Response to Johanna's week 3 business post

Johanna,

That post was so personal it must have brought back so many emotions while you were writing it. Wow. First off it is never okay for a man to put his hands on a female and vice versa no matter what the situation or problem is. When reading your post I thought about gender intimidation. Right when your friend rejected this "idiot" he obviously had poor self-esteem and couldn't take no for an answer. So the only way for him to feel better about himself was to rip apart your friend. Which is just so horrible and so demeaning. I also understand that you feel hatred for those men and the cops that night it is only natural. However, it is not fair to hold that image of men an cops to what happened that night. Not everyone acts that way and it will probably just take some time to let that anger go.
