Guy Left In Tears After Trying To Grope Woman, But Not Everyone Agrees She Has Right To Fight Back Like That
Ladies, too many of us have been there. We’re just having a drink at the bar, or dancing at the club, and some jerk comes over and starts putting his hands wherever he pleases. It just happened to Krystal Olsen, a bartender from New York who works in Arizona, but the way she handled it is something we all need to take notes on.
In the aftermath of the incident, the creep ended up arrested and, hilariously, crying on the ground. His impromptu phone camera mugshot has gone insanely viral on Twitter, with almost 80 thousand retweets and over 355 thousand likes. Though some negative reactions have rolled in from people who clearly don’t understand the meaning of sexual assault, Krystal has been overwhelmingly praised, and her experience is highly teachable.
It’s horrible and shameful that women in 2017 still live with the constant threat of sexual assault, but it’s a reality we don’t have to accept quietly. Learning to defend ourselves is an indispensable skill that can stop attackers in their tracks, and these 5 simple moves are a great place to start. Find out what Krystal did below, read the Internet’s reactions, then add yours at the end!
This NY woman bartending in Arizona had a rough Saturday night, and the result of it has gone viral
The overwhelming majority of the Twittersphere gave her a well-deserved standing ovation…
… But some people were a little unclear on the definition of sexual assault, and had other thoughts
With sexual assault still a top concern for women in 2017, self-defense is more necessary than ever
What do you think? Was she right to fight back, or did she go too far? Tell us in the comments!

Indeed! It is called "self defense".She has the right to defend her PRIVATE parts. She has also avoided the typical "misunderstanding" according to which speaking the word "no" is not enough to stop an unwanted behavior. No one would argue about her reaction had he tried to steal her wallet. She has the right to protect her body and preserve her well-being, she could do it by herself and I hope the moron sitting on the sidewalk has learned a lesson.
Load More Replies...Maybe it seems imbalanced but enough is enough. Even if she used a chokehold, she is doing it for all the other poor girls that have been groped by him. All the men thinking it is an extreme reaction - Well I wonder how they would react with another man groping his junk. I can tell you its a pretty horrific feeling.
Perfect comment.... for those guys who say its only a grope... WWYD if a guy grabbed your junk... just slap him and say don't touch me? bwahaha... yeah right.....

He will probably never do that again = she did right! I am so sick of people saying that we should just accept the fact that our asses/boobs are there for other people to grab. I was riding the metro on New Year's Eve. It was full of people. A guy tried to put his finger up my assh*le. No kidding. His f*cking finger up my assh*le. "Lucky for me" (and i HATE saying that) I was wearing pants so he didn't succeed. When I confronted him, he genuinely didn't understand what was wrong with his behaviour. He just stood there, smiling like an idiot, saying "it was just for fun". And I did nothing except yelling at him in front of everybody. The worst part is that when people asks me if I've ever been sexually assaulted, the first thing I say is "Never have been" because I genuinely forget that it happened, and that what happened is a serious offence.
If we call groping like it is -- and it IS -- sexual assault, then I have been sexually assaulted hundreds of times in my life. If women begin to answer that question honestly (instead of assuming that "sexual assault" only means forced penetration, which has its own word: rape), the statistics will begin to show it, which may lead to some real education for boys in school. Because groping can certainly lead to rape, as "locker room talk" leads to groping. It is a matter of teaching men respect while they are still boys. And women (and girls) should definitely be encouraged to fight back.

Load More Replies...I'm a barmaid and I've had men grab my a*s, look down my top wen I'm cleaning tables and making me purposely get the item on the lowest shelf soo I'll bend over! I've had inappropriate things sed to me and wen I've challenged these people I'm told I'm the one wit the problem cause it's jus banter or that it's what I brought on myself cause I was nice while serving them or smiled and laughed at them! Even tho its part of my job! It's sexual assault wen u put ur hands on someone without permission n it's not ur problem it's the person doing it! Everyone should respect others personal boundaries! I personally think this guy had what he deserved! Women r not playthings r a*****e men who believe they can get away everything! Good on her i say
Ok so there was a restaurant in Scotland where the waiters used to wear kilts. Women kept going there and lifting up the men's kilts to get a look at what lurked beneath because they believed that the men weren't wearing any underwear. The women claimed all the things you say men said to you and eventually the waiters uniforms were changed. So long as you agree that men aren't playthings either and that the waiters would have had the same right to violently retaliate against the women who had sexually assaulted them then you and I are on the same page. So do you agree?

I don't care who the parties involved are. You do NOT grab, fondle, rub or otherwise inappropriately touch another person without permission. If you do then you deserve whatever happens to you.
I guarantee if the roles were reversed ie he put her in a choke hold after she grabbed his a*s HE would be getting arrested !
