Robot hugs: Advice to men on street harassment.

11. I would not allow this in real life, happening to a real person

This is just a small group of friends on a forum (mostly men), and some of the guys do this...not meaning to upset anyone. I know in real life they don't do this to women in public. I chide them occasionally when they start posting too much of it, saying "hey guys, remember there are women in the room", but they don't do it to insult anyone. It's more like a room full of little boys giggling over a playboy mag, when there is no woman around to overhear them.

If they ever admitted behaving this way in a public place or alone with woman, I'd nail em.

I'm not a miss priss...I know guys alone with guys can be pretty crude at times. Now and then I post something to make them "think" about what they are doing. Don't know if it has any affect on them.
