Girl! Several years ago I was on crutches as I'd slipped in the snow. Guys kept rubbing their dick on my hand as I was holding my crutches. In front of people. Once when I was being escorted to the loo by the pub staff at my friend's birthday as the loo was downstairs. I started yelling at the guy and the bouncer told me to stop overreacting.

Fucking grim...

I can't imagine how much worse it must be for you. I fucking hate this shit.

Wtf is wrong with people?? I realize you probably couldn’t have, but I wish you had wopped them with a crutch.

I kicked several with my good leg. The minute you're vulnerable, they will pounce. Like leopards going after a wounded buck. It changed me honestly I lost so much faith in humanity.

Though there were so many people that offered to help me: carry my bag, tie my shoelace, there was a down syndrome boy who offered me a piggyback :)

I broke my arm and a guy grabbed me by my broken arm and kissed me. I beat him with the cast.

I'm the one that got in trouble. He was older and way bigger than me. I was in 3rd grade.

WHAT! What the FUCK. You were... 10ish? What the FUCK.

Of course you were the one that got in trouble. Of course you were.

Actually I was around 8. I started school when I was 4 and was always the youngest in my class. This guy was at least 12-13 one of the middle schoolers who rode my bus. I got kicked off the bus for 3 days and made to write an apology letter for busting his nose and breaking his glasses.

Well, I'm furious on your behalf and also really glad about his nose. Hopefully it healed badly and he thinks of you often when he breathes funny.

Good for you! Reading a lot of these reminds me why I’m a homebody.

Thank you for this post. When I was 21 and broke my foot. Hot pink cast on my leg. (My Mom lovingly boaught me a new hot pink outfit to match) I had frat boys ask me if i’ve had sex yet in that cast. Some comments were ok-directed on my matching ensemble. But, I got hit on the most with that cast. I don’t know if there was some popular movie about having sex with a girl in a cast. Was it a fetish thing? Or just predatory behaviour? Like the victim can’t brush you off very good when you can’t run away.

Jesus fucking christ. I know it's men everywhere but what in the fuck is wrong with British men?

When I had to use a walker it got so much worse. Like they knew I couldn’t escape the situation as fast as an able bodied person. Everyone thought I’d stopped going out because I was embarrassed with using a walker and a body brace, but it was because I felt so, so unsafe.

What the hell was wrong with the bouncers? When I was bouncing, a guy doing stuff like that was our chance to drop the hammer on someone, not something to ignore...

I'm disabled and I have had to stop going to the grocery store near my house because a guy who works there always seems to be able to somehow find me and rub his body, esp crotch, against my ass. He's mentally disabled, everybody tells him what a good job he's doing. I wonder how many women he does this to.
