But I respect your decision to take your personal story out. I'm sorry you had a bad experience- I did, too. Kudos to us for being strong women and getting through it.
I can only classify what I experienced to be sexual assault (physical not verbal), so it isn't comparable to rape, IMO. It wasn't all that traumatic for me but it was unsolicited and it was refused and that wasn't enough to stop it.
I personally think that most women have experienced similar things. At least once. Most I know have experienced it multiple times.
Do men get sexually assaulted often? Do people grab your butts when unsolicited and continue when you tell them to stop?
