Serious question. I've traveled rather extensively and this seems to be a much more serious problem outside the US as opposed to within the US. Does anyone have any insight into this? Is this purely anecdotal on my part?

When you say outside the US, do you definitely not mean "outside affluent western society"? Or do you find it more common in London, Vienna, Sydney, etc?

Southern Europe (Italy and Spain specifically) it seems to be more of an issue than London or say Hamburg.

Of course getting groped on public transit is a bigger problem outside the US. People don't ride public transit in the US.
