An elderly guy groped a lady on Reddit after she handed him her seat in the Delhi Metro, the woman revealed. She said that the experience had damaged her.
In a Reddit post, a 22-year-old lady claimed that an older woman in Delhi Metro had felt her up. She claimed that as soon as she rose and extended her seat to the man, he groped her behind and hurriedly walked away to another compartment. Many have spoken up about having had similar circumstances while riding the metro in the nation’s capital after reading the article, which has infuriated many.
“Scared and disgusted. In the metro, on the yellow line heading towards Vishwavidyalaya, an elderly man just touched up my ass! The funniest thing is that, even though he appeared quite elderly, I was really offering him my seat to sit on as my station was pulling up. When I started to approach the subway entrance, he GRAZED his palm across my ass, the lady stated. He sort of remained for a long staring at that unoccupied seat, and I instantly sensed something strange. She went on to describe how the experience had terrified and damaged her.
“As a 22-year-old female post-graduate student, I have reluctantly grown accustomed to men gazing at me and my appearance, but this truly made me fear for my safety in the metro for the first time,” she concluded in her article.
The post got around 400 upvotes after it was shared. Some offered their terrifying tales, while others expressed sympathy for the woman.
What comments were made on this sexual harassment post by Reddit users?
Since I’ve started using various social media platforms, particularly Reddit, I’ve discovered that middle-aged and elderly individuals frequently harass and molest girls of all ages in public settings. I’m beginning to feel humiliated and repulsed by such inhumane behavior. I would have told you that you can always talk to me about anything and that you may vent or scream about anything at all, but it would have come off as me attempting to take advantage of someone else again because of these creeps and perverts. Have a pleasant day and please be careful, a Reddit member remarked.
Another said, “When I was in high school, a group of four males held me against the wall and felt up. If one of my friends hadn’t stepped in, it could have been much worse. Although they were the target of appropriate action, experiences such as those never truly go away. I was so surprised and out of breath from the trauma I experienced that day that I was unable to even defend myself. I can only imagine the suffering that victims of rape must endure. Similar issues have also arisen for me when riding the subway. I suppose what I’m trying to convey is that, unlike males, women can never truly feel at ease outside; instead, we must recognize that the world is not a secure place for them and take the necessary precautions. I didn’t let go of my annoyance over the high school incident for a few years. Even when unknown males raise no warning signals, I’m still afraid of them since that sh** damaged me so badly. It’s better to be safe than sorry, even if I realize that not all men are like that.
A third said, “This is a male place. Young lads from 18 to 30 are not even spared by these older men. When I was eighteen, I seem to recall experiencing something similar. I was really afraid.
