Anytime something like this happens, someone always brings up the, “what if the roles are reversed???” argument as if that somehow negates the fact that what actually happened was wrong. Let’s stop perpetuating the assumption that there wouldn’t be a negative reaction if a group of drunk women harassed a man in a car. The reaction might not be as large if the genders were reversed, and while that might not seem fair, it’s also not fair that women in general had to endure years of being harassed by groups of men with little to no consequences.
Believing in equality doesn’t mean being a “white knight” and providing protection because that’s not what this is about. Equality is believing that men should and can be held to the basic conduct of self-control which for many years has been lacking under the pretext of, “boys will be boys.”
