A few nights ago, I went out to a pub with a new friend of mine, and we ended up meeting new people and joining their party, as you do. We made friends with a nice young woman, and I remember her making a brief point that this old man kept trying to buy her drinks all night and wouldn't leave her alone. This woman was there with another man, who was her friend, and had been for some years. Later on into the night, my friend and I noticed this woman being totally harrassed by the old man. He was pinning her against the wall, and kept trying to make out with her. You could see she was distressed, she kept trying to pull away but the old man wouldn't let her leave. This is when me and my friend turn to her guy friend, who had been with her all night. We said to him, "go and help your friend!! She's being harassed!!"

Do you know what he did? He turned, looked, shrugged and said "ehhh, she's fine." At this point I take matters into my own hands and shove the old man repeatedly while shouting "FUCK OFF!" until he finally did. I'm lucky I didn't get punched in the face. We asked her if she was all right, and she was not. She went home shortly after. Another woman's night ruined.

Ladies, we must have each other's backs. Do not trust your male friends to hold the same regard. Some may see you in a struggle and turn a blind eye.
