annoyed at men 

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with guys at clubs getting into my airspace. Like, okay, I get that it's crowded and yeah there's gonna be some amount of contact. But there's a pattern of specifically men carelessly pushing in while talking or dancing with a partner and I guess presuming that I'll move?

Last night one guy was pretty much pinning @acetone_kitten against the stage even after I went as far as verbally pointing out what he was doing.

I'm starting to try and make an effort to not automatically cede as much space when guys do that.

@starkatt Yeah, I've been subjected to this a lot. It's not bad when they're just slipping through, but when they're suddenly all up in your space it's aggravating. I think I know which guy you're talking about too. :-(

@emanate @starkatt There was a couple I noticed but yeah... I really hate that x.x

annoyed at men 

@starkatt yeah. I have cultivated some seriously sharp elbows when dancing. Also being so often the one sober person in a group I shoulder guys off my friends far too often.

@starkatt @acetone_kitten What an asshole. :/

I swear so many men feel so entitled -- to attention, to emotional energy, to getting their way in general.

@starkatt @acetone_kitten gross. I’m sorry that happened.
