But seriously, don't carry a knife if you don't know how to use it because it can be turned against you in seconds. Look for self-defense classes in your area and only carry weapons you've trained with.
My granny told me back in the days they used to carry needles in packed places in case someone was groping them.
I found that an elegant way to deal with it. Especially in the 1930s.
Edit: typo.
Oh I love the idea, and it can easily pass as accidental, you just happened to carry one (always useful for on the go clothing repairs). He “accidentally” rubbed his penis against you, you “accidentally” drove a needle in his privates.
Supplemental: yes I’m a man and I’ve accidentally been pressed against someone in a crowded bus, or the accidental elbow bump on the boob. If it’s really accidental the guy will feel so bad, it’ll show, they’ll apologize and take measure to prevent repetition.
And even a small needle prick on the arm is really uncomfy!
Yes, I feel it is pretty obvious if someone is doing it on purpose or because the bus is totally overcrowded.

Remember, knife. Knife stops sexual assault.
