Daily Discussion Thread (September 12, 2019)

Saw the thread about sexual harresment of men and thought I might share too. It was approximately two years ago when I was 18 in the month of Ramazan. I got out from my college. It was about 12pm and the street in front of the college was mostly deserted. A suzuki pickup was parked very closely besides a wall near the college. I was walking to where I would get public transport and I get called by an elderly man standing with the pickup. He was wearing white Shalwar qameez and had white beard and hair. He asks me to help him in fixing his pickup. It was Ramazan and a very hot day, so I went straight away, so the old man doesn't have to suffer in the heat. I cross the road and ask him what he needs help with. He asks me to just push the break paddle of his pickup, so he could fix something in the rear tire. I agree. So now I'm standing outside the pickup with one leg inside the pickup. Kinda like [this]https://imgur.com/a/oFUf8Nr He first does something in near the rear wheel and then comes and start fixing something near the break pedal. Now he is standing outside the cabin of the pickup and bending in front of me. I try to move a little away to give him space but am stuck due to limited space because of the door. He now starts rubbing his butt on my crotch. I think it's an accident and try to move away but can't. But he does again and starts rubbing it fast. I got flustered. A guy passes on motorbike with kids and shakes his head and yells "Khuda ka khof karo. Ramazan ha" I realised at that moment that because the door hid my lower body, it just looked to other people like I was standing there with my leg up and an old man bent in front of me. Another old man passed by a loudly sai "Astaghfirullah" I completely realised the whole situation and quickly excused from the old man and took off from there. This whole event haunted me for many days. Sharing it with a cousin revealed that that man was a serial harraser and did that to many other students too.
