At the time I had this philosophy that at that age we'd do homosexual things to rouse someone's homophobia and make them feel uncomfortable. So I'd just say "get off me" and I'd laugh it off. But years later, I think I should have reacted a bit more to it. I think this sort of stuff happens a lot with teenage boys, and they don't really think it is abuse/harassment, just boys being boys. Stuff like ball-tapping, locker room antics, and tea bagging come to mind.

Also, one time I gave a drunk man a hug because he was crying about his mother's death, and then he grabbed my ass and also my breast.

It was sort of shocking. Didn't really know what to do, so I just sort of ignored it.


I can understand how women have a hard time with harassment.

God.

I have a friend who was forced to see some other boy fuck a pig.
