    Not debate bro’ing but Brock Turner was video taped wasn’t he? The rampant toxic misogynistic culture doesn’t really seem to care about being filmed and law enforcement and the judicial system don’t either.

      I’d rather there be some way of at least presenting wrongdoing whether or not it’s actually punished after it happens.

      Saying “it wasn’t punished therefore stop trying” is a head-first dive into the is/ought realm of bad ideas.

        I’m not saying to stop trying, moreso that the effort needs to be directed at a more productive area like security in these venues. My city scene has plenty of stories of security not caring at all when women complain about bad actors before things have escalated further

        The sea of phones at concerts sucks, not to mention people filming and making fun of strangers having a good, weird time. Again, this isn’t saying these issues are more important than assaults, but that phone control policies only seem to impact one end of the spectrum.
