Writer Maura Quint recently started a Twitter thread that went viral and the reason was surprising to many people.
Quint’s first tweet made it seem like it was headed down a dark, ugly path.
The man’s response surprised Quint, as he was obviously a decent human being.
Quint went on to recount a few other instances that could have turned ugly but, thankfully, did not.
And, sadly, Quint has been assaulted before. And she summed up the difference between the situations.
Other women, and some men, were moved by Quint’s true stories and weighed in with their own experiences.
There is no “gray area” when it comes to sexual harassment or sexual assault.
It’s nice to see a conversation go viral for the right reasons, where men behave like they are supposed to.
