I feel like one of these days it's going to happen to me and I'm not going to feel so generous as to let them off with yelling "Creep!" at them. Last time it happened to my sister, the guy did NOT realize that she was a kickboxing instructor.
I don't know any women who haven't been groped, assaulted or worse. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I can think of a few that I simply haven't talked to about it.
This isn't a blame the victim thing AT ALL. However, a few tips for not getting groped:
Don't hang out with drunk, immature men.
Try not to be left alone for even a few minutes with guys you don't know very well. If you do know them, and they suck, avoid them too.
Don't get very shitfaced without a sober friend to make sure you're able to say no to any guys you haven't already established consent with sober.
If groped, the heel of your hand makes a great hammer for hitting people in the face. Take self-defense courses regularly.
Good luck out there.
