The said "assholes" in this article are really getting the last laugh here. Likely they were drunk and trying to draw attention to themselves, through explicit behavior, and the writer gave into that. I am particularly put off at the way the writer makes descriptions of the males appearances; "HUGE and carrying beer" or "looking like a scrappy tough dude, with neck tattoos and full sleeves" eluding that tattoos or big men are scary and make people uncomfortable. His actions were wrong, but what difference does his appearance make? Afterwards the writer mentions how he insulted her appearance....hmm, I'll say no more. I'd like to also comment on the statement about men who "have no awareness of the power they have to make women feel unsafe and uncomfortable"; Well, I am a woman and I don't give any man or woman the power to make me feel that way, because for myself, if anyone intimidates me, I have given them this power. In those cases I've allowed them to make me feel insecure. So to the writer: Thank you for writing this article and letting them have the power by being a bit of an ass hole yourself.
