I mean, yes??

Bummer

And "a leg over" has nothing to do with getting on a bike.

I would hope that stories such as this would educate the less experienced boys here about real world problems that women face, but meh. Probably just be another skid mark on this site.

IT WAS ME

I asked for some fries with that shake.

British men are pigs. This would never happen in the USA unless someone is an intern. As for understanding what the British are saying, I know they wrote the language, but I need a translator to understand it:

I do know enough to never use the term fanny in Australia casually.

.

It also happens in the USA if they are near trump or a republican politician or an "evangelical Christian" reverend.

Pics?

A bum is a homeless person in America.

This is asinine.

If you say "sit on your bum" 100% of Americans will understand you.

Here’s a bum being grabbed.

this thread is pathetic. Join a college team and ask the girls- every single one will have a story about this sort of thing. Being followed, catcalled, touched, chased, assaulted. I know myself and many other male teammates who care about our female counterparts would love to witness a guy doing something like this so we could teach them a permanently debilitating lesson

pretty cut and dry stuff. not good at all. i don't think this is something that is very common though. the cat calling, etc.; who cares. I'm a guy and get it often enough from drive-bys.

Really. You're a guy, but you know how much it happens to women.. Great. Got a few questions for you since you know so much about what women experience. When a woman has period sex, does it help with her migraines? How did it feel when your bum was groped? Did you continue running the same route? What sort of protection do you sue on your runs?

it's not common. even this woman who has probably run something like 20,000 miles in her lifetime has said it was a first.

A person who subverts the seriousness of a physical assault by focusing on the fact that it is uncommon, regardless of whether it is indeed uncommon, should not be working with kids.

A person who would go as far as to say "who cares" with respect to male-on-female cat calls has no business working with kids.

One can only hope that a person like this expresses their opinions more publicly and gets removed from their position.

I would expect a person like this to defend how they're a good coach, how they care about their athletes, and how their opinions work to make their female athletes stronger somehow. I wouldn't believe them.

Well, in the UK, jogging ( as opposed to running) is very popular and particularly with women. Stand on any street corner for a few minutes and chances are a jogger will come along. However, I remember a time - 60 yrs ago - when NOBODY jogged and very few people ran. In the late 50s/early 60s I used to run hundreds of miles around the streets of my home town and NEVER ever saw another runner. Interestingly, I'm pretty sure I didn't attract any comments from the public in those days. But, when I started running again in the early 80s, I would get comments like " Come on Seb, you're winning!". And, I do recall a woman I knew giving up jogging because of comments about her bum size.

in the uk its perfectly acceptable to bum a fag.

re this case. i look forward to the police report. she could easily have got the number plate. that will be a good and responsible thing to do.

job jobbed me old fruit.

It's crazy that any male goes near a female these days, let alone coaches them.

What about the South African triathlete who had an attempt to saw his legs off while out on a run last year? Does that educate the less experienced girls here about the real world problems men face, or is it just another skidmark?

Well if you say so, then surely it must be so. That must mean your mom, sister, wife, daughter - none of them has ever been the subject of similar behavior. Even if they had, it doesn't sound like it's that big a deal from the way you describe it. I'm sure you'd advise your mom or wife to not make such a big deal out of it someone did this to her since it's not like it had happened to all the other women out that morning. The women in your life are lucky to have someone like you in their lives!

Someone once tried to touch my bum on a walk near the reservoir. I threw him into the reservoir and then I ran away.

Of course you did.
