Mirko, from the age of eight I was regularly grabbed, poked, felt and touched in all sorts of places by complete strangers: at the cinema, in the public library, in bookshops, travelling... all over the place. I must have looked pretty appetising to those bastards. It used to reduce me to a state of complete despondency: I wasn't 'strong' enough to fight back and those people know better than to act in full view of others, so nobody that was with me ever saw a thing. Then, gradually, as I grew up and became a woman (as opposed to a little girl), the perverts started to feel I wasn't so vulnerable that they could just touch me like that. It's not appealing to a pervert to touch someone they feel could fight back. Perhaps you seemed vulnerable to that woman. Forgive me for the rant: all this to say that whatever one's gender and age or experience, whatever we do, whatever we look like... well, nobody has the right to touch us out of the blue. Now, I was heavily into the London rave scene in the nineties, where strangers would come up to me out of the blue in clubs and hug me silly, telling me they loved me: that was different, it was very 'unsexual' (we were all on MDMA). Do you think that some women feel they've a right to display such sexual aggressivity?
