There's a new poster initiative hitting Dublin streets, aiming to prevent and reduce sexual harassment against women and girls. What are peoples views, on sexual harassment, is this behaviour still as prevalent on our city streets as the report would suggest. Are people frightened to walk around our capital streets, or do women feel generally safe? |

Ill give you a quick answer: yes it's still prevalent. I know at least one case recently where a guy was texting a girl at least twenty years his junior. When he was challenged on it his defense was "it was only a compliment" I saw the text in question and it was creepy and inappropriate. |

"Ffs it's Sunday and you open a can of worms!  
Worms come in cans? How do they breathe? Normally when I buy them they are in aerated tubs not cans "
I usually lift a few rocks and always find worms under there, along with other ‘suspicious’ invertebrates |

I'm presuming it was the content of texts and not age difference that has you outraged |

I'll tell you what's wrong. Anytime this girl made an effort to dress up, do her hair, makeup etc the texts would start. "Looking sexy today hun" etc. Her class group had a WhatsApp group to work on projects together etc before you ask why they even had each others numbers. These texts were unsolicited, and unwanted and highly inappropriate. It got to the point where the girl started to dress down so as to not attract unwanted attention.
I know you love being an edgy shitposter bananaman but for once can you not agree that behaviour like this isn't on?
I've gone into more detail on this thread than I wanted to but I felt I had to because you allegedly didn't seem to "get it"
But I'm sure you'll come back with an edgy shitpost as usual.... |

Content more than age. Though that was also a little bit much. Dude had a daughter close to this girls age and I'd say he wouldn't have liked it if a guy his age was texting her. |

Let's get this straight here now ok, your initial point was about how it was inappropriate because of the age difference. Now you're changing tack altogether and explaining a valid why reason it was indeed inappropriate. You misled everyone at the start, because unless you happen to be ageist, the problem here was the content of the texts and your reference to their ages was just an ugly smokescreen to try and give credibility to your own issues with the age gap |

No, but I expected you to twist it., It's what you do. I initially said twenty years her junior. Someone else wanted more specifics and I supplied that. I never said the age difference was inappropriate but in my opinion it's borderline. I myself would not be texting a 21 year old girl the stuff this guy was sending, especially if she made it clear that type of communication was unwarranted.
Read back on what I said. I said the content of the texts was creepy and inappropriate. If two consenting adults twenty years apart in age want to sext each other up then more power to them.
If a guy is actively preying on a young girl after being repeatedly told not to then it's not on.
Are you getting it yet? |

You're the one who's clearly not getting get...hou never mentioned anything in your earlier posts about 'being repeatedly told not to'. The fact that others above also sought clarify is evidence that your initial point was unclear at best so I'm not the only one by a long stretch. Frankly your continued reference to the age gap and now use of terms such as 'actively preying on a young girl' is very disturbing and bordering on slander. The woman was in her 20s as you've already said. It's language like that that can follow innocent men around for a lifetime |

No, I never mentioned that in the beginning, for specific reasons. I didn't want to go into a heap of detail about it because I wasn't involved but knew both parties. The girl confided in me. Told me what was happening. I didn't want to air her dirty laundry on a forum but seeing as you feel aggrieved at my experience I felt compelled to give more information.

I, like several others in the thread, merely questioned what was wrong with him texting her seeing as your initial point made it look like there was nothing wrong with it at all. You then to chose to go off on a tirade against me, calling me an 'edgy shitposter' which was highly uncalled for. I also note how you didn't feel the need to throw abuse at the 2 or 3 others in here who also question your initial post but seemed to reserve your bile for me. If you don't want to be asked further details about an incident, then don't post vague half baked details about it in the first place |

I left part of my initial post there in case you still think there was "nothing wrong with it at all"
The two or three others were happy with the context I provided. You weren't.
Calling you and edgy shitposter was a tad OTT. I apologise, but it's your usual M.O. so yeah... |
