She was dressed just fine, it was the chair and the position they had her sitting in, up higher than the audience.
And she was dignified enough to realize it
I was at club once with my wife, my good friend and his girlfriend…and HER twin sister. Buddy on left. Wife and twins on HIS left, all dancing together. He and I were facing the stage.
Out of the corner of my eye, i notice someone is not dancing. I look over and a woman and her friend were being kind of harassed by these two dude bros wearing tank tops and on some sorta drug. They were in front of the not dancing girls and backing into them overtly; obviously making them uncomfortable.
I made eye contact with her and mouthed…”you ok?”
she shook her head no.
So i motioned left with my head and pointed to my wife and the twins.
The two girls squeeze through and the guys try to follow and i cut them off with my best white guy dancing. 🤷🏻♂️
it was super pact and they couldn’t casually dance or nudge their way over, so they stayed put. The ladies danced with my wife and friends. Me and my buddy continued holding hands.
(joke)
later…the wife asks me about the girl. she said she gushed about me saving the night and how fucking terrible those guys were being.
This shit happens to women so much…I’m not a white knight or whatever…but i was glad
to have helped in that moment. You could tell they really appreciated it.
Bro. 🤦🏻♂️ You’re completely missing the point. Women have their heads on a swivel in ways that men are not aware of. If you tune in for just a moment, there are women that sometimes need assistance… even if it’s just acknowledging they’re in trouble, and helping them in a way that is not confrontational and allows them the freedom of choice. Kind of a lot…but…CP recognized that she was in trouble because of the angle of the stage, her dress and the cameras who are looking for it.
By just standing in their way, he did so, so much. For her and for US men a as good example to follow. You don’t have to fight people to protect the vulnerable, and as strong and wonderful as all the women are, they always vulnerable in this society. Not a knock on women, just a knock on men…
“White knight” is, IMO, trying to fight people to defend women… which is toxic and makes things worse.
I’m not trying to fight anyone, and if you spend some time reading the comments, there are a bunch of women who have had similar experiences and were glad there was a reasonable dude nearby that was willing to help in a way that didn’t cause an huge scene.
The fact that you’re more focus on me than the people assaulting women is telling..
A White Knight is a guy that gets off on the praise for helping women in any way. It doesn't have to be a physical fight.
You're clearly someone that likes to feel good about "being there" for women in distress.
It's one thing to act on it when it does happen and do your civic/moral duty. It's something else entirely when you write out paragraphs on Reddit about a very brief encounter you had a night club and you add into your story how thankful the woman was you were there and how great she thought you were.
Either way, I think I just don't like you. You seemed a little too focused on yourself in the situation you described and are apparently a bit of an attention seeker
Thats weird to suggestIng that I’m “getting off” on praise, and that’s the whole point of what I did. This story is 7 years old and I’ve never told it.🤷🏻♂️
I guess i’m just dedicated to the edging! /s
1 in 5 women get sexual assaulted their lifetime.
and of those women…1 in 3 have it happen to them between the ages of 11-17.
Maybe focus on that and read all the stories women have posted in response to my story, where they explain how something similar happened to them and how they were thankful someone helped them
out without causing a huge scene.
Edit: wow… there are dozens of stories attached to my post for you look at.😔
