The story I'm about to share is, unfortunately, something many women will be able to relate to. Far too many times women have been placed in uncomfortable positions with intrusive men who will not leave them alone.
In a viral video, a young man steps in and helps reduce this young woman from being harassed and sets an example for men everywhere on what to do to help women in these situations.
His parents should be proud as a video of him helping rescue a woman from an uncomfortable encounter is going viral.
The first on-screen caption reads, "There is a weird man making this girl uncomfortable in the store. [I'm] going to pretend I know her."
The woman off-screen immediately clues in and plays along, which is detailed by on-screen text once again.
After Brandon acknowledges the man, the woman makes an uneasy noise in return. Brandon takes this as his cue to make up a fake story to get them both out of there.
"Oh, Aunt Claire?" the girl responds, building to the story.
He then asks if she wants to come with him to see her and quickly gets her away from the man.
She says yes, but the other man had been asking if she wanted to come with him back to his place.
"Yeah of course, no worries," he replies before the pair goes their separate ways and the video ends.
"Thank you for helping her out. It's pretty sad how often girls have to deal with situations like this," wrote one viewer.
Someone even asked if "Aunt Claire" should become a universal code name for women in distress.
However, most people understood that he filmed it in an effort to show men how to help and intervene in a non-confrontational way.
We absolutely need to see more of this initiative from men!
Way to go, Brandon!
