    but this shit does happen.

Shitty people exist, but someone shouldn't be punished for having the potential to be a shitty person. Let someone's own words and actions define them.

I don't know that I'd call it punishment, though. There's a huge difference between calling an individual sexist and requesting they give you space to feel comfortable among your own gender. A public vigil may be pushing the grey area slightly, but if you think of it as an extension of women's circles, it makes sense.
