Gentlemen, let's get real for a second. I assure you both in your life have at minimum unknowingly supported sexual harassment in your life or at some point will. So let's drop the knight in shining armor schtick and have a real conversation about a topic that is important.
Not once have I said its OK. But this is no different than a woman going to a bar where there are large crowds and knowing she looks hot and knows she's likely going to get hit on and is prepared to deal with it. She is educated by her peers and also protected. In most cases.
Is it right that she gets the unwanted attention? Some may argue that she put herself in that situation knowing that she would potentially be " harassed ".
The girl jumping on the car showing her "cans" is the girl who is adding fuel to the fire.
Now if she was aware that her actions put other women in a compromising and potentially dangerous situation, would she still chose to jump on said car?
That is a large part of the equation that people are ignoring.
There are large groups of horny young men with jot girls all over the place and many people both men and women are intoxicated in some fashion.
Let's not pretend the red mile is an innocent pg13 party where people are simply there to have a "good time". It is a out of control crowd that is partying and the police presence is there to simply show a presence and illusion of control.
But make no mistake, if you are going to the red mile, be prepared to protect yourself.
If you are a guy with a girl, and she is getting harassed be prepared to defend her.
If you are a group of girls going g down there, be prepared to be harassed.
Is it right? Absolutely not. But it is reality boys and girls. Let's not pretend it isn't the case and that the few villains should stop.
This is a problem with society and in one way or another, Willingly or not, we have all or will all support this kind of behavior. And in this case that is by simply being there.
Bottom line.
