The question doesn't need to be asked, unless you're attempting to out perverts and deviants. It is plainly not on to touch someone without consent.
it does need to be asked because i want to know what people think.
why is that so hard
i watched a video with a lady and her two daughters and she said groping is no big deal while the daughter jut agrees with her.
i want to know if more people feel that way.

I don’t make a fuss..
They pay my bills.
So what if an old lady grabs my behind in a lift every once in a while.
I don’t have a significant other to report back to, I can see how it changes when the behind belongs to someone else.

Unwanted touching of any kind is a no no.
Remember the thread you started about your creepy coworker who kept his hand lingering on your shoulder when he talked to you, TST ? It may have not been seen as groping, but it was definitely pass the mark of acceptable touching.
I have told my kids that their personal space is theirs, and anything they don’t feel comfortable with is something they should speak up about. Politely if possible, but in some cases a simple, firm rebuke is needed.
Even a simple hug can turn into a grope of some sort. I try to avoid them in real life ( cyber hugs are ok 😏)

It's OK if you ask for permission, and get that authorization on video.
And notarized.

I asked a coworker if I could "squeeze her Charmin" while we were on an elevator once. She said "OK". It was a fun 20 seconds to the 30th floor that day!

Context is important to determine scale.
Me, as a 45 year old man, groping someones daughter on her 18th birthday is detestable.
Me, as a 15 year old boy still trying to feel out boundaries in an awkward encounter with another 15 year old classmate...not really quite as detestable.
Its all context and scale.

What I would tell my daughter or son?
If it wasn't invited , punch them in the throat. If they did it again, alert the authorities. Hard for them to do it again while laying on the ground choking .

You have a hard time staying on topic in your threads. The mattress shooting was days ago in another thread. We are talking about grown man not knowing if it's ok to grope another human being. Or wondering if all feel the same way.....Grown men don't have to ask people if that's an ok to grope another. You should have been taught that years ago. Oh...thanks for the capitalization in your reply to my post...makes it so much easier to read.

Wait- that was TST's thread?? The one with the guy who kept touching him? And TST was about to go over the edge about it?
!!! Yeah, TST, why DID you start this thread??
