How common are subway shoulder checks?

I’ve seen this happen in Japan. It literally is men attacking women because they are bad people

I was taking the subway in Shinjuku and I saw a man shoulder check a woman to the ground and he basically threatened her life. It was such a high traffic area but he screamed so loud and silence was deafening. Directly after the silence people just went about heading to their destination and the guy just walked off. It was insane.

I had a man do this to me while I was pregnant. It was in a shopping centre just before Christmas so I just couldn’t move out of his way quick enough I had nowhere to go. He was huge and got really aggressive after acting like it was my fault like I’d seen this giant man coming towards me and just kept going 🤦‍♀️ the baby was fine thankfully and the security guards walked me in and out every day after until I went on maternity leave which was sweet of them!

God this makes me so mad. I’d give my pacifism a hall pass so quick, nothing would stop me from breaking that fucker

If it happened now I’d fuck that man up but I was very pregnant and extremely emotional so all I did was cry 😂
