Women put up with a lot of crap from guys. Obnoxious bros catcall women when they walk down the street, following them for blocks, wondering why they're not smiling. Odious creeps use their positions of power at work to take advantage of women, committing acts of sexual harassment and sexual assault. And oblivious dudes like me keep texting women repeatedly, despite not getting any response back. (You're just playing hard to get, right? Right? Right? I'll text you again tonight.)
Well, 2018 is a bad year to be a perv. (Sorry, pervs). Cameras are ubiquitous, so offensive behavior can get captured on video and uploaded to the Internet. Also, with the rise of #MeToo and #TimesUp, women aren't putting up with sexist shenanigans anymore. (Again, sorry, pervs). For example, if you think grabbing a lady's ass is a charming way to say hello, be warned: she might go WWE on your ass.
A Reddit user with the distinguished handle "sploogesock" posted a video recorded from a security camera at a restaurant. In the clip, a man in a red shirt gropes the server as he walks by. In the past, he might have gotten away it, but not this time. The server chases him down, grabs him by the collar and slams him into the garbage can. (And all while keeping her docket pad in hand!)
In the Reddit post, Mr. Sploogesock claimed to be the cousin of the server, and revealed the man was arrested in the restaurant later in front of his wife and two kids. (Although she might not be his wife for much longer!) Posted on the "Justice Served" subreddit, the thread went viral, earning 50,000 upvotes. The video was then picked up by The Chive, who posted it on their Facebook page, getting 450,000 views. Congrats, groping guy. You're famous.
In the comments, one Redditor joked, "She’s a server... of justice." Another person wondered, "Why do people think it's ok for them to touch someone like that? What if someone grabbed his wife like that?" One individual claimed to be an employee at the restaurant, writing "This literally happens ALL the time. We just put the cameras up so this was the first guy we've been able to prosecute."
Of course, women aren't surprised by this type of behavior. In the replies, several ladies shared stories about scummy guys copping a feel. In some cases, they were able to counter-act, getting in a quick elbow jab or punch. But in many cases, the groper got away, making this video cathartic. "This was extremely satisfying to watch," wrote one Redditor.
So, if you're a perv, you might want to hop in the DeLorean and time travel back to a more primitive era, without cameras or the Internet. Or you could just, like, stop groping women. Because one of them might lay the smack down.
