[–]jdrama83 116 points117 points ago

I think SRS is ridiculous, but I can't believe this post (the gif, not your comment) is being upvoted. This isn't a harmless risque joke, it's sexual harassment. If some jackass did this to my mother or sister I'd want to kick his teeth in.

[–]qaphqa 26 points27 points ago

I think reddit as a whole would be a lot better if more people used the "what would I think if someone said this about my mom/sister" rule before posting their comment.

[–]jackiedoesdomestic 8 points9 points ago

it would still be super gross, inappropriate and uncool.

[–]rsim525 29 points30 points ago

No. That isn't a good analogy for this situation. A girl is probably smaller and weaker than his Dad. The appropriate analogy would be what if a large, homosexual male came up and did this to your Dad, and your Dad was unable to stop it.

Asking a guy if he'd react the same way a lady would react if the tables are turned is hardly turning the tables. When a woman is sexually harassed it is usually by someone stronger than them, someone who can take what they want by force. For it to be equal, you have to ask 1) Would you like it if someone who could hold you down and do this to you? and 2) You have no sexual desire towards that person. I find that using the example of a large homosexual male when turning the tables is actually a better representation of how a heterosexual male would react in this situation.

[–]battynat82 88 points89 points ago

Touching anyone on the ass/chest/crotch, etc. without their consent is sexual assault, the gender of either party is irrelevant.

[–]angrywhitedude 34 points35 points ago

I can't tell if this guy is trolling.. or that's how he really feels. I want to laugh, but if he is serious I feel bad for laughing.

[–]obotray 11 points12 points ago

Similar to pregnant women having their belly touched or people with tattoos being touched. Blurry privacy lines, but still lines nonetheless. Generally if your feature is one of envy then people feel it's ok to cross the line, cause it'd be a compliment. Not always so.

[–]Conflagrated 4 points5 points ago

Hello, Acer.

[–]rtothewin 1 point2 points ago

I used this subreddit as an example the other day as well...I like you.

[–]Misaiato 9 points10 points ago

I was 100% sure when I clicked comments the first 8-10 would decry the gif.

Was not disappointed.

Still laughed.

[–]kineo 42 points43 points ago

Still not cool. The dad might like it, but guys don't usually get slapped or fondled in public whereas women have to deal with this bullshit way more frequently than guys. Most of us dudes would probably high-five our friends because we got slapped on the ass my some stranger chick because it almost never happens. Even if it did, it's still harassment. There are a whole host of reasons why this is wrong... this gif is terrible.

[–]Misaiato 26 points27 points ago

I'll relate a story of mine on a train to work from my apartment in Fukuoka, Japan.

In Japan, perps on the trains are known as "chikan". These trains are so packed you cannot turn around, and these chikan are known to grab the asses of women and get away with it because you literally are crammed in like a sardine.

It's such a problem, there are signs on the platforms alerting people to be careful (not that there is much you can do).

So one day, I'm on the train, and I feel a hand on my ass (I'm a dude - 6'3", towering over everyone in Japan, not overly muscular, but solid). The hand proceeds to grab my right ass cheek so hard it brought a tear to my eye. It was not unlike what I imagine being molested by Iron Man might feel like. The squeeze endured for what seemed a minute, but was only probably a few seconds.

This chikan had an iron grip of death. I kid you not, holy hell in a hand basket my ass cheek did not feel right for the rest of that day.

I did not know whether to feel flattered, grossed out, outraged, happy, etc. On the one hand, someone just took advantage of my ass. On the other hand, someone admired my ass enough to want to touch it. I will not lie, as a dude, some amount of "hell yeah, my ass is awesome" definitely crept into my thoughts. But then the other voice immediately said "some other d00d just grabbed your buttocks - you must NOT be proud of this!"

It was a very confusing internal debate. No resolution was reached.

[–]ZeroHex 19 points20 points ago

Many girls (especially high school girls) have taken to carrying pins/needles/other sharp objects around with them for stabbing at groping hands on public transportation.

Source: Japanese international college students I, erm, got to know very well before graduating.

[–]kineo 6 points7 points ago

I imagine that would be uncomfortable and confusing... I don't know how I would react in that situation either. I'd probably feel similarly confused.

[–]rsim525 18 points19 points ago

Exactly. But sub in "homosexual male" for female and all of a sudden the guys who are bro-fiving change their tune very quickly.

[–]jdrama83 1 point2 points ago

Exactly, gender roles and expectations for men and women in our society are vastly different. If someone did this to my dad I wouldn't be offended, but I'd think it was weird and inappropriate. Some people are saying this came from a video taken in the Netherlands and the women were cool with it. Maybe that's true, and maybe these expectations are different there, but as an American this was just my first impression.

[–]slyder565 4 points5 points ago

oh FOR FUCKS SAKE REDDIT

[–]TimMitchell 20 points21 points ago

They seemed to be having fun in the video

There is a very fine line between having a goodtime and being playful and sexual harassment. I think this was just good fun but I could see why others wouldn't see it that way.

[–]kineo 32 points33 points ago

How can you tell that they might be having fun from that? All I heard was yelling.

[–]k1down 4 points5 points ago

But it would still be pretty funny right?

[–]Netegexi 1 point2 points ago

I think it's hilarious. If it were my mother or sister, I would laugh even harder. If it were my wife, I'd stand with my arms crossed muttering, "Touché, sir, touché..." as he rode off into the night.

[–]thefran 5 points6 points ago

This isn't a harmless risque joke, it's sexual harassment.

They were riding a beer bike and cheered at him when he did that.

[–]Jakobe909 2 points3 points ago

Americans have a huge stick up their ass and love threatening law suits at any little thing that happens to them. Truly sucks being the nation created by a bunch of uptight puritans.

[–]phedre 85 points86 points ago

Let's hope they pre-arranged this with friends. Can't say I'd be overly impressed by a stranger touching my ass.

[–]Aint_got_no_agua 40 points41 points ago

I'm not thinking he did it to impress the women on the cart. Probably his own friends. Just a theory though.

[–]wild_gone_rogue 25 points26 points ago

I'm thinking he did it to touch >5 women asses in the span of less time than it takes to realize you just made a bad decision

[–]BestPseudonym 25 points26 points ago

Last time this was posted somebody said that the Dutch were really laid back about this kind of stuff. No, this isn't in America.

[–]ChiefNugs 58 points59 points ago

Last time this was posted was yesterday. YESTERDAY.

[–]AlphaCunt 28 points29 points ago

Sexual assault wouldn't reach the mind of the normal European. People being on the booze cycle, drinking and laughing, some prankster decide to run his hand over one side of the cart. And since coincidentally there were no men on that side reddit are thinking about suing the hell out of that guy? Dude, that's so far off from our social living. They wouldn't be on the booze cycle in the first case if they didn't take life with a little bit of salt. It probably made their day and changed the mood of that cart. Wtf is wrong with reddit...lawsuit? What uptight world is US living in?

I was with a friend in Amsterdam and he combined a lot of mushroom, alcohol and marijuana at the same time. Had to bring him into a corner of the town because he was completely nuts and screaming. 4 pair of cops managed to pass by us along 2 hour interval and they were like "haha, looks like that guy did shrooms and green, that's a good combination...a hint: give him some sugar that will make him feel better" and then they rode off.

While US run their Judge Judy shows on when someone ninja stole an epic weapon inside World of Warcraft from another guy is getting sued for 10 grand...most European police wouldn't give a crap about childish pranks, time wasting and irrelevant stuff.

It's disgusting how american laws and mentality have gotten so bad as to call this sexual assault. This is a joke, a mere annoyance, and people act like its the same thing as violently beating and raping a woman (you know, TRUE sexual assault).

I'm a woman, and if some guy did this to me, honestly I'd fucking laugh. It's hilarious.

It's getting ridiculous.

[–]eekthebat 31 points32 points ago

Hey boys, I'm totally cool with you touching my ass unsolicited. Upvotes to the left.

[–]owlsong 31 points32 points ago

I totally get you! I think sexual assault is funny too, but only when it happens to men. It's especially funny when they're so high-strung about it, being all like "don't grab my dick!"

It's like, where's my kudos?!

[–]kimmehbee 75 points76 points ago

It's all fine and good that you don't mind it, but I don't see why that means it's okay to expect everyone else to be fine with it as well. Everyone should have the right to draw their own personal boundaries.

[–]me_jayne 68 points69 points ago

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

Thanks for being the spokesperson of women, I just wouldn't know what to think about all this if you weren't here to silence the rest of your peers who are disgusted by this. Thanks for giving the opportunity for would be molester reddit dudebros to cherrypick for non-flabbergasted reactions from women and ignore all the " DUDE WTF THIS ISN'T OKAY " posts.

I wanna say thank you for being a tool of oppression even though they'll never REALLY respect you for it, and you'll still just be a silly irrational woman to them but hey, you'll be " one of the good ones " that could overcome their handicap of being born not-dude. I hope the bones they toss you are truely worth it.

[–]mary_tyler_murder 42 points43 points ago

I'm a man, and if some guy did this to me, I'd be like "what the fuck is wrong with you, clown?" and then probably punch him in the face, the way that men do.

But I guess you're right, it's totally hilarious for a man to slap a bunch of women. That's much different than if he'd slapped a bunch of people who mattered, such as men.

[–]Louisville327 145 points146 points ago

HEY GUYS ONE ANONYMOUS PERSON CLAIMING TO BE A WOMAN SAYS IT'S OK SO NO WORRIES

[–]penelaine 97 points98 points ago

That's cool that some girls are fine with that, but I'm absolutely not cool with a stranger grabbing/touching/copping a feel of my ass or boobs. Not fucking cool.

It's easy to laugh at unless it happens to you. Like a guy getting tagged in the nuts unawares because someone else thought it would be funny.

[–]Seventh_Level_Vegan 15 points16 points ago

get sack tapped =! getting your ass grabbed.

[–]penelaine 3 points4 points ago

Point is, it's something most people of either gender won't appreciate.

I find guys getting tapped hilarious, but I'm not gonna do it to some poor dude. Ever. Even if I can get away with it and it's hilarious because that is what an asshole would do.

Edit: Obviously some people are struggling with seeing my meaning instead of the literal scenario.

[–]bitterpiller 138 points139 points ago

I'm a woman and I would love it if some guy sexually assaulted me. I'm not like those freaking high strung women. Now let me feel your approval all over my face!

Well look at you aren't you a special little snowflake..

Your attitude enables men to behave the way they behave. There's a whole group of women who was just violently sexually assaulted and you think it's funny...SHAME ON YOU!!! You make it hard for women to get respect! This video should of made you livid not laugh!

[–]Batcaptain 13 points14 points ago

Thank you. It seems like nobody else in the comments has a sense of humor.

Just because you find it funny does not make this an ok thing to do.

He touched women without their consent. What if someone groped your mother or sister or gf?

[–]LupivTheGreat 22 points23 points ago

You know what, you're right! I'm going to go out and touch a bunch of women inappropriately, they will surely laugh at how quirky and outgoing I am. And if they don't, I'll just say "It's okay, a woman on Reddit said she finds this stuff hilarious." </sarcasm>

[–]gwvent 23 points24 points ago

It's pretty sad when you consider this assault.

[–]abowden 19 points20 points ago

Just to be clear, you seriously think that it's acceptable for someone to touch another person's ass without their consent? What if I were walking home from work - minding my own business - and someone decided to come up behind me, grab my ass, and run away? Would that be okay too? Or is it only acceptable when you find it funny?

[–]kswiss1987 31 points32 points ago

But...it is assault.

[–]LupivTheGreat 14 points15 points ago

Wikipedia link on Sexual Assault:

The term sexual assault is used, in public discourse, as a generic term that is defined as any involuntary sexual act in which a person is threatened, coerced, or forced to engage against their will, or any sexual touching of a person who has not consented

[–]Molestinyocookies -4 points-3 points ago

This was not sexual. It was a joke. Nobody got sexually aroused from this, realistically.

If this is sexual assault, then so is me tapping somebody on the shoulder on the opposite side that I'm at.

[–]Onotix 16 points17 points ago

Just because he's not aroused doesn't mean they don't think it's inappropriate.

It is sexual assault and it is an incredibly douchy thing to do.

Sexual harassment is intimidation, bullying or coercion of a sexual nature

This is not sexual harassment, this is someone having some fun and you can tell by the reactions of the people on the cart that they took it as a joke. they won't need counselling or consoling after this incident, they will have a good laugh about it. seriously reddit calm down and stop being hyper PC.

[–]JRutterbush 6 points7 points ago

You're right, this isn't sexual harassment... it's sexual assault.

I don't care if you think it's funny, the fact is that this is unwanted sexual contact, and that is not okay.

[–]jack104 6 points7 points ago

No. No and fuck that. I usually have a pretty lax sense of humor but how would you feel if you were minding your own business and someone decided to slap you and the 4 closest people to you on the ass? I'd be fuckin' pissed and it doesn't matter that they didn't get pissed about it, what if they had?

[–]Kombat_Wombat 8 points9 points ago

I'm torn. This is obviously light-hearted and funny, but the naysayers in the thread are technically right, that any of those girls who felt violated by this guy could win in a court.

This would kind of be like if someone punched you on the arm just for fun, that you could get the police involved and charge them for battery.

It seems to me like there's a big catch-22. There's no appropriate action (for those that truly feel offended) due to the action not being really harmful.

I'm still upvoting.

[–]spacellama11 21 points22 points ago

Well, I think it's less about whether or not any of the women have legal recourse and more about whether it's acceptable public behavior. It's not really like getting a fun-punch on the arm and calling it battery.

The way I see it is (being a dude), is that if I was a woman - I would absolutely not want to be groped without my consent. It's not that I'm calling it a very serious sexual assault, but it would probably make me feel objectified and uncomfortable. In fact, the fact that it's light-hearted is what it makes it really quite awful... like it's just a joke to slap a woman's ass or touch her breasts and that it's acceptable playful behavior. Honestly? I would never want to be treated like that, especially not in public, and especially not as a joke. Treating it as a joke makes it seem like it's implicitly acceptable to do, and I think that's really unfair and degrading.

You... I like you.

[–]me_jayne 7 points8 points ago

Putting the legal issue aside, have you considered that it's just a dickish thing to do? I'd be more than a little annoyed annoyed if some random creep slapped my ass... it's only light-hearted from the guy's perspective, but it's not his ass, so I really wouldn't care how cute or funny it was to him.

[–]jack104 20 points21 points ago

that......that's awful.

[–]JohnComplains 15 points16 points ago

That's still really disgusting behavior.

[–]SkullyKitt 37 points38 points ago

"Awesome, a bunch of women who weren't expecting a random creepy stranger touching their asses today and recording the act, or having the ability to say anything to him after because I'll have sped by! I fucking love pissing people off!"

Sexual assault is funny! Hurray!

[–]WillyWankerFagtory 23 points24 points ago

I hear jimmies being rustled. It pleases me.

[–]Iz4e 8 points9 points ago

This thread and all the butt hurt is funnier than the actual pic

[–]BeatsbyChrisBrown 1 point2 points ago

"Wait a minute, that last one felt kinda funny..." Finkle is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkle!!

Is it strange that the majority of "I would smash that dude" comments are from America. Where, strangely enough, is where i encountered the most sexual harassment and least amount of vigilante justice on the perpetrator. is it a case of internet tough guys, or is everyone just more mellow in California?

[–]toobaddd 10 points11 points ago

Why is reddit full of pretentious White knights and feminists... These women are on a beer bike and if you have seen the video, they are enjoying themselves. These women don't see it as sexual assaults. Stop being so god damn sensitive.

[–]BritishHobo 6 points7 points ago

Oh god I wish people would stop fucking saying white knight. Even if your point is completely right, it still makes you sound like a childish 4channer who's bitter about not getting to be sexist.

[–]bushiz 4 points5 points ago

White Knight started out as a term for the desperate sort of person who would glom onto any woman in any online community(and take their defense in nearly any argument) in a desperate attempt at companionship. Now, it's just a term applied to anyone who defends a woman or women in any context online, because internet nerds are sad that it's not a boys club anymore

[–]throwAwayObama 5 points6 points ago

Yeah dude. On an off chance, If any of those women do feel violated, it's their problem, not some innocent guy trying to spread the fun.

[–]waspinator 7 points8 points ago

what's up with all these white knights in here. If tapping someone lightly is considered assault in America it's no wonder they have the worlds largest prison population.

[–]iaman00b 17 points18 points ago

Fun Law Fact: You do not have to physically touch someone, in most US states, for it to constitute assault. If you touch someone, that's assault and battery!

[–]boondockpimp 2 points3 points ago

It is textbook battery:

Touching the person of someone is defined as including not only contacts with the body, but also with anything closely connected with the body, such as clothing or an item carried in the person's hand. For example, a battery may be committed by intentionally knocking a hat off someone's head or knocking a glass out of some-one's hand.

Intent: Although the contact must be intended, there is no requirement that the defendant intend to harm or injure the victim.

Really it is just a matter of pressing charges. If any of them decided the contact was unwelcome, he'd be in trouble. If not, he'd be fine.

[–]Pendulum00 7 points8 points ago

Why is everyone so upset?It was a funny joke , not sexual assault.

[–]dxrebirth 1 point2 points ago

This was hardly sexual and nothing near an "assault". Wtf is wrong with you people, seriously.

And if you watch the video, you will see the woman seem to think it was quite funny as well.

[–]SlappaDaBass 10 points11 points ago

Because Reddit LOVES taking the extreme polar sides of any issue regardless of the opinion of the people involved with the incident. "OMG, that guy touched those girls' butts and I've never had that experience before... so that's obvious sexual assault even though the women laughed it off like the joke it was... he should get 5-10 years at least!"

[–]Aiken_Drumn 2 points3 points ago

What is this vehicle of booze and women, an where do I purchase a ride?!

[–]Harleynator 7 points8 points ago

You generally have to pedal them. They are common in Bend Oregon, and are a tourist trap

[–]Molestinyocookies 0 points1 point ago

This is in the Netherlands. You rent one of em with friends, and get drunk off your tits while you pedal.

[–]walkerrm 1 point2 points ago

I see these in Minneapolis all the time. They go so slow. I say if you're gonna booze, you better cruise.

[–]Rc591323 1 point2 points ago

I saw that bar bike riding past Summerfest this year

[–]arteu 0 points1 point ago

You can dislocate your shoulder doing this. Happened to my friend after giving a high-five to a pedestrian from a moving vehicle.

Dear assholes on reddit:

Women's bodies (or anyone's bodies) aren't public property. kthxbai

Congratulations you just ruined the day of a bunch of women trying to enjoy an afternoon.
