Some of these women do not look even remotely off put or surprised by someone coming up from behind them and touching them...

All of them were with other people and may have had measured reactions based on their friend’s reactions. If all her friends were grinning it would have been a clue not to be too weirded out.

They all literally froze. That's one of the valid reactions to a threat: Fight, Flight, or Freeze.

There's also Fawn now too, which is trying to please the attacker to avoid getting hurt.

I noticed, too. I wondered if LOT'S of people simply have been conditioned and bullied to hide fear and physical reaction for personal mental/physical/social safety. What a terrible cognitive dissonance to live with, constantly. For everyone.

Can't judge people with how they react in public to a situation where they aren't in control from others.

Easy to say in your mind and on the internet as to how you would react, armchair QB. But, when you SPECIFICALLY are targeted in a group situation, surrounded by peers/friends/family/coworkers, there's a huge amount of pressure to maintain and play. It sucks a fuck.

Then you replay your personal reaction and response after the fact, indefinitely. And then REDDIT and the internet remind you forever - if you're unlucky to have your fear response endlessly replayed.

Also, garbage comments in this entire thread for people not understanding what assault and/or humiliation feels like when everyone in front of you is making direct eye contact with you and they are laughing and smiling.
