Upon reflecting I recognize now what the bad thing I said was.

To be clear, I’m just an idiot and don’t think carefully enough about what I’m saying or typing until it’s already out of my head.

I wasn’t trying to be discriminatory or exclusionary. I’m sorry everyone. I won’t bother you again.

Or lead us where we are already going with a hand on the small of our back.

Holy shit do NOT touch me like you know me and earned my affections, you absolute shitheel. Im capable of moving where I want when I want without help from a stranger.

Actually I’m now realizing that I’ve seen a few of those happen (I’ve seen the smiling one a lot actually), and have become somewhat desensitized, so they fall into a category of “upsetting but not surprising”.

I think the hand thing threw me for a bit of a loop because that’s some cartoon wolf shit

Sometimes I'm amazed how little inhibition loosening people need. Yeah alcohol loosens me up, but I still won't sing let alone touch someone without consent?

There are a lot of men who interpret any woman being neutral or kind to them as flirting.

Same as there are a lot of men who interpret a woman being neutral or disinterested as rude.

I mean, I guess, but I’ve been extremely embarrassingly drunk many times in the past, and I’ve never attempted to kiss a stranger (or any unwilling party, for that matter), on the hand or otherwise

If someone loses that much of their inhibitions while drinking then they probably shouldn’t drink

Yes. It would be bad enough if they just briefly touched me to grab my attention, but often they would keep their hand on my forearm while speaking to me.

Sorry I did not notice the community until right now, ill jot respond back after this to leave you this space. I was just trying to empathize with women by satirising how the type of man would view the sign that it was created for.

I guess you have a point. I'm more used to Asian cultures of expressing attention. That's why I mentioned the anime.
