Crosspost "Girls, stop touching me without asking! Consent goes both ways." from /r/TwoXChromosomes:

I like to go out dancing, sometimes to a gay club. In the last month, I’ve had to physically force women off of me several times.

Frankly, I expect better from us. No means no, it doesn’t matter what’s in your pants or your/my sexual orientation.

I understand I’m a single person at a dance club. I understand it’s a gay club and I’m a woman. I understand women aren’t generally accustomed to asking for enthusiastic consent from other women.

However none of those things qualify as consent for you to reach between my legs, try to kiss me, or hold my arms to try to keep me from moving away from you. If a man danced with me in that manner, I’d be grabbing the security guard without hesitation. I don’t want to do that, but i will if I have no choice.

TLDR I love to dance with women! Just ask first if you want to touch someone in an intimate manner!
