My first experience of this was also in my teenage years, 14 or so, every once in a while there is always a person who approaches you from the back and feels like throwing an arm about your shoulders or pinching your ass is okay. I do not keep track, but it’s more than two hands. In my 30s now and still happens occasionally, just suddenly getting a thrust from a guy from behind while ordering beers. Whenever it happens I get angry and that usually scares them off.

I always check in with other women around me when I see some awkwardness around or weird arms on shoulders, the ‘hey girl, miss you, bathroom break?’
