(no subject)
So, I'm a little irked.
The other night I was at a party with some friends, having a good time until some guy I don't know very well came up behind me and smacked me on the ass, hard. If it had just been that one time, I could understand. People get drunk, people do inappropriate things, welcome to my world. Once is no big deal. But I think the words "stop," "don't do that," and "don't touch me," send a very clear message - especially when repeated.
BUT when it happened a second and a third and a fourth time, the frat-daddy alpha-male behavior was no longer tolerable. If, given this back story, my greatest retaliation was throwing a beer in said dude's face, I don't see what the problem is. Clearly this wasn't the most adult way for me to express my disgust, but at the same time I don't feel that this was a disproportionate response. So when someone demanded an apology of me, it was baffling and, dare I say, uncool.
Anyways, I don't bring this up to fan the flames, but rather to explain my complete lack of remorse. Welcome back, lj.
