Skirtlifting

[jillianone46]

Hi,

My skirt got pulled up in high school, but it was not a big deal. I was able to protect my dignity. The guy that did it was stoned, but not an a*****.

When I read sandrdee's account, I knew that sucked. That poor woman. If my skirt ever got pulled up in public, I would die. My heart goes out to her.

I believe that guys are so selfish and so self centered that they don't even realize what the consequences of their behaviors are. These guys would think nothing of pulling up a women's skirt and would probably laugh at our humiliation!

I can't directly answer your question, but what happened to my date was really bad.

I was out with my friends and my ultimate girlfriend at that time. She was older than me and was a really classy lady. One of her friends (alcohol again) was so drunk that he couldn't even speak. He grabbed her skirt and pulled it up so badly that she was in shock. I can still remember the look on her face as she clutched at her underwear. This SOB thought it was funny!! I punched him and he left, but that poor woman was so embarrassed that she ran into the bathroom in tears.

I never spoke to that dude again!

I still can not understand why he did that. The only good news was that this women became my wife.

kangaroo2,

It sounds as if you need a bodyguard.

kangaroo2,

If the post is vacant, I will apply.
I can do it for £5 per hour.
Or do you want me to pay you more?

[kangaroo2]

Sheerwoodlondon,

The pay depends upon the services you want/need.

kangaroo2,

I thought I was offering you a service!

A guy here. Sandradee's story was educational to me. Somebody asked why anybody would humiliate a woman that way, and concluded that men must be beasts.

Well, maybe some of us are, but most of use aren't. Frankly, most of us don't even realize it would be humiliating; after all, women tennis players expose their knickers all the time, and it's no big deal. So why was Sandradee so embarrassed? I really want to know.

I've never done any skirt lifting (except in private, heh heh). Actually, I've never given a thought to this issue until the discussion came up here. Can some woman enlighten me?

Good question BewilderedMan!!!

I don't know if I can answer that, but I'll try.

I think most women believe that what is under their skirt is their own private and personal space, which is never intended to be seen in public. When someone lifts a woman's skirt, it is a direct assault on her dignity and her femininity.

I described in a previous post that someone pulled my skirt up to my waist at a wedding. Before that happened I didn't know how humiliating that could be. Sure, I knew it would be bad, but I never imagined just how really bad it is to have one's skirt lifted. When it happened, it was as if my heart stopped and I could feel all their eyes on me. I'm at a loss to effectively communicate the emotions of that moment. Sometimes I still feel vulnerable and uneasy when wearing a skirt.

Did I answer your question????

I think it depends on the individual. I know a woman who had this happen and she laughed it off and it was no big deal. To her it was a joke. I also know women who are embarrassed if the wind even slightly lifts her skirt. It is obvious that sandradee was very embarrassed when her skirt was lifted. I think this just shows the differences in women's perceptions. The one thing I see in sandradee's case is that this was totally unexpected and that it was in a very public place. Perhaps in a more private setting, she may not have been so severely embarrassed. I don't know. I can't speak for sandradee.
I can tell you that, if it happened to me, I would be very, very embarrassed. If someone exposed me like that, I would be angry too.

[Starshine]

I agree. There is a huge difference between having a skirt caught by a gust of wind (these things can happen and to be honest, I'm not particulalrly bothered on that one) and someone lifting your skirt up. The latter is akin to someone undressing you uninvited.

Any unwanted and deliberate touch of a woman or her clothing is wrong!

[jarkata]

I agree with Starshine and delaney. I would also like to point out that sandradee was most likely a victim of assault. I'm not a lawyer, but lifting her skirt like that was a hostile act. I know that it was her BF's cousin, but it is still assault.

[BewilderedMan]

Thanks everybody, I'm beginning to understand. So the sudden skirt lift was essentially an assault on Sandra? That makes sense. Her loutish cousin deserves to have his teeth knocked off.

kangaroo2,

I have had my skirt lifted, too. An angry woman pulled my skirt up in a bar I used to go to when I was younger. She thought I was trying to steal her boyfriend. (I kinda was). She lifted my skirt up while I was talking to him.
And, yes, it was by far the most embarrassing moment of my life.

Hi Kangaroo2. Tell us some of your skirt lifting experiences.
