? Seems so but doesn’t make sense to me.
I understand why a female soldier would be in a bad spot with a senator. That is a situation where she would have to be careful. So many others though I just want to say- Why did you not loudly tell them not to touch you or slap them or something?
I have never in my life had a man think he could just put his hands on me. Never had it happen and worked in jobs dominated by men; agriculture, construction, with federal law enforcement officers- in the offices- even the open and at job sites. I even worked in bars as a second job when I was young. Never had a man think he could get away with harassing me. I do not really know why, maybe I seem mean. I had plenty of men flirt with me, and ask me for dates though they soon found I did not like that at work either.
