WHAT? So the guy was going to BLOW YOU BOTH UP and your dad is STILL “well ,we don’t know...” ?????

I don’t which is more troubling.

Nice! This happened to me when I was 12, in line for an outdoor concert with my parents, who saw what was happening and just ignored it and, when I confronted them afterwards, said “well, what were we supposed to do?”. Because being rude to a stranger is unthinkable, even when he’s creeping on your 12 year old. Bloody…

Your father is an asshole who doesn’t deserve you as a daughter. I am so sorry your pig of an ex hurt you so badly and I am also just as sorry your father didn’t support you utterly. It hurts to read that so I can’t even imagine how much that hurt you on top of what your ex did. You’re the best. They suck.

I don’t want to give the manager shit here. I think what he likely meant was that he couldn’t do anything as the manager, as in kick the guy out or something. Given that running things is the manager’s responsibility, I’d wager he’s the one who called the copes.

I’m glad I’m not the only one tearing up- and I’m not even slightly ashamed. There’s something so wonderful and moving about knowing that there is always an army of women of all different shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, and walks of life who at any given moment are thinking, “We got you. We’re all here. You’re not…

I have to wonder what was going on in his head. Did he know he was caught when he saw the women watching him? Did he think he had gotten away with it until she refused to drink, several times, even at his prompting? Did he know when the “computer was down”?

Thank you, he regularly comes out with vile things and then claims that people are over-sensitive or looking for problems when challenged over it.

I think he meant he wanted there to be a way so the poor woman didn’t have to sit at the table with her friend who tried to drug her for the better part of an hour. The restaurant did review the tapes, call the cops, and stall them. I don’t think it’s a bad thing that the manager wished they could have done more.

Oh, honey. My heart breaks for you. I’m so afraid for my daughters because of these things I hear all the time - how do I teach them to be wary of men, without somehow making them cynical to the point of unhappiness? How do I tell them to openly trust the men they spend their time with - their friends, co-workers,…

She’s an actress. She knows how to camouflage a bruise. Also, that filter.

Then, in walks Santa Monica PD. They say “Come with us” and he doesn’t protest. Doesn’t ask why. Doesn’t seem surprised.

Her best friend. My heart broke. How many women has this happened to? Too many. Someone I considered a close friend, climbed into bed with me at a hotel party. I didn't think anything of it because everyone in our room was sleeping, including the other guy in the bed. My friend obviously thought I was passed out…

“Men seem clueless at the routine darkness that women have to deal with in their lives, primarily because we never have to deal with it ourselves.”

I’m glad she believed a stranger instead of thinking “that’s my best friend, he would never do that”.

I’m not crying. Nope.

I love when women watch out for other women

These women are awesome. And the restaurant handled that perfectly. How awesome that they were able to verify via camera. But I’m just so stunned that it would be the gal’s good friend. What a jerk. What are guys thinking this way? Who wants to have sex with sleeping girls? I just never understood rape drugs. Makes no…

I feel so bad for that woman who was almost drugged. That guy was her best friend. Holy hell. I hope he gets charged.

Women looking out for other women is such a powerful and reliable thing. Every woman who has ever saved the day for another woman gives me more hope and trust in humanity than anything else in the world.
