First of all, will someone please tell me about gender violence
and how it ties into sexuality violence?
I want to hear about how these are and are not related,
because I find a line between them so easily,
yet I know the majority does not.
Please help me learn, folks.
A person grabbed my breast twice without my consent and said that it was okay for him to do so because he was gay. I might understand where he was coming from; he may have meant that he felt comfortable with touching my body because his intentions were not to have sex with me. However, when it comes to touching my body, I do not care what your gender and sexuality are. My breasts are my wonderful breasts, and people may not touch them based on their sexuality. If someone wants to touch, they need to ask to touch. Breasts certainly are beautiful and fun to touch! But the two round, tender and- in some places and certain situations- hard parts are a woman's own. People can enjoy them together, enthusiastically, if they do so with consent in mind. It is not okay to grab any part of a person's body without asking them first, irregardless of gender or sexuality. In fact, you may be surprised just what your partner(s) will do with their body, and allow you to do with their body, if you respect and honor their decision to consent or not to consent.
Just sayin'... ;)
