I can definitely remember a few times that I was grabbed from behind while in a group with my comrades. Good natured groping? Does that make me part of the team? Why do so many people laugh when it happens?
I guess as a male in a male dominated field I had to put up with it. I knew something at the time, my reaction would influence the future. Didn’t even turn around and acknowledge it. That’s a lesson I learned from being bullied as a child. I knew if I complained I would be ridiculed and probably punished, so I did nothing.
Anyways, sexual assault? Probably. Unwelcome touching? Definitely. It still bugs me today.
Just another broken molar.
