A woman has gone viral on TikTok after creating a female-only club to stop men from ‘ruining nights out’.
@TeddyEdwardes on TikTok has created a ladies-only club called Lick in London. She has shared why she decide to open the club after numerous negative experiences while clubbing with men.
According a 2017 survey, 63% of women between the ages of 18-24 had experienced harassment while on a night out. Almost 80% of the women that were surveyed said that they expected it to happen to themselves or a friend.
Teddy writes, on her video:
“6 years ago a man ruined my night out for the very last time,”
“And I created a women only night club. It’s now the biggest in the country with 2000 women a night.”
She told BuzzFeed:
“The final straw that broke the camel’s back was: I walked into my friend’s album label launch in Shoreditch and within seconds, a man grabbed my ponytail and pulled me backwards across the club all the way to the bar because he ‘wanted to buy me a drink’.”
“For the first three years, I barely made a penny. I did it out of pure passion. My partner at the time told me I’d never make any money from it and I should get a normal job in a café,”
People flocked to the comments to praise Teddy for such a brilliant idea:
“I can just imagine the bathroom chats… LOVE.”
“As a mother of three girls one who will be 18 in a couple of years I back this 100%%.”
“Honestly your clubs look amazing. My night out got ruined a few weeks ago by two men so maybe one day I’ll come to your club haha.”
