Dear Amy: I'm responding to the letter from "Upset Friend," whose drunken male friend grabbed her crotch.
You are feeding into the national ridiculousness of suing someone over every single infraction.
The grabbing of the women's crotch can be handled personally, without a lawyer. It seems you are becoming one of those who can't use their own power to settle things without resorting to a court to decide.
The woman has her own power and her own voice. Her crotch being grabbed isn't going to ruin her whole life. She can get over that and handle her friend herself. The courts are now being overloaded with such petty infractions because everybody is offended by something and you added to the ridiculousness of it.
I believe you did this woman wrong by taking away her power.
-- Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: Maybe you were too enraged to read my response to this question, where I encouraged "Upset" to start by communicating with the friend who did this.
Yes, legal action is an option, as I pointed out.
