The woman was paying for her ticket in a Stockholm underground station when an inebriated man in his 40’s came up behind her and groped her buttocks.
Footage from security cameras shows how the disgruntled woman responded by kneeing him in the groin, giving him a well-placed kick and punching him in the face.
“She kicked my ass, basically,” said the man, who can’t understand why he is the only one facing charges, to Metro.
Lisbeth Salander lives?
Also, Swedish lady, whoever you are, you are my hero.
Eh, I do not advocate violence and also, everyone’s reactions to instances of sexual assault are different so, it’s not that I would tell anyone to do this. However, with that said, I must confess I did beat the shit out of a groper once.
Picture this: crowded (and I mean REALLY crowded) train in the subtropical Buenos Aires summer. I am standing there, like a sardine packed in the train car when the guy behind me (slightly shorter and smaller than me) grabs my ass. Without thinking what I was doing, I turned around and started beating him. In the head. With quite some gusto, if I may add, while screaming at him “I’m going to teach you to grab someone’s ass”. I knocked the guy down (people politely moved away so that he could ungracefully fall on his ass). The guy ran away hiding his head in shame while everyone was laughing.
Now, this was many years ago, I was barely out of my teens and I don’t think I would do this again but yeah, I can fully understand the woman’s reaction.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
