Woman walks around New York for a day, is catcalled more than 100 times

[squealpiggy]

Man **** it. I'm officially going to war with feminists. **** them. **** their "movement". **** the ideas they espouse, and **** their false sense of constantly being victims.

How will you be engaging them? Slurs on twitter? Because they hate slurs on twitter.

Pretty sad/desperate.

I can't imagine how any of that works for them.

In my experience it works like.........2 percent of the time lol. Women get cat called so much in NY they pretty much get desensitized to it. Actually now that I think about it the only time it has worked for me is on the train when no one is around. Plus I was being polite instead of the "You're gorgeous" trope.

Some of them were pushing the definition of harassment rather hard but in the context of the other comments it's hard to make the distinction. When I first saw this video I thought it was overblown for the reasons I highlighted. However reading the comments of people on here I'm not more inclined to believe she has a point. Also yelling "DYAAAAAAAMN" at somebody's arse is clearly disrespectful and I'm at a loss as to why you wouldn't think so.



Can I assume that a gay man can acknowledge your beauty then? How would you feel if gay men repeatedly yelled out things to you about your appearance? Would you feel comfortable about that?



You know what makes this a problem? You specify that you will only help out a woman with something if she is attractive. You won't help a woman out that you're not attracted to? What about helping a man out?

I've been on the receiving end of hyper-feminism before after holding the door open for a lady. Thing is I hold the door for everyone. It's common decency. Some of the examples in that video were pretty egregious and obviously intimidating. Not one of those catcalling idiots on the video would have the least bit of tolerance for a man talking to them in that manner.

So again while I think its probably a stretch to claim that her experience was widespread and I think that editing two minutes of footage from ten hours of recording demonstrates that she was likely mostly ignored, she definitely has a point to make about the attitude of men towards women.

I think you should make a distinction between what is harassment and what isn't.
Your example isn't accurate because though a man trying to talk to me is something I wouldn't like it isn't harassment. I can't sue the guy just for trying to talk to me. I may not like it but would it be verbal abuse and harassment? **** no.

Ya lol I was going to say....getting a female alone and introducing yourself...or trying small talk would be where it's at. Just not all goddamn random walking by.

The guy asking her questions in the video had 0 game

"DYAMN GURL!" is not a compliment.

I can't say I agree. I take it to mean "damn girl, you are hot". I think a lot of women from certain areas would respond positively to that (see banderivets below).

However it goes both ways....Any time I'm in the hood checking up on my boys the girls in the hood holla all the time, its just a cultural thing.

I always flick a cheeky smile and a "hi" towards a pretty lady in the street, its just, at the very worst, harmless flirting and at most, being polite.

I still say shouting random compliments (even nice) to a complete stranger is desperate and bizarre behavior.

If I were her I'd be like: wtf who the hell are you?

Desperate yes, no offence I think the "hi" is a bit needless Clung. If you're going down that route I'd limit it to non-verbal contact, but that's just my opinion.

I think you should make a distinction between what is harassment and what isn't.

Yeah, harassment is generally characterised by repetition. There was no pattern of harassment by any of the individuals apart from the creepy walker hobo, but that's New York, it could just as easily happened to a man, lot of weirdbeards about.

This is how a fight between me and NE would go, he is "too much weights and not enough speed work."

i don't lift weights. at least, i don't lift them to get bigger.

i get that a bunch of the plebs on this forum won't get that, but i think you can recognize that i'm just built like a truck.


the day that 40 year old mexican is faster than me:




you'd probably beat me up becuase you were a pro fighter, and are still in a boxing gym. i ahven't sparred in five years +. i'd probably try and get you onto the pavement, where i'd work toward turnign you into a brown stain

Well yelling it yes, but from what I saw a guy said "Dayumm" in a normal voice. It may not be the best thing to say, but harassment? I mean dayummmm...

I have had gay men hit on me before and it doesn't bother me in the least. If I was in a gay bar, or gay neighborhood and gay men asked me how I was, or god bless me, or do I need some help, it wouldn't bother me in the least nor would I think it was harassment.

She is an attractive female in a predominantly hetero***ual male world. As long as they are not disrespectful or pushing the limits of her privacy, I don't see "hello, how are you doing" as harassment.

Another point, I know this isn't going to come across as PC but there are a lot of women, who if they don't get looks, comments or get approached, get equally as upset. Every woman likes to feel attractive and wanted, of course there's a limit and a proper way to approach a woman.

I recently had a female friend who just got divorced tell me she doesn't understand why men don't approach her more. She is attractive and I told her it's because some men don't have the confidence to do so.

Irrelevant. The people are strangers and have no idea about your ***uality in the same way that the men in this woman's video have no idea about hers.

However you are clearly not interested in any of them.



Well aren't you just a solid example of the modern reconstituted man?



Oh and you were so close. These "bitches" dress "like whores" and should "move to qatar bitch"

Wow.



Just read this back to yourself and ask yourself again why she feels intimidated being yelled at by strange men.



He's also somebody you know, not crowds of random strangers.

Some very strong white knighting in this thread.
