A Sad and Disturbing Bar Incident

While perusing www.feministing.com, I came across this article. To summarize it, a female was brutally beaten in a bathroom in a bar after refusing advances from a guy.

The results were a broken eye-socket, shattered jaw, and other injuries.

What implications does this have on society?

Well, unfortunately, this means that it is even more important for women to go to the bathroom in pairs. I say unfortunately because this should NOT have to happen. Women, as well as men, should feel safe wherever they go; we know, however, that this is not the case.

I can't even think what went through the mind of the guy who did this.

It's unfortunate that someone cannot take rejection. And just looking at the guy, I would have rejected him too!

  1. as you already said, its sad that this would even happen. i guess its just another reason for women, or anyone for that matter, to be afraid of strangers...and guys in bars

  2. It's ironic how women often get teased or hear comments about how they always go to the restroom with a friend...guess it is worthwhile after all! This is extremely sad that something like this can happen and even worse I'm sure most women would never think they would be the victim.
