I get on a train in the quite carriage and blokie appears to be having long conversation. Other passengers are sighing...

I ask him to continue the conversation in the vestibule. Immediately he starts calling me an f##king bitch.

I tell him he is rude and I dont care what he thinks. We do a slight squaring up. And repeat the same conversation a few times

Guard move him on. Other passengers thank me. Nice lady says I did the right thing and squeezes my shoulder.

What's wrong with male youth culture? He was so entitled. Poor young women.

I need to prepare for my meeting but will be back later.

I'm going to play devils advocate here, how do you know it wasn't an important convo? you don't really have the authority to tell a passenger to go somewhere else, unless you work on the train? you were quite rude weren't you?

I don't condone him him calling anyone a f*ng bitch but had I been in his shoes, I would have told you to mind your own buisness and its not your train basically. could you have asked him to be quiet instead?

your OP made you sound quite bossy and entitled tbh, and I wouldn't have taken kindly to being told to move , I think you were both equally rude.

Moon yes, thank you.

Two good i dont mean all young men. I mean the thing that means he called me a bitch. Id have prefered wanker. He did not like my repeated defiance. Me saying 'you are rude' offended him.

He was an arse. I never fail to be amazed at people's selfishness and attitude that rules just don't apply to them. Shame no-one else backed you up, but I'm glad the guard moved him on.

Are you ok?

Well done for standing up to him, But I'm not sure that one rude young man justifies the condemnation of "male youth culture".
