I worry that posts like this one perpetuate unhealthy masculine expectations. LouCypher should feel okay to complain about it.
My opinion is if he is bothered by such an incident, he should feel okay to talk about it free of judgement... I also think it's okay to warn the community about it due to a concern that nothing would be done about it by police. After all, there are people that distrust law enforcement or their effectiveness and they could have legitimate, experiential reasons for this.
I posted one other time in this thread and that was because it was unclear to me if vigilantism was Lou's motivation. That's where I think it's not okay... But I don't think that's the motivation, either.
