		<description>Bunny -&lt;blockquote&gt;I remember so many guys who, having groped me or my friends, were really shocked and offended that we got angry with them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ve had that kind of response when I&#039;ve confronted street harassers. It&#039;s like they have no idea that their behaviour is unacceptable. 

I had one guy follow me half way home from a bar, making a nuisance out of himself. The next time I went back to that bar he approached the friend I was with to tell her how much &lt;em&gt;I &lt;/em&gt;had scared &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; by saying no when he asked for my phone number. Grr.

And Aishwarya, like everyone else has said, your reaction by no means make you a bad feminist. The groper&#039;s the bad guy in this situation.

		<description>  That almost makes it worse. I had a boyfriend like that. He felt compelled to demonstrate ownership. Sheesh.  </description>

		<description>Joy your story reminded me a little of a improv comedy group I saw in DC. Small theater, small group.

The group was doing a scene and suddenly one of the male actors (who was standing behind a female actor) put his hands full on her breasts. Right in front of the audience. For a good while.

I remember it caught the attention of myself and my friends. The *only* explaination that maybe we could devise was perhaps the pair were dating. It was just so obvious and yet the scene continued as if it was &quot;okay.&quot;

		<description>yeah, &quot;Eve Teasing&quot; sounds so much more...whimsical and benign than &quot;harassment,&quot; somehow.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I just don’t get the groping thing. I really don’t.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Joy&#039;s example shows really well what&#039;s going on.  The assailant gets off on the power.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve done it.  Sometimes you just feel like a reaction is what they want and you don&#039;t give it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to grab the balls (hard) of any man who tries it in future.  I&#039;ll probably get smacked or punched, but it will be worth it.</description>

		<description>  You know, just reading about it sounded so familiar to me, reaction and all. The hatred of women is just so pervasive---and yet invisible, because we&#039;re not supposed to count. </description>
