Isn’t it weird?

Isn’t it [i]weird[/i] how almost every woman has a story of an angry man calling her a whore for not wanting to talk to him and then trying to follow her home, while somehow almost no man has ever seen this or done anything to intervene?

Not biting....lol. That is just a comment that gives no room for a reply. You are baiting. And btw.... Honestly I have stepped up and told a couple guys in my time that they were being used mature with a response like that, but I am not getting into a fist fight when I don't know anything about two strangers and if they have history or if more was said etc. Not a psychic. And I certainly don't follow guys to see if they are following women.....if I did how would I be sure to follow the right guy...lol? Your statement make it impossible to give the answer you seek.

@MagicaloneANRABF You really, really want to find some fault in this, don’t you?

If you are someone who’s seen harassment and done something to intervene, then (1) good on you, (2) that in no way disproves anything I said, and (3) this post wasn’t really about you.

At no point here have I demanded that anyone “get into a fistfight” or demonstrate psychic powers. If you’d read the comments, you’ll see that, more than once, I have even said that something as simple as saying, “Dude, what the fuck” or letting security know would be doing something to intervene.

I also find it just a little curious that the only people to suggest violence here have: (1) been men, (2) been men who seem angry with [i]me[/i] for pointing out how relatively few men will even speak up when they see someone being harassed, and (3) been men going out of their way to justify letting harassment slide.

But anyway, if you’ve stepped up and said something, good on you. That means you were one of the people to both notice harassment and some something to stop it. That also means this post isn’t really about you.

@TiffAching wow....there is no good answer....you are on a crusade. I have LGBT in my family. Love them even more because I know not everyone is open minded and accepting. But they certainly do not have that big chip on their shoulder that you do. I think you just like confrontation. Bye.....have a good life

@MagicaloneANRABF “You sure do have a chip on your shoulder,” sneers the person desperately trying to start a fight.

You are also the only one here to mention LGBTQ folks, so I’m not sure why you think that’s relevant (hint: it isn’t, ya 🤡).
