A woman who was abused on the train for wearing a revealing dress was aided by an unassuming stranger this week.
Posting on Facebook a user named Tweet Scott Sparrow shared the story of a pensioner who abused a man for ‘slut shaming’ a women in public.
Scott was catching a train between Oxford Circus and Chancery Lane in London when he saw the argument unfold – and quickly uploaded the events to social media.
“Let me build the scene,” he wrote.
“To my right 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, 50’s suit and tie, eyeing revealing dress.
“Suit leans over to the revealing dress lady and says “Have some self-respect when you dress yourself.”
Scott wrote the young woman blushed but thankfully the older lady was ready to jump in.
“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.”
And the final punch: “Now f— off back to your bored wife!”
The man quickly left the train carriage while the young woman thanked the stranger for her support.
Scott’s post has gone viral, shared by more than 1000 times on Facebook.
