Ontario Mills Mall has truly outdone itself as a bastion of misandry and unjustified harassment. As a male, I was singled out, followed to my vehicle, and threatened with police contact for doing nothing more than giving women compliments—polite, harmless interactions that should be part of the normal spectrum of human communication. Apparently, being male and speaking to someone respectfully in public now constitutes a crime in the eyes of their overzealous and deeply biased security team.
Let’s break down the sheer absurdity of this: rather than investigate the validity of these so-called "complaints," which were likely rooted in nothing more than subjective discomfort or even coordinated efforts to smear me, they took the baseless accusations of strangers as gospel. Compliments, not theft or violence, were enough to paint me as some sort of public menace. No evidence. No proof. Just hearsay and gender profiling.
The behavior of Ontario Mills Mall security was nothing short of discriminatory and downright humiliating. Their callous dismissal of my humanity, as if I were some threat or nuisance simply because I exist as a man who dares to interact with women, is a testament to their gross incompetence and deep-seated bias. Their inability to treat people with fairness or provide basic due process makes it clear that they operate on the flimsiest notions of “justice.”
What’s most egregious is the dangerous precedent this sets. Are men no longer allowed to exist in public spaces without being vilified for engaging in polite social interaction? Are compliments now treated with the same gravity as theft or violence? By acting as judge, jury, and executioner, Ontario Mills Mall has demonstrated that they are more interested in catering to baseless complaints and perpetuating gender stereotypes than in fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment for all patrons.
To be clear, Ontario Mills Mall isn’t just enforcing rules—it’s actively promoting a toxic culture of misandry and cancelation. Instead of holding individuals accountable for legitimate actions, they’ve decided that the mere existence of men who communicate openly and respectfully is a problem to be eradicated. Their actions were not only unwarranted but deeply insulting and damaging.
I hope Ontario Mills Mall reconsiders how they train their security and handle complaints, because this kind of targeted harassment is unacceptable. Until then, it’s clear that this mall is no longer a safe or welcoming space for men who dare to exist in public. Shame on you,...
Read moreIts been a couple years since I've visited the Ontario Mills. It's been at least 10 plus years. I will say though the vibe is still something alive and I love the feel of having to feel like I was the tourist checking out the place for cool finds of gifts and personal items for me.(I would say the sales are everything and everywhere if you want to spend a few extra $$$ but want to save some $..) as always there was a heap load of people walking around. I wrapped up eating at the chipotle in the food court. Well I ended up having a nostalgic moment to myself just sitting there people watching me as I watched them. It was unbelievable to see myself now and where I was then in such a place, where I once worked, shopped, and hung out with friends and family.
To all those visiting enjoy the time whether window shopping, people watching, shopping, dining, or have spent the time with some entertainment. The one thing I literally stopped and was stunned to see... was this big Ole tornado looking coin bank where you line a coin up and drop it down to only see it go around and around and around having it then go extremely fast in circles before depositing itself into the bank. As usual someone is always watching (a child) and will ask to go and drop a coin in too. That was my favorite thing when I was a kid and even an adult now. (Coin deposits do go-to a donated charity) so check em out for those who need a break from...
Read moreOld style clothes, less choices. I have been going to this famous mall since it was opened 20 to 30 years ago. It has been a major shopping and entertainment center for people living in the Inland Empire and tourist from other countries. However, in the recent years, I have realized that the quality of the clothes and choices of the clothes, and the most important thing, is the style of the clothes, have been declined dramatically. For example, there are still some famous and classic clothing stores remaining, but the styles are so old and not trendy, make me feel like that they are an outlet for leftovers, but not an outlet for new arrivals! I was not able to find any clothes of worthy of buying, but a simple, black sweater from Guess, before I would have left with empty hands! The Hollister store, is not as vibrant as before; the Express store, is filled with bright pink shirts, the CK style, are filled with unisex and black clothes; also the A & F store, is filled with very out of date clothes in color and styles, same as Gap... The rain forest Cafe is still open and it is still a very unique and fun place to go, it you are disappointed about all the clothes. Again, please don't make this historical mall, an outlet of the leftovers: This is my...
