I have been toying with posting about this for a while. I don't have a question as such, it is just an incident about a week ago that stuck in my mind and the couple of people I mentioned it to weren't very interested in discussing it.
I was in the town centre with dc's and dh to see the christmas lights etc and we walked past a man in a car picking up a prostitute outside of the train station (it was only about 7pm). The two girls looked to be just teenagers and the man in is 30's. He looked massive inside a small car so he was a big bloke. The conversation went along these lines:
one of the girls: If you want it, I'll give you it
man (in scary aggressive tone): well get in the car then. What, do you want me to get out the car?!
It is hard to convey how aggressive he sounded. I felt scared of him. I keep wondering if she was ok. I am not totally niave and have seen prostitutes before but I have never seen how they are viewed and treated by the men. This just totally depressed me. (DH didn't notice it happening.)
I also considered posting in AIBU (aibu to let this upset me?) but was worried I would get the piss taken out of me! Also, I didn't want a massive audience for some reason. Reading it back, it looks like nothing really.
I just wondered what people's comments would be really. Thanks.
