We're so conditioned as women to not make a scene, to just accept bad behavior from men as par for the course, and this is what guys like that count on. It's what the DJ who groped Taylor Swift's ass during a photo op counted on. He found out the hard way that he'd picked the wrong young woman to do that to. We need more girls and women empowered to make a fuss, and draw attention to it, and not accept it quietly, with shame. As Giselle Pelicot notes - it's time to flip the script on shame - and place it where it belongs, on perpetrators and not on victims.
