Anybody have tips on how to deal with (unwanted) male attention? I'm tired of feeling like a piece of meat when I go out

I do this when I am at a cruising sauna I sometimes go to:

If people touch me there without consent or give me too much attention, I act a little psycho. Things like "If you like your fingers so much on my skin, can I keep them? No nerd for the rest" are quite common to hear.

Bonus points if you carry a pair of garden sheers with traces of red and brown nail polish on them that you can pull out!

The problem I have with that, is that threatening violence with an object is one of the grounds that someone can use to file a protective order and drag you into court.

I would be extremely careful doing that especially in a public place because if they get vindictive it becomes a huge legal hassle and they would have witnesses. In the USA you can't ask for a public defender because it's not a criminal case.

Just passing this along for safety information. Thank you for sharing what you did, I think it's cool that there are places like that to seek adventures.
