I’ve noticed a lot of white girls/ women feel entitled to touch whatever/whoever they want. It is always a white girl rubbing my skin or touching my hair without permission and i was just wondering if this is a cultural thing or what?

as a white girl it’s definitely not a cultural thing, just entitlement

my boss (white older lady) basically almost touched my titty cause she "liked the embroidery of my dress"

I hate the hair thing. I always say “why are you touching me? Do I look like a fucking dog?” Does the trick every time.

As a white woman I don’t touch nobody, that just weird keep your hands to yourself.

i honestly don’t know because i’m a white girl myself and i was raised to NEVER put my hands on anyone without asking for permission first. i’m also hispanic tho, so😭 i always ask before anything because i know that i myself would not want to be randomly touched whatsoever without consent

I am white and I don’t know if this is just a universal experience but I have a lot of hair and have had people randomly fucking touch it. Probably not as often as you guys, but I can agree with the irritation there.

idk if it’s a cultural thing necessarily but i think a lot of woc have dealt with ppl touching our hair without asking so we tend to not do it. white girls prob have never had it happen to them so they don’t realize it can be uncomfy/weird

As a white, neurodivergent woman, I don’t get it either. My best guess is that it’s cultural. The other comment that hypothesizes that it’s because we don’t deal with getting touched and therefore haven’t learned…I really don’t think so. I get touched ALL THE TIME by white girls and women, especially family. White men do it a lot too. It makes my skin feel like it’s burning and even when I try to establish boundaries about touch, my family laughs and says I just need to get used to it.

the exception maybe would be like patting someone’s shoulder or head to show affection or comfort, i guess that’s a cultural thing for some ppl

you got touched and therefore you don’t do it. i assume the people who do the touching don’t get touched themselves. woc are more likely to get touched and therefore more likely to not do it.

that is my prediction at least because a lot of white women with curly hair don’t do it either i’ve noticed

Oh no, I see the same people who make me uncomfortable from their touching get touched all the time, and they don’t even seem to notice it a lot of the time. It’s truly fascinating to me

interesting 😭 a lot of people touch my hair and i’m not super bothered by it but because it’s happened to me i can recognize that other people might be bothered. i have no idea why those women specifically don’t understand boundaries then lol

Yeah, I really don’t get it. My guess is overall privilege now that I think more about it. The people I notice who touch more are oftentimes those who act more privileged/entitled
