When is it OK to say something?

I can see already the Facebook is providing various causes for concern when we see sexist notes/comments/profiles on our friends’ pages. However, what do you do when you see your friend’s friends, who you may not know, post some misogynist garbage on their page? It’s OK to take you friends to task, but someone you don’t know, whose activity you can only see because it’s linked to you friend? Hmmm.

My friend posted on her status that she had ‘had an epiphany.’

This was one of the responses of her guy friends.

“Laura, I thought I gave you the epiphany today…knock out all of your teeth, have the government pay to have some 24k gold teef put in, then one by one, yank them out and sell them to CashforGold for thousands…sure you won’t have any teef left, but hey, that could be a plus in the guy department… “

I really found that vile and misogynistic, and kind of want to tell her to delete this moron off her friends list and keep away from him. Obviously not my call to make, so I just posted a further comment, saying ‘[insert friend’s name], you have some really classy male friends.’ It was as far as I felt able to go, but I wanted to go so much further and a) tell her to ditch this wanker, and b) tell him he was a vile twat. What d you think?
