57. If you start cursing or getting aggressive, the guy could pull a gun, or get violent in response.

She knows nothing about how dangerous the guy might be.
Minor incidents can escalate quickly.

And in the workplace, the woman could lose her job.

I agree women should not act like victims, but they also need to protect themselves
and use common sense. Perhaps there is a safer way to respond to unwanted
sexual advances.

But the bottom line is that the patriarchal culture needs to change.
