In the latest viral Facebook video, a young woman named Candice Spivey confronts a man who was asking inappropriate questions as she was shopping for a bikini at a Florida Target.

“Do you remember me in the grocery store?” she asks.

She recognized the guy as the same person who harassed her two years ago at another store and she was NOT gonna let him get away with it.

“No, hey, where are you going? Come back!” she yells.

She chased him out of the store and into the parking lot. He finally jumped into his truck and peeled out in such a rush the cops stopped him on a traffic violation.

I mention this because there’s been a LOT of social media action in another area of Target lately, that being the bathrooms. Videos by religious activists who’ve been protesting Target’s policy of letting people use the bathroom of the gender they identify with.

Here’s an inquiry from the activists: “Sometimes I get uncomfortable in the men’s room and want to make sure I’m allowed in the women’s room.”

They’re trying to make the point that perverts will start crashing the women’s bathrooms. But I notice that in these protest videos, the men never actually go into a bathroom with women in it. They talk to the manager and leave.

And I think I know why. Because Candice Spivey might be in there.

My advice to any man who looks like a man and is stupid enough to walk into an occupied women’s bathroom: wear a cup.
