39. I had a couple of close calls in college myself going to frat parties and having someone help me leave safely

Wed Jul 8, 2026, 12:54 PM

Yesterday

And I’ve saved some women from being raped when I was a young woman myself. One friend was being stocked by a guy and she was pretty drunk I got her away and drove her home even though it was out of my way. I’m still friends with her from 40 years ago!
