10-second groping rule

Forgive me for straying from the theme of this discussion again, but what can I say, I am old! I love watching older movies on TCM and am always astounded at the changing times. Our friends Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Gregory Peck, Rock Hudson etc. all kept going after their eventual partners who kept saying no, over and over until they finally said yes! There was even a song about the pursuit of your loved one! The ladies had to say no to make sure the heroes didn't think they were promiscuous. Now no means no! Okay, I fully understand the reason behind that, just remarking on changing mores!

So, I guess if the girl kicked old guy's gonads into his mouth, in just 9 seconds, she'd be within the law???
Why do I get a funny feeling this 'judge' will be taking an "extended vacation" at the request of his fellow judges.

I get the feeling that this is acceptable behavior among the judiciary as long as no assault (attempted r@pe) is committed.

The case involves a 17-year-old student at a Rome high school.

She described walking up a staircase to class with a friend, when she felt her trousers fall down, a hand touching her buttocks and grabbing her underwear.

"Love, you know I was joking," the man told her when she turned around.

Joking? How does this sound: I would give him 6 months in jail with a 3 year suspended sentence....that's no joke.
 
I was in my twenties and riding in an elevator when I felt a hand grab my a$$. I grabbed the hand, stuck his arm straight up into the air and yelled out, “Whose hand is this? I found it up my a$$!” Then I yelled, “You fing pervert!”. Everyone turned to look at this perv while he turned all shades of green.

I don't know what he was expecting me to do when he did that in a crowed elevator, probably just take it and say nothing, but that's not how I roll.

Thus the popularity of women-only subway cars in many countries. Women have been expected to "put up with it" and making a fuss when groped was considered to be "unladylike". Hmmmph. I'd show 'em where they could put their hands.....they'd have them clutching their manlies in pain.

Good for you!
 
The ten-second standard seems as random and arbitrary as the five-second rule for food dropped on the floor; that is, if you retrieve the dropped item within five seconds, you can safely eat it... 🙀

Lol, studies have pointed out that an item that has fallen on the floor(eg: butter side down) is as dirty as it's going to get, the very instant it hits the floor. 5 or 10 second rules are a little white lies people tell themselves, so that they can eat something yummy that's gotten floor filth on it. :eek:

..now, if you pick it up and blow on it then the food item is as clean and pure as a Sunday communion wafer. ;) ;) ;)
 
I've only been "accosted" once in my life. Oh, I've been whistled at and some naughty things yelled at me, but I'm talking full-contact accosting.

I was about 15 and had to go to the main library for some research for a report. I was down in the basement in the "stacks" trying to find a book I wanted when a man, perhaps in his 30's, came down the aisle toward me. As there wasn't a lot of room between the shelves, I got close to the shelf to let him by, turning my back to him. Instead, he pressed me against the shelf with his body and rubbed against me for a few seconds.

I was so shocked that I simply couldn't let out a squeak. After a couple of seconds, he released me, chuckled a nasty sort of laugh and sauntered slowly down the aisle. I was absolutely paralyzed. I could not move. He didn't even look back at me. It was like he knew that I wasn't going to scream.

It seemed like forever before I could get my legs to move and flee the basement. He was nowhere around when I went up to the main floor and I was too embarrassed to tell anybody what had happened. I never even told my parents or any of my friends. I never went to the basement of the library again. If I couldn't get the book I needed on the main floor, I didn't get it.

Why I was "embarrassed" I don't know. I think that sort of predator recognizes his victims and knows they're not going to make a fuss.

Nowadays, if someone tried that with me, he'd be wearing his *******s as a necktie. But as a very innocent 15-year-old, I had no way to cope with something like that. I don't feel that it deeply scarred me for life or anything like that, but it sure was upsetting at the time.
 
I don't know what it is with men. Why do they have to expose themselves and think the girl likes it.? I can remember coming home from school one day with a friend and as we passed this car the man sitting on the driver's side had his *******s sitting on his lap, we were shocked. I never told
my mother. Another time when I first started work and worked overtime an old fellow came walking towards me with his Pe**s hanging out. He had an overcoat on and just pulled it aside. It put me off men for a very long time. I've never heard of women exposing themselves, maybe I'm naive, has any man on here ever experienced women exposing themselves? It would be interesting to read their comments.

My ex-husband in one week of his teacher training had a teenage girl in the class spread her legs slightly and display that she wasn’t wearing underpants. She had a little smirk on her face. He just looked away and ignored it.
