And then, upon forwarding Michael Kimmel's response above, I was pointed on to your post here by a colleague. <BR/><BR/>Reading about what your girlfriend, her friend, and children were subjected to at Arrowhead really brings these issues home. This disgusting behavior isn't "organized" around a single gate, instead it not only permeates the parking lots, but sections of the stands as well. <BR/><BR/>The fact that these events culture a protective "zone" for this kind of foul, degrading harrassment and assault against women strongly informs my repeated decisions to turn down opportunities to attend such sporting events. Similar to what Nicole described in a recent post, this unacceptable "group think" mentality is not only dehumanizing...but can be very intimidating and scary as well. I cannot even imagine having to experiencing something like this with children in tow. How would you even talk to them about this??<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559035632624982941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982709864383925231.post-49275913670250712632007-12-06T11:46:00.000-06:002007-12-06T11:46:00.000-06:00Thanks for the post Matt.
