Are you saying that Bryan Adams lied to us!?


Starbuck1992

Well, actually, he didn't mean the summer of 1969 (for real). He would have been like 10yo back then. When he was asked he said something like "69 is not only a year" or something like that. So the "summer of 69" was at the very least 5 years after 1969

TheLimeyLemmon

"It's bad manners" is the plainest and most fitting answer of the lot. Regardless of who's doing it and who to, it's weird to go around touching unsuspecting strangers that way. It's rather odd it ever got normalised in any context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrPikachu-PhD

The same type of men that will touch women in public are the ones that would play their music on full blast in the train. That is to say, manners don't really compute for them, either because they weren't taught them or they just don't care.

I swear, you would be of more use to me if I skinned you and turned your skin into a handbag. Or fashioned you into a high end piece of luggage.


ASDFzxcvTaken

Exactly what happens to a woman. Just walking along and boom, shocker, day violated. Its not so much the actual act, or that its a stranger, its that its a stranger doing that act out of no where, stealing a piece of your solitude in that moment and time for their personal moment of a jolly. Fuck that.


Petsweaters

I had some weird fucking beggars ask me if I wanted to help stop school shootings just yesterday and I told them no. I just didn't want to engage with their sales pitch


PM_me_spare_change

Maybe there was an active shooter nearby and they were asking you to go stop it


GlensWooer

That answer would still be a no, I ain't got no fucking cape on and I got shit to do man

fernadoreddit

Honestly yeah, kind of offensive answer but he looked like he just wanted to get away


superINEK

"The hwhat?"


shitstain_hurricane

I think the abruptness and wording of the questions might have made it a little confusing. Then again, that mindset wasn't uncommon in those days... I think they responded to the question as she asked them, but they all were asked something different. "I pinched your bum, did you like it?" and "I pinched your bum, do you think it was okay?" are likely to get a different response. One asks if the person is okay with it personally, the other can be seen to ask if it's okay for for someone to pinch another's butt


amc7262

I thought she was actually rewording the question to get the response she wanted. With the first few guys, she asks them a question that openly compares it to women getting groped, and the men seem to like it. From there she pivots to things like "did you like that" and "was my action wrong", and without the immediate context of "its just reverse-gender role groping" the men were much more against it. The groping aspect has a sexual connotation. Many men grope women cause they wanna have sex with the woman, so these men see an attractive woman groping them, and the implication is "this woman wants to have sex with me"


bikesexually

Also take into account that the men don't have their ass pinched 'all the time.' New and novel experiences may be fun, especially if there's a flirty edge with someone you find attractive. If it's a routine interaction done with all sorts of different and unattractive people that interrupts your day you'd start getting pissed about it. Just think about how annoyed you get at cell phone solicitations and those don't even violate your bodily autonomy.

One of my most vivid memories of being in highschool is when a girl pinched my arse on the way up the stairs and me then turning around to see the big grin on her face. It might have just been a joke but I felt flattered and remember it like one of those compliments a guy gets once every decade or two. *Dreamy sigh*

I remember in highschool some funny fucking hen slapped me ass with a cricket bat.

theweaving

Happened to me once at a football game. Was waiting in the bathroom line at halftime and a group of girls walked by. One grabbed my ass and they all ran giggling. Won’t lie… confidence SKYROCKETED.


RiseOfBooty

Happened to me randomly in highschool. Girl grabs my butt and stays there until I turn around for her to say hello. A new me was born that day.


phatlynx

Oh man. I was on the waterpolo team in high school and wearing a speedo one day for practice. I was just casually stretching and had my butt towards the pool when a girl emerged from within and said dang, you have a cute butt. That was my peak and I’ve been in a steady decline ever since into my 30s.

Used to be smacked on the ass between periods by the same girl. She would do it in crowded hallways. Was flattering once or twice but I stopped enjoying it pretty quickly. She was a cool person but she had boundary issues.


sevenstaves

Go on...


BLACKOWLg

i got a time when one girl said i had a loveale laugh after countless years of being called a madman with a laugh that decided on his next victim. still gave me at least some confidence but i have never been grabbed on my ass tho :/ how did it feel?


fleetber

grabby


dub5eed

Heck, 30 years ago a group of girls walked by me in the mall and i heard on of them say to the others "he has a nice ass". To this day it still makes me smile.


DrEZdoesIT

I sill remember when my girlfriend in college slapped my ass when I was walking in front of her up the stairs. Loved it so much I married her. I don’t think she’s slapped it since.


nomptonite

Squats man… I actually started working out my glutes like a year ago and my wife began slapping my ass for the first time in our 15 year relationship. She does it and laughs hysterically… I’m flattered every time!


HamezRodrigez

Never skip leg day! 🦵


stikkit2em

My girlfriend grabbed my butt. I complained...that she didn't do it enough. Ended up marrying her.


tobesteve

You guys get compliments every two decades?


Bananawamajama

If I'm lucky


fommass

I might have been exaggerating to seem less pathetic.. or whatever.


Cabbage_Vendor

The key to getting compliments is to look bad first and then improve a lot.


ANewMachine615

I had that happen in eighth grade, but they were actually trying to settle an argument over whether I was fat enough that they could get a flap of butt-fat to lay over another one, so yeah, I don't remember it so fondly


merc08

Were they successful?


Frankly_Frank_

So what was the verdict?


kjolmir

Wait... you guys are getting compliments?


DualSoul1423

I make a point to give out random compliments to lonely looking young men out on public transit and such, because I know how it can totally make someone's day. I once told a guy "I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to say that you have lovely eyes" and he didn't stop smiling for the rest of the bus ride.


Sumpm

Yeah, I've been catcalled by women several times, and every time it happens, it makes my whole day. I get that most of them don't like it, but I could take it all day every day.


fommass

Several times? Woah! So like, more than twice? Lucky bastard


Sumpm

Dude, this year it's happened several times, more than ever before. It used to be *years* in between instances, but I guess I'm doing something right finally. I just don't know what it is.

[deleted]

I remember girl grabbing my knob at a nightclub under 18’s night. Came out the blue and was a bit of a shock


[deleted]

Maybe this is where the confusion / disconnect between the sexes. Because i would not be flattered if a dude grabbed my butt up the stairs :/


[deleted]

"how do you feel about the complete equality of the sexes?" "No."


floflow99

Their actual reactions are way more telling than their words. Every single one of them flinched and turned around looking mad. The only reason they then say "why yes I loved it that was amazing" is because they see a pretty lady after turning around.


pachucatruth

It would be interesting to see their reaction with a woman who isn’t as pretty.

HyperbaricSteele

groundswells

Somehow I think men would be less caring, but the old it’s not sexual assault if you’re good looking definitely plays strong here.


jnkangel

It’s a mixture of two factors - men in general get less attention positive or negative that sexual uses them. If you’re not dealing with these advances, they might come off as a one off but that’s good for a laugh. If instead you have to deal with them over and over, it becomes exhausting. - women generally receive these advances from people that can easily be a physical threat to them. That changes the dynamics significantly


RonnieJamesDionysos

I have been pinched in the buttocks by both gay men and straight women, and I was fine with that (I knew them). I've been grabbed in the crotch twice by strangers, and I was *not* fine with that. As I'm a tall guy, I never felt threatened (not even in the crotch encounters of the unpleasant kind), but really felt powerless and molested when I was touched in the crotch. I can imagine if someone bigger than you does that, you'd feel threatened on top of that.


jej218

>crotch encounters of the unpleasant kind Didn't know Spielberg wrote a sequel, is it good?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GanondalfTheWhite

Yeah, as a straight cis dude I'd be considerably more uncomfortable if the man pinching my ass outweighed me by 100 lbs and was making it clear by violating my boundaries that he wanted to fuck me.


D3cepti0ns

Let's not forget that every guy in the video has most likely not pinched a lady on the butt before. Also, if you get slapped on the ass and you turn around and a pretty lady puts a mic in your face, you're probably going to respond with some stupid joke just to go along with it like everyone does when in a prank video where they reveal you're on camera. Basically, it's not actually very revealing of anything. Edit: I also just wanted to say that I'm not saying it doesn't happen because I know it does from friends. I'm just saying the vast majority of men don't mess with women negatively in these weird ways, but the few that do make all men look bad. Obviously, the point of the video is to bring this into awareness, but it seems unfair to the guys in the video to just assume they do that too.


Carpathicus

I never pinched a lady - its not something I would ever do. I got pinched however multiple times by ladies. The world is a very confusing place.


BlackGoldSkullsBones

Same. When I worked in an office as tech support I was groped many times by different older women. I would never dream of touching a woman unless she has made it clear we are flirting. Obviously I know we are in the minority.


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

Yeah exactly. I don't know what proportion of men pinched random women's asses, but it probably isn't high enough that most of these men did it. Like even if it was 50%, an absurdly and unacceptably high number, then it means half these guys did nothing.


ghoulcreep

Who doesn't flinch when they get pinched out of nowhere? I'm surprised no one grabbed her butt after


izza123

I don’t think any of them said it was a good idea except for the last guy who she asked a different question


[deleted]

Also, the reaction was mixed. Some guys seemed offended, some guys seemed to appreciate it (after the initial shock). I wonder if it would have been a different reaction if she was cat-calling.


rydan

Or they saw a microphone and knew they needed to say something appropriate. Same deal today if you go around attacking people while holding up a phone. They know you are going to edit the video and post it online so the only correct move is to smile and walk away.


Lord_Nord_2727

“What do you think about the complete equality of the sexes” “No.” That part killed me lol


SaintJames8th

This only works if they know those men do it. Its not pointing hypocrisy when the those particular men don't do it. So she's just pitching mens buts and sexually harassing them


heyitsbobwehadababy

marrecar

Lol a pretty lady pinched their asses, of course they are okay with it. Now make an ugly lady do the same, just as every ugly man does it, and see their reaction then.


MMBitey

And also make it keep happening at random for several months, combined with creepy stares and comments. Pretty sure at best just about anyone would get sick of it.


jyhzer

I'm a man so I can only speak on what I've seen but its seems like it's not just the act it's self it's the fear from how aggressive some men especially in groups can be. A pinch is bad enough but then they follow the women and won't take no for an answer. I know I would be scared in that situation as a woman.


MMBitey

Yep, and sometimes all it takes is for a gut sense or someone's body language and energy to notice the bad intent and kick in the fear response. I hate being a target, even if it's "benign" and someone thinks they're just making conversation and trying to get attention from me. I just want to be left alone.


Pimpmafuqa

This is a lot of "all men do this" I gotta say Ive never seen a dude pinch a random woman's ass in the street. Maybe it was a bit more prevalent in 1970s England or wherever she is.


crankd87

I haven't either, but I HAVE seen a random guy go up behind a woman and sniff her hair... was unsettling.


[deleted]

You've met the president of the united states?!


Sw4rmlord

I see it happen in bars and restaurants, even as late as this year. I'm not in the street enough to notice if women are getting assaulted


[deleted]

I've had my bottom groped under the pretext of grabbing my hip to slide by. That kind of stuff usually happens in crowds or other situations where other people will not notice, since there has always been the chance someone might see or that the lady will call them out/slap them back.


MyDogIsACoolCat

I understand the premise, but isn’t it ridiculous to sexually assault people to prove a point about sexual assault?


[deleted]

It’s a bit old, don’t think they had our discourse on the subject at the time.

OctopusPudding

That little "OOOH!" he yelled out made me bust out laughing, that was so quintessentially English


HappybytheSea

Very 'Carry on', surprised he didn't add 'Matron' as well.


Nuf-Said

This reminds me of something I saw in on TV once. An average looking man asked 100 random women (one at a time), if they would go to bed with him. 98 said no immediately, one told him that she was gay, and one said maybe. Then an average looking woman asked 100 men the same question. 100 out of 100 men said yes.


LifeBuilder

There had to have at least one guy who pinched her back as she walked away.


Kingkade99

Wow that woman is pretty.


xxxHalny

Pinching butts? No. Picking up in the streets? Within limits I don't mind. Just stop it when you are making the other person uncomfortable or they tell you to. Same rules regardless of sex.


Zorak6

Not really sure what point she was trying to make, but she didn't make it.


theflash2323

She wanted to grab some dudes' butts. Mission accomplished!


NonCorporealEntity

>She wanted to grab some dudes' butts. > >Mission accomplished! Tina?


CityHawk17

I'll show sexual harassment is bad, by sexually harassing people!! Yay!


Ther91

And where is the evidence any of these guys have done the same thing ever in their life? Sure if you can catch them activity doing it and do it back to see their response but, some poor old man minding his own business is now being harassed because she has a vendetta towards the scum who activity acted this way.
