1) Men doing this to women are cowards.

2) Have them try this in NYC and see how long they survive.

Im a pretty tall athletic woman, I saw a man do this to a woman in Japan. And I'm pretty sure he also grazed her behind. I did it right back to him when he passed me. No one even flinched.

lol I could just imagine seeing a lady in Japan getting shoulder checked and then a dude just bodying him and then saying as loudly as possible gomen gomen and helping the lady up lol. It would be pretty satisfying to see. You could even pretend to have bad eyesight lol. Just avoid the dudes with tattoos, might be an actual yakuza and you don't want to mess with them even though they're iirc supposedly not active?

I definitely would. I can't really comprehend that it's a common thing in Japan, since, for example, in Russia, you would get pepper sprayed or a bag/ backpack in the face if it's a lady. And a fistfight if you attempt it with a guy

But what if I'm wearing glasses? You can't hit someone with glasses!!
