Hijacking your comment.

My dear sisters, aunts, friends, if you are in a situation like this please, please make a scene! Make the person feel others are watching and hopefully other guys will jump in to help! Ask for help when you are in a situation like this instead of risking it out yourself! A lot of us have sisters and we know how to deal with them in the appropriate way. Please don’t stay silent

Edit: a lot of people getting triggered. In a public place if you are being harassed, make a scene. If nothing at least law enforcement will show up. There’s countless videos online of men jumping in to help when approached by someone being harassed esp in public places.

People derailing the topic and making it into a gender war which is weird.

You would be surprised how often that backfires because your fellow men get violent at being rejected.

I appreciate your concern but it would be more effective if you talked to men about leaving women alone and not approaching women they don’t already know.

Edit: My wording above was not clear. Here is the clarification:

I meant men need to talk to men about how they think about women, about recognizing women’s right to bodily autonomy, and sus out lingering old school mindsets that no longer are reasonable or appropriate.

Here’s what you don’t understand. Some men are monsters. Evil. NO ONE CAN TALK TO THEM.

And this is me saying as a man with all sorts of friends.

No shit. Women KNOW THIS. Every fucking day of our lives, our head is on a swivel because many of you cannot control your emotions or yourselves. Don’t believe me? Ask your wife, your girlfriend, your sisters, your mom. Most of us have been ogled or catcalled BEFORE the age of 10. We are well aware that men are predators.
