I used to think this way, "hey it's not all men"! That was until my wife was roofied in a bar. Luckily I was there, just in the bathroom, and when I came out the coward bolted away, but it shattered all of my illusions about my own gender.
She put her drink down for less than 5 seconds, at her table, with other friends there. They were distracted for a split second while he put something in her drink. God knows what would have happened if I wasn't there.
Men, we all need to understand that it may be a few bad apples, but a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Women have to keep their guard up because one slip, 10 seconds of being distracted is all it takes. Before that incident I never thought about how guarded they have to be.. all the time. It's insane. Even that instance she was with corowrkers and her fiance was there! She hadn't talked to anyone else and still it happened to her! We never have to worry about things like that. Hell I'm pretty sure just this week I set my drink down and went to the bathroom, and still it didn't cross my mind to check.
Men bad because, yes, men are real fucking bad. There's people out there who literally do try this shit, and as a woman meeting people they don't know who you are or what you'll try. It is not as simple as "Why don't the trust us"? Because some of us slip roofies into drinks, that's why. Real men will see that and vow to punch those fucking cowards in the face, watch their female friend's drinks for them, and many other things.
There's a place a few towns over, it's like organized rape. The bar owner is in on it, bartenders and the bouncers. They all help drug women and help the rapists. Cops are called every week, they don't care and are possibly engaged in the same activity. It's been years. Known as a rape bar. I highly doubt this is the only one.
there are stories of this happening to men
sure it might have been by a man (victim didn’t know)
never got why people drink in bars with all the bad outcomes I’ve read about
Maybe you should go find out? Bars are where the real people are.
i’m old enough now to know better
look up statistics, drink at home
meet new people at a hobby or with food / coffee
young stupid people and alcohol is just a bad day away from shit outcomes
