Verbally abused/threatened

Aged 36 26th May 2023 I don’t think I’ve ever come face-to-face with such blatant misogyny as I did on this night. Not in my memory at least, although I’m sure there is plenty that I have buried.  I met a guy on a night out who was a long-term childhood friend of friend. He was...
