When's the last time you darkened an AA door, John?
Young women often choose to go to bars with friends rather than alone for precisely this reason, do they not?
I went to a meeting twice in the last week, four times the previous week. The truth is that there are unsavory individuals in some of the rooms.
While I am not a woman, I was going to gay bars in my teens. I do have some knowledge of predatory older-male behavior. Given the option, they older guys will scope out and go for the young ones - fresh meat.
I saw similar behavior at the gay AA meetings.
Being forewarned is being forearmed.
