    Should a woman “just tell everyone she doesn’t like it” if random people start grabbing her?

      First of all, unless this dude works at a strip club, I very highly doubt random coworkers are coming up and grabbing his biceps.

      I would buy this story more if it was a single female who continued to do this, but this just doesn’t add up.

      Secondly, if a woman’s biceps were being grabbed by a man, I’d have no idea what the fuck was going on.

      This story is fake as shit and ya’ll are treating it like it’s a case study.

        No, we just treat it at face value, knowing little of the real situation.

        And reality is, men ARE abused and harrassed by women, and it’s much harder for them to speak out about it. Which makes it even more important not to distrust these stories straight from the start - they get their dose of distrust and victimblaming everywhere else.
