Young guy and two girls were kidding around. He said something about how profanity did not play well in public, or something like that. He wasn't being bossy or anything, just saying it wasn't cool to do it. I was refreshing.

Unless they are being trained the other way, most young people are not regressive. I see a lot of hope for the future from our young people.

Nice video. Good point when he asked, 'How's that been working for you?'

I was way too young to understand how to deal with full grown men screaming sexually charged epithets out of car windows. Or the entire crew on a construction site. It was horrible and traumatic. I started dressing in baggy men's clothing, hunching my shoulders and staring only at the ground most of the time I was in public to avoid being shamed like that for no reason. And yay, my daughter will get to deal with it in a year or two.

Kudos to these guys for stepping up and saying something.
