Micro, meaning small, is not a measure of how harmful something is. The deadliest things on this planet are all MICRO organisms remember. Malaria parasites are a microorganism that kills more people every year than all other causes of death worldwide COMBINED.  HIV is an even more micro organism and it has killed many millions of people, we still can't vaccinate against it or cure it - at best we can treat it to keep it under control.  

Do not make the silly mistake of confusing size with severity.  And that's the category where micro-aggessions go - ultimately they are far MORE harmful than, I suppose you'd call them, macro aggressions like "groping"  - simply because they happen so much more often. Groping is bad, and most women will experience this form of sexual assault a few times in their lives. 
Micro-aggressions are worse because ALL women will experience them a few times every DAY of their lives.
