Getting grabbed in NYC night clubs


OK. So I am out last night and I get up to go to the bathroom at a crowded NYC bar/dance floor. On my way back, the crowd has gotten a little tighter, so I just have to kind of barrel my way through. I typically do this with one arm up shielding my face, using that elbow to cut the crowd. So I am banging and bumping my way through when I get grabbed. And not my ass...my crotch. And here is how you know it isn't accidental: there is definite cupping and then the guy always looks back. So I start yelling, "What the f*#k, dude? Really?" His friend is now trying to get in my face, which is funny because it is like oh, your friend can't kick my ass but you can? What, you want to fight a girl? This all happens as I am nearing my table so it is pointless to pursue it. But it brings me to my question, or questions.


  1. What does he think will happen? That I will reach back for him and we will dry hump on the dance floor?

  2. And does this happen to everyone else? I have to say, I went out a lot in Austin and occasionally got the butt grab, but the lower frontal grab seems to be only in NY. And it happens a lot. Seriously, wtf?

Well this has actually happened to me 3 times but not at a club (before I got married). Maybe I shouldn't say this but the 3 times that it happened it was done by 3 different Jamaican's. I was casually walking down the street they would get close to me and just grab my vajayjay...I'd be stunned and I paniced and really didn't try to fight back cause in reality what's the point. Then I thought to my self is this something "they" casually do? At the club scene I've gotten the usual butt & boob grab. I've even gotten the psycho guy that would grab me and wouldn't let go.

That happened to me once when I was 18 and at the tunnel in nyc. Men are very disrespectful nowadays. Its pretty pathetic what we as women have to deal with. It js gotten to the point that we come to expect the ass grab which is actually a form of sexual assault.

A friend of mine who had her ass grabbed pressed charges. At the time I thought she was going overboard but in hindsight it was admirable. Men need to be taught to value and honor women.
