It could be the lack of details. (I'm not talking about the one man's shirt.) I would like to know what the exact speech was. (You can still leave out the swearing.) I fail to understand how a few rude words, though offensive could instill fear in people. In most cases people's words are worse than their actions. Also, had the situation escalated, I'm sure that it would not take an army of men to sort it out. A few angry women ought to do the trick. Most women can handle situations like that. The old woman may have been uneasy, maybe even scared, but she is from a generation where that was not so common. Younger women are, more than likely, unafraid of strong words. I am not condoning the actions of the young men, I just fail to see how a world in which, men can get harsher, would leave women frail or weak in that kind of situation. Put plainly, I think you're worrying too much. Women are stronger than that. It could be me, but your blog failed to instill a sense of unease in me. It could be the lack of details.
