    I had to carry my friend home from the bar one night last year. She was on her second drink and was suddenly incapacitated. Pure coincidence that there was a guy pestering us most of the night when our partners were otherwise distracted.

    I’m so glad nothing happened to your friend.

      There’s a bar near where I live and they have an organized rape system. Bartenders, bouncers and owner in on it. Cops know, cops partake and women get raped every weekend. We warn people but you’re never going to get to everybody :( I’d like to hear more about how there’s no rape culture from guys who are the real victims though.

      Jesus. That’s scary, and I know because I was scared as fuck when she called me.

      Considering we didn’t go to the hospital because she said it’d be a long wait just to tell her what she already knows, I wonder how often this really happens. Everyone I know has a story.
