Perverts on the train!

Question - (14 August 2009) 10 Answers - (Newest, 18 August 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi Im 15 and everyday i go on this one crowded train to go to a main public place that me and my friends like to hang out. i am always on the train alone (because none of my friends live near me).

One day i was wearing a skirt(it was a mini skirt but it was short) and i felt someones hand touch the back on my leg but i ignored it because i thought it was just an accident. but then the hand went more up my leg and grabed my butt so i turned around and i could figure who it was. so i asked a lady beside me if she saw anyone and she said no. so the next day i wore pants and the same thing happen. i started freaking out because the person kept putting their hands in my panties! i tried riding at different times but there were alot of buissness men i guess coming home from work! i even went to a officer and they just said that they will keep their eyes open for any creepers! what should i do?? I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE! (and not going is not a possibility)

birdynumnums agony auntAlways board the train with a large, scalding hot coffee. Having a hand up my skirt would be the perfect excuse to accidently drop it. Accidently. On purpose. You KNOW that he is taking advantage of the fact that you are young and he assumes that you will be too embarrassed to act out or scream, but you would surely drop a coffee, because you are young, innocent and would be startled by his perverted acts.

(Another going to hell moment for me...)

dont think you have to ditch the mini skirt if you like them.just yell out 'who is this bastard touching me' and then when you work out who it is call the cops.or smacking him in the kisser is even better...

next time you feel a hand on your bum, FART!

or grab the hand and sit down. Then when the person leans forward with your weight, snap a picture of him with your phone and tell him that youll do your best to make sure everyone see's who the pervert is all over the internet.

id personally just sow a few razor blades on the back of some panties, put them on over my actual panties and watch the blood flow. but i personaly wouldnt recommend that to anyone else.

A reader, anonymous, writes (14 August 2009):

Wear a burqa and veil, that should work. Or look mean, moody and not somebody to be f***ed around with lightly. A stiletto-heeled switchblade hidden in a rose. Think Patricia Arquette in 'True Romance'. Or Eliza Dushku.

But seriously, a screechingly loud 'HOW F***ING DARE YOU FEEL ME UP YOU SICK DISGUSTING OLD PERV, DO YOU HONESTLY THINK I'D TOUCH A FAT AGEING F*** LIKE YOU IF YOU WERE THE LAST MAN ON EARTH' will likely have the effect of causing your assailant to think twice about ever doing it to anyone else again, irrespective of whether his mates are there or not.

And don't for one minute feel pressured into not wearing mini skirts, if you like them.

Q my dear, why did you stop pushing the envelope?

next time it happens make a fuss as was suggested below, that is bound to stop the person responsible. maybe grab the hand quickly and hold it in the air saying "does this hand belong to anyone as i just found it on my ass?"

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (14 August 2009):

They have this problem in Japan so they have "female only carriages" there now.

Keep reporting it, keep letting them know it's a problem, and eventually something might change.

But for now, try to avoid crowded coaches, try and stand with your back to a wall or with as many women as possible. Also, if you have a bag, make sure you hold that behind you to block their way, and when it happens, MAKE A FUSS! These pervs only get away with it because we girls are so embarrassed that we say silent. Saying "Urgh! Some pervert is feeling me up!" loudly to the person next to you will get everyone looking round and he won't dare do it again.

Good Luck!! xx

The Gentle Man agony auntStop wearing provocitive clothing.

Ditch the mini skirt and see how things go.

I don't agree with thats going on, it is wrong that anyone is taking advantage of you.

Plus, mini skirts are trashy if you dont mind my saying so, nothing spells "im easy" like a mini skirt.
