Can any females report if they have experienced this at the entrance to the "D" gates? How invasive is it?
When I call for a LEO due to the groping of my "private area", what is the likely outcome?
I am ABSOLUTELY not going to just follow quietly. The only time someone is allowed to touch me there is if they buy me dinner or if they are a medical doctor.
As a rape survivor this will simply be not acceptable! The back of the hand is already tramatic enough! If some wanna be cop tries to grab me, I will probably come unglued.
Needless to say, I am very nervous about this...
I have similar feelings. Having to travel in the US makes me feel panicked and sick for days before.
I wear two pairs of thickly padded bike shorts: one is my normal size, worn the normal way; the other is one size larger and I wear it back to front, so that my front side is protected as well. A pair of knee-length capri pants with a drawstring waist (tied as tight as I can) to protect against reaching from the top. Below-the-knee A-line skirt over that.
On top, I wear a molded-cup bra a size larger than me. A pair of foam pushup pads on the outer side, a pair of rubber pushup pads on the inner side, and a pair of silicone "enhancer" pads over the front/top. The molded-cup keeps things smooth on the outside. Tank top, not-too-tight shirt over that.
Hair down, no makeup, no jewelry except my ring. Nice laptop case and good purse in a cloth tote (just slip the laptop out). Basically as dumpy, middle-age and dull as possible. Nothing that suggests confident, powerful businesswoman - it just seems to bring out the worst in them.
Seems to help a little bit, YMMV. But it's still sad, especially when it keeps women (or men) who are recovering from having been sexually abused or assaulted from achieving their personal or professional potential. They have a particular right to expect their government to protect them, not harass them.
