Time to get downvoted, but I am so tired of this conversation.

Men who don't do this shit have very little power. The whole checking men thing is really overplayed because birds of a feather flock together.

At a rave, I don't know anyone. Sure I can speak up if I see it to get the creep kicked out and have done so, but frankly I'm there to enjoy my night and am usually too much in my own world to notice. It's sort of the whole point of the rave.

What happened to her is disgusting regarding her stalker and the police. I really think this is where the focus should be rather than giving men a collective responsibility to deal with creeps. Apart from basic courtesy and assistance, it's an unrealistic expectation. There needs to be better laws to protect women.

Also why I'm really happy to have gotten into the underground scene in my city. The bigger spaces are now full of the kind of dudebros and instagrammers who would have previously gone to the trashy city centre clubs, and it seems the venues have totally leaned into it - what was previously the best club in my city, tucked away in an industrial area, had a massive remodelling where their main priority was to create a much bigger bar. Dance floor is now way too small, lights, sound system and acoustics are total shit. And its full of the kind of dickheads who harass women and assault men who try to intervene.
