A Starbucks barista’s secret note on a cup to a young female customer offering to “intervene” after a man started talking to her has generated heated debate online.
Texas woman Brandy Selim Roberson first shared the story in a viral Facebook post last year.
She praised the employee for stepping in when her 18-year-old daughter was approached by a man she didn’t know while studying by herself at a Corpus Christi location.
The message on the cup read, “Are you okay? Do you want us to intervene? If you do, take the lid off the cup.”
SNIP
Author Rachel Wilson wrote, “Feminism has created mass hysteria that men are nothing but violent assault machines, and that the only thing stopping them from enslaving the entire female sex is feminist activism and laws. It’s insanity and it must stop. Women’s studies departments should be shut down.”

Men hit on women… no not all women want to be hit on, but hardly is that an assault of some sort.
Women offering other women an “out” when someone is bothering them is pretty much just looking out for each other.
Think way too much being made out of this
I think it was smart of the employee. Most likely, everything would’ve been OK, but you just never know...
Big Brother and 1984 is a creation of the female, the more they spread out from the home in mass numbers since the 1960s, the more Orwellian life becomes.
The barista acted properly. He/she was looking out for her.
We do need more of that. Give this barista a promotion!
Been a long time since I heard anything in the “feel good” category related to Starbucks....
If women find you unattractive you are creepy, but if they find you attractive the rules change in a hurry....
The average guy often has no clue where he falls on that spectrum since he has not given it much thought.
One takes what one can get. There are few elegant, non-vulgar, non-tattooed, well-spoken, traditional, gentle-women out there. They are almost an extinct species.
So young guys settle for women who at least don't hate men.
So the reverse is okay then?
Three thoughts:
1) It was probably nice for the barista to check in and see if help was desired.
2) Women should not strut around and act all “empowered” if they can’t handle a man approaching them in a coffee shop.
3) Women should not strut around and act all “empowered” if they depend on strangers to intervene and rescue them from awkward situations.
Feminism has convinced many women that they are powerful. What I see are a lot of weak, fragile neurotics who can’t function in perfectly normal situations.
I didn’t say that. I said men and women are different. However, you seem to be defending aggressive behavior by a strange man toward a girl. Why is that?
Disagree.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with striking up a conversation with someone.
Bastards!
Yes there is. If you don’t know them and they are obviously studying it is flat out creepy
She looked up and saw a row of simps hoping to white knight into her pants…lol
If we don’t approach people we don’t know... We never meet anyone, no one falls in love, and the species dies out...
Hard to know what to do unless you are there.
I was at a hotel in CA when an pretty hot woman and a sleezy guy entered hotel.
In my mind its said 90% chance client and worker.
Entered my room and 15 min later the two were in the hall exchanging insults.
I could have ignored it but decided to open the door, ask woman if she was ok.
She said “no” and needed help.
I said “go into my room, close the door and I will get the manager”
All ended well and I wasn’t shot but sometimes you know what is the right thing to do.
And what would the counter person do if the woman was being hit on by another woman? Would she even notice?
It was written by a man in 1949...but ok, lets ignore the abuses of the "patriot" act.
Sometimes taking a lid off a coffee cub merely means you want to drink your coffee.
