“If people set their minds on interrupting someone, they can…”
I suppose they can, but it seems difficult and dangerous.
I find it interesting that the woman is more concerned about the uninvited sexual contact than about the danger. If I were in her position, I would consider the slap on the tuchus relatively minor compared to the danger.
This incident illustrates a general difference between men and women. A woman tends to experience more distress in response to something like a slap on the tuchus by a man than a man would if the same thing were done to him by a woman. A man is more likely to dismiss being groped by a woman. A woman experiences much more distress at being groped by a man.
As an example, I was once “Kavanaughed.” I was invited to a neighbor’s to watch a rerun of Star Trek. I was tackled to the floor by a woman who was a guest at the neighbor’s. She had been drinking. She was attempting to perform sex acts on me, trying to reach underneath my clothes, etc. Similar to the Kavanaugh incident, her friends persuaded her to stop.
Unlike Ms. Ford, in the Kavanaugh incident, It didn’t ruin the rest of my life; it didn’t even ruin the rest of my afternoon. We went on to watch the Star Trek episode with the woman present. Her continued presence was of no consequence to me.
Men do not experience the same amount of distress from an act of uninvited sexual contact by a woman as a woman would from the same contact by a man.
