Me and best friend are in our early thirties, we went out tonight, had a few drinks and met up with some younger guys that she knows through a mutual friend. One of them fancies her, but she doesn't fancy him, she likes one of the others. Her and the one she likes started flirting and at closing time we all got a taxi together as we could get dropped off one by one on the way to hers.
In the taxi, her and the bloke she likes started getting touchy feely and kissed briefly. The one who fancies her and his friend did not like this at all. They started making sly digs, which then progressed to calling her a slut, which I called them out on.
They then demanded the taxi stop to let them out and went nuts, they called her fat, disgusting, ugly, a dirty slut...i was shocked at it and didn't know what to say tbh... She stuck up for herself, and I tried to defend her and was told to "shut the fuck up woman".
This verbal tirade continued after we got out of the taxi, they followed us and called us names. They were early twenties. I guess what I'm asking is what triggered this and what kind of attitudes towards women must they have to act this way?
