"Who threw away the new dress she wore because they harassed her while wearing it, even though none of them touched her."

I don't know, maybe this is me being patriarchal and infantilising, but I have a lot of sympathy for what Julie went though. And I can imagine, after being harassed like that, you'd second guess yourself every time you wore that particular dress.

Some people would probably argue that she should take her power back or not let those men control her actions, I can see that argument too, but I don't think she's being melodramatic by not wanting to wear it any more.

But yes, the bigger problem is what to do about behaviour like this. And the only answer I can think of is that more people need to take action themselves instead of complaining that somebody else isn't doing so.

If each one of us decided to "be the change," if it was a safe bet that people of *either* sex would speak up when somebody was out of line, I think anti social behaviour would plummet. But, of course, that's much harder and scarier than pointing fingers at somebody else.
