saying "I just grab men by the balls to get them to do what I want."

Knowing Trump's projection, I'm surprised he hasn't claimed this already.

as hard as you can if he dares to lay a hand on you. Or take him down with a karate move, twist his arm behind his back, and tell him you'll pull his arm out of his socket if he moves.

That isn't assault. Or violent. It's called self-defense, and there are training classes to render him helpless and at your mercy.

She was walking behind me in a crowded hallway and briefly squeezed that area three times, between the legs from the rear. I was wearing blue jeans. She grinned each time that I looked around. I jogged through the crowd to put some distance between us after the third time.

Very odd way to introduce herself! She was a "stranger" that I had never talked to previously... or later for that matter.

If some big guy did it, that would've indeed been more worrisome!

She looked like a "hood" by the way she dressed.

The OP literally made me wince. I'm begging you to think before you randomly squeeze. We are not all like them. Thank you and have a nice day.

Part of what makes the act so odious is the extent to which the grabber is seen as attractive by the grabbee. In Trump's case, he targeted much younger, very attractive women. If an attractive young man were grabbed by a 60 year old obese woman with orange hair, would he find that enjoyable?

irrespective of the gender of the grabber or the grabbee.
