That's a really good point. The men who could call out this behavior are usually in exclusive circles from the bad actors.

As I think about it, I really haven't had many opportunities either. There's only one that really stands out to me, and it's when I was out with some friends drinking and we were getting some food to end the night. A stranger was moving to grope a friend of mine, and I shut that down quickly.

But that's it. This is actually a bit of a difficult question. How exactly do we chastise the bad actors? Maybe the best we can do is teach the next generation, and just call it out when we do see it.
