How do men get away with this?

My friend's daughter is absolutely stunning (and a lovely modest girl). She's 18. She often gets told by strangers how beautiful she is.

That's all great, but she's recently started going clubbing and has come home upset because of the attention.

Most recently she was dancing and a guy came up behind her and was grinding on her from behind. He wouldn't leave her alone. Luckily her friends saw what was going on and stopped it!

I'm sure this happens to lots of other young women too!

She's (hopefully) off to uni in September and has been looking forward to this, but is now starting to feel unsafe as her parents won't be nearby to look out for her!

When will men realise that this simply isn't appropriate behaviour and that women should feel safe when they are out?

Some men are absolutely gross. My Dd had comments in the street by grown adults when she was 14, I hate that young women still have to deal with this, but my advice is don't be polite. Call it out every time, loudly and don't be afraid to highlight it to bar staff and others in the vicinity. I've taught my girls to make a loud fuss every time they're made to feel uncomfortable
