Ever been spoken to rudely on public transport? Or been made to feel bad about the way you are dressed with a cutting remark or leery stare? A story about a young woman who experienced slut-shaming on public transport has gone viral - after a fellow passenger stepped in to defend her.
Facebook user Scott Sparrow shared a story on the social networking site that he said gave him a "wonderful day" - and it quickly went viral, with thousands of shares.
On the tube between Oxford Circus and Chancery Lane, he witnessed the following. While we don't take too kindly to the way he describes the 'old lady' on the tube, the story itself is great.
He wrote: "To my right is sat a lady, 25-30, wearing a revealing dress. To my left is an old lady, almost dead is how old she is.
"Standing in front of us is a man, 50s, suit and tie, eyeing revealing dress.
Suit leans over to the revealing dress lady and says, 'Have some self respect when you dress yourself'.
"Revealing dress lady blushes to the colour of her almost-not-there dress."
"Old soon to be dead lady is having none of this and in a South London accent shouts out, 'She can wear or not wear whatever the f*** she likes, even if she was naked with a sign pointing to her f***y which said... PARTY CITY ALL INVITED... Then that would still be none of your bloody business.
"'Now f*** off back to your bored wife!'
Apparently the younger woman then hugged her fellow passenger.
Well said, sassy tube passenger, well said.
