Sexual harassment is no joking matter. When instances of it happens, victims are often left with physical and mental trauma that lingers for years to come. Many instances of sexual harassment even go unreported, as the victims are afraid of being shamed!
While we commonly think that women are the targets of sexual harassment cases, there are also instances where men have fallen victim to such crimes. In a viral Tweet by user @_.iqmal, a video clip was uploaded that shows a large, heavyset man overpowering a smaller man as he pins him to a wall and begins to kiss him against his will.Ā Woah, what does he think he’s doing?

The smaller man, who appears to be a security guard, tries to repeatedly shove the other man away as he is kissed. But being far smaller, he could only manage to do so after a third attempt at pushing him off. Visibly distressed, he is later seen wiping tears away from his eyes as the larger man backs away.Ā
