In reply to the discussion: Weird episode of Sexual Harrassment in Walmart [View all]REP
(21,691 posts)63. Touching strangers of either gender is rude and creepy, and men touching women
they don't know is, in addition to what you said, also threatening (it can be to men as well - but for many men, the strength vs strength playing field is much more level than it is for many women).
As usual, I could not agree more with you if I tried: living in a small, poor socialization, whatever - nothing excuses an adult from acting rudely (at best) and assaulting another (at worst). No one should excuse that behavior or chide someone for not tolerating it.

He got the idea that he could do that because you didn't elbow him in the face.
