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.

I am disappointed to admit that I have been that girl before --back in tenth grade, when one of my best guy friends did a surprisingly passable job of dragging himself up for wacky tacky day. I'd like to think that I'd be much better about that sort of thing now.

The distinction betwen something two people share and something one person does to another is somewhat chilling, but I understand, emphaticaly, and I'm sorry it happened.
