I should clarify my partner wasn't being aggressive.
It was for my own safety.
I'd had a panic attack and tried to bolt into traffic, late at night, in the city.
Even then, I nearly decked him for it.
It was a trauma reflex.
Women deal with inappropriate touch from strangers all the time.
Men often touch women to move past them in crowded places.
It's not just our arms, but our waists, our backs, our hands, our hips, and our hair.
That whole culture needs to stop.
