Interesting question. I was saying that I have not reported the times I have been flashed at or groped but dealt with it myself. Should I have? Should we all report minor assaults? https://twitter.com/OlGingerBastard/status/956500407752241152 …

Hmm I'm not sure what type of minor assaults do you mean here.
-
A push, a shove, a grope, a light slap even. Things that are unwelcome, unpleasant and quite possibly intimidating but don't cause injury and which you can get away from. Would you report a man who pushed you? A woman who groped you? A man who groped you? A woman who slapped you?
-
Well the complication is that I believe female groper or flasher would be less likely to be a repeat offender who does this sort of thing habitually and less likely to commit worse actions.
-
Well women sexually assaulting men in a minor or major way is so much rarer than the vice versa, and especially in Pakistan.
-
I expect so, yes. Here it's usually drunk women who think it's funny or that men will like it. Often men do like it but this should not be assumed. I expect this is very different to Pakistan.
-
Yup, we don't have bars, clubs or hen dos.
-
Btw agree with this: 'we should not be insisting that women can't make the same decision', just personally I'd be more concerned about a drunk guy groping a woman than the other way round.
