Dear women* of the world:

If an action would be inappropriate if it was a male performing it on a female, this means it is also inappropriate if it is a female performing it on a female.

Or in less subtle terms, get your fucking hands away from my goddamn tits, especially if I hardly know you. Your random faux-groping of my chest? Is neither cute nor funny, it's uncomfortable, and now that I've actually clicked that it's sexual harassment, I will be reacting supremely unfavorably next time it occurs.

No love
Kat

*Why is this post to the women of the world and not to the men? Because thus far, I have never had a male acquaintance grab, or pretend to grab, my breasts. I'd love to keep it that way.

ETA: This is not to say that I am always against groping all the time. But I'd like it to have a reason, and I'd be overjoyed if you would ask for permission first. You know, like a decent human being and not a slimeball.

Exactly. And somehow a lot of women women think that the rules of "hey, let's have touch be mutually agreed on" only applies if it's a guy doing the touching.
