Would you not speak up and say "wtf?". Sure I worded it poorly and I should have posted like I posted after I got called out by Nyah. Yeah I guess you can say I was being insensitive. It's an internet message board, not a conference on sexual harassment. I still stand by the fact that none of what I said belittled the case by case occurrences of sexual harassment and I feel embarrassed as someone who attended and plans to keep attending, that #### like that actually happened. Actually I'm still a bit dumbfounded that it does and doesn't end in a serious beat down.

Just how observant and perceptive is the average inebriated person (of which there are many on the Red Mile) in a sea of humanity where the harassers are probably not advertising their ass grabbing? You might think you're on top of everything when you're drunk, but you're not. Even if a person is sober, it's impossible to catch everything that is happening.
