Many of you that believe these is an overreaction need to employ some empathy, you assume this is the first time this has ever happened to any before. The truth is minorities, women and youth face this kind of nonsense on a regular basis. It is only normal that a woman being heckled daily by men will eventually single one out for harassment when her boiling point is reached. Seems like an overreaction but isn't. If you avoid the heckling you're fine. This is no different.

Finally for you right wingers this is the equivalent of the "broken windows" theory applied by liberals to discrimination (ingeniously so). Like traditional crimes if you keep letting it happen it will be endemic and lead to more egregious acts, so you start policing discrimination aggressively and making examples out of simpler examples to rein it in. I'm not really a subscriber to the theory but I'm fairly certain many of you who truly believe in it only want it applied when it's convenient for you.
