And for a lot of women, the necessary reaction is to protect ourselves from the perp in front of us. This summer I was confronted in my home by a neighborhood creeper with suspect intentions. Instinct kicked in and told me to keep the trespasser calm (when you're one-on-one against someone 5x more powerful, rousing his rage seems like a really bad idea).

To your point, once around other people I'll call the cops, if this massage assault ever happens to me
