Entitlement?!?
What has happened to our culture? Why is it that a man thinks that just because he is a man he can reach out and touch a woman, my body, my property? And why is it that when I make it very clear that I do not want to be groped I am, and I quote,”no fun

It’s not acceptable on any level. “How would you like me to kick you in the nuts?” would have been the appropriate comeback.
I don’t see it as “entitlement” and I don’t think it has ever been acceptable in my lifetime. Replace “entitlement” with “sexual harassment” and you have a much more appropriate descriptor.
I taught my teenaged daughter to be verbally aggressive (and LOUD) if a male gets grabby-feely on her in a public place. It’s your body, you have a right to protect it. He may call you a bitch but so fucking what?
If that means being a bitch for telling someone to keep their hands off you, then by all means be a bitch, I would take the title of being a bitch over having unwanted hands all over me…I’ll embrass that title for sure!!!!
