You've apparently not talked to many women who use the CTA regularly. This stuff is all too common, actually.

My women friends have told me about seeing guys looking at porn on their phones before, eye f-ing them, and of course I had the experience with an ex girlfriend of her being filmed but they have never been groped or molested to my knowledge.

I wouldn't doubt if some people try and film it if it does happen though. I've seen this stuff advertised on porn sites before from Japan.

My woman friends talk about being rubbed up against, having their asses grabbed, incredibly nasty things said to them, etc. Not regularly, of course, but it seems any attractive young female who uses the CTA for any length of time has this happen at least once. I find it hard to believe that you weren't aware of this.

This post does make me question this mans intent. Was the train super packed like it normally is during rush hour? If so, are you positive there was deliberate action to rub against your hand? Do you think there is any chance it was accidental? Was it so forceful that it would provide him with any sort of pleasure?

I've had woman accidentally touch my groin region but I am pretty sure it was accidental. If it was actually deliberate then it was well played and would probably never hold up in a court of law as sexual harassment.

It was crowded train during rush hour. I'm sure it was on purpose because after he rubbed his dick, he came to me really closely even though the train became less crowded and touched my butt.

From my understanding this isn't a Chicago thing. I remember a story about a freak on the train in Boston filming up women's dresses.

So now he rubbed his own, then approached you? I thought he rubbed it against you? At least thats what I gathered from what you said before. I suppose if he is rubbing his dick while looking at you its super creepy and disgusting but I doubt the cops will look into it much. Unfortunately the same goes for the butt touching, which is obviously very inappropriate.

No, he rubbed his dick against my hands, approached me very closely and touched my butt.

Certainly, it's not only a Chicago thing by any stretch. If anything, it sounds like a bigger problem in cities like New York. In Japan it's such a big problem that there are women-only cars on trains.

Of course you don't hear about much, it's not a huge problem. I'm sure it happens but it's most definitely rare. I've lived here a long time and can only remember one woman tell me of something like this.
