You make some good points, but
Here everybody, have a really big can of worms. Some male gropes me on a crowded Tube (note: thankfully I personally have never been in this or a similar situation). I slap him hard across the face. Acceptable?
(I'm not sure how helpful the analogy is. There are some similarities but I'm also aware I could be about to derail what has been a mostly interesting thread. It has been in my head for a while as I've been following the thread, though, so I'm plucking up my courage and throwing it into the mix...)
I am not convinced that this is happening. Others are saying that they have taken wing mirrors off, or could see themselves doing so. I don't think that's "lauding" the practice.... I find it dispiriting that it's actually being encouraged, even lauded...
