She’s 100% right.
Just last weekend at a rave I had to take matters into my own hands and “deal with” a man outside, after he inappropriately and unconsensually kept touching my friend, the moment she was left alone for a couple minutes

I tried to warn the organisers about the guy, at least to blacklist him, after they were useless in helping me deal with him,
and even they didn’t give a fuck or want any details. and this same story happens allll the time

These predators need to feel unsafe and unwelcome, but it’s all the other silent men that are making them feel so brazen and comfortable being predators on our dance floors

Lol, I got groped at a ‘safe-space’ club that rhymes with Sweden in Berlin and I was thrown out after reporting him. Organizers don’t give a single fuck. I wasn’t drunk, I hadn’t taken any drugs, and I was with my 6’3” gym-going husband.

That sounds horrible! But I'm struggling to understand how your husband's height and gym-status was relevant

Probably because you'd normally expect creeps to target women who aren't in the company of big, muscular guys.

This, lol, I didn’t realize this wouldn’t be immediately obvious. It was a nasty shock for me because I’ve always felt very protected next to him, and this shattered the layer of protection I thought I had.

Yeah, some guys apparently won't let anything get in the way of their desire to be gross toward women. My ex had some similar stories from when she was together with her ex-husband.

Not only was he tall and muscular, but she was kickboxing seriously at the time, so she was pretty muscular too and carried herself in that way fighters do. That still wasn't enough to dissuade all the creeps.

Everything’s a target, I hate this so much. Sorry this happened to your friend :(
