It was really the bare minimum. She was almost non functional, and it would have been cruel to make her walk by herself when she that high.

Dude! 35M here. You are an inspiration and a role model. Seriously. It takes so much courage to stand up to your friends in a situation like that.

What you’ll realize later is that your friends were trying to rape her. That’s what rape looks like. It’s not someone jumping out of a bush and violently assaulting them. It’s people who know each other taking advantage of situations like that — they were literally trying to trick her.

One thing that still haunts me is that when I was 17, I was in my car with a girl, and we were having a good time. She was a little hesitant and asked me to stop, but I did the typical male thing of saying “don’t worry” and kept going. She was on my lap but we were both clothed, and she was sort of grinding on me. I kept squeezing her and encouraging her to keep going, and she eventually had an orgasm. But then afterwards she seemed sad and mentioned that she’d said no. We ended up booking up a few more times after that.

It took me like a decade to realize that even though I had the best intentions and would be the last person to ever take advantage of someone, what I did — to me, regardless of whether she thought so — was rape. If someone tells you no, you fucking stop! That should be the end of the discussion. 

So if it’s easy to fall into a trap when you have good intentions, like I did, just remember that your friends had bad intentions, and that they were actively trying to rape that woman. You very likely saved her from a traumatic experience that she’d carry with her the rest of her life. Hats off to you, and I seriously wish you’d get a medal for your actions. IMO we need to honor people like you publicly as a society, so that we’ll have more kids following your example as they grow up.

Your parents did a hell of a job with you my man. I hope you have a wonderful life. And yes, definitely roll your eyes whenever your friends are saying stupid things or calling you an idiot. You may not have the confidence to believe in yourself right now, but I guarantee you that most people in your shoes would’ve either joined your friends or wouldn’t stop them. So proud of you man.
