But let me guess how the reality turns out for her:
- She says something about it.
- The guy who is misbehaving is probably physically bigger than her. She may feel fearful of speaking up.
or
- She speaks up and gets called a "prude" or, ironically, a "slut". Maybe they'll blame it on her sweater being a little too form-fitting, or a little too low-cut.
Then, she follows your advice and posts what happened and the resulting action which results in even more criticism, death and rape threats than the course she actually took here.
If you have a young daughter, these are the kinds of issues she'll have to deal with some day. Might as well think about this now.
