A complete list of all the times I've experienced unwanted sexual attention as a male: [View all]

1. At six years of age, a girl in my 1st grade class chased me in the schoolyard and kissed me on the cheek.
2. At a New Year's Eve party, a female friend of my wife and me gave me a big sloppy smooch in my wife's presence.

That's all I can remember. My wife's list is much, much longer and much more shocking.
