I think if you even take just a moment of time and investigate it, even anecdotally, you'll see that wittynicknames assertions are true. Talk to any woman. I asked my wife, and she told me years ago in university some guy ran up to her and her friends and grabbed at them. It maybe isn't that each person is emotionally scarred by the event, but it's meaningful enough that it leaves a lasting impression to keep your guard up.
I would liken it to bullying it. It personally made me averse to the popular kids in school. I know that not all popular people are bullies, but the ones who tended to be bullies fell into that group.
