How do you go about warning other women of a guy that you know is a danger to women without getting yourself into trouble? Any tips would be appreciated.
Context: This guy does everything to appear like a feminist, polite guy and has a hobby that a lot of women are drawn towards and see as neutral ground to talk to him about. I never really talked to him much but have heard that there is a general brushing under the carpet (by men, surprise surprise) of what he's been getting up to--pressuring women into more, not taking no for an answer, following them to their cars, spreading nonsense about them, etc. Some guys have shut him out of invites but I don't think many women know why.
He's huge and I don't want to end up on the wrong side of him. My conscience won't allow me to keep from at least spreading the stories. I've stopped spending time around these people but I have a couple of friends who still go to these things and I've been warning them.
I tried this once. I was young and dumb. It backfired. I became the vilified one. I suspect that story is common. I would stay out it if it were me. The woman always pays. You could consider an anonymous method, alternatively... Or you can try veiled negs/jokes that plants seeds of awareness without directly saying shit. Then at least people can keep their eyes open but no one has to stoop to his level/drama.
Write an anonymous letter. Contact her family members if you are certain this dude is a piece of trash. Warn at least ppl closest to her.
Yes I need to know this too!
