When I went to NYC the thing that got me was the violation of personal space. Being nose to nose with people on the Subway, waiting at a stoplight, etc. Just saying hi or good morning or hey there to a nice looking girl you pass on the street, that's harassment? Saying "Hey Babycakes wanna meet the bald headed rat?" THAT's harassment.

New York's arts and culture are top notch. I recognize that Broadway is something special to NY. I ****ing hate musicals and would much rather see the Met Opera, but it's not like that's really anything special compared to the brilliant opera houses of Europe. And yeah, NY has got some great museums. So does Boston. And Philly. And Chicago. And LA. Christ, even Houston has one of the best art museums I've ever been to. I'm not saying big cities aren't cool. Big cities are ****ing awesome. But people dig New York over the other big ones for entirely ****ing stupid reasons. That's all I'm saying. |

It is no surprise to me that men don't think there is anything wrong with it, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Please do me a favor for just one minute. Try to see her perspective and really listen to the things I am about to say.
Predators do not generally approach you in a threatening manner and get right down to scaring and or raping you. It starts with a greeting. Maybe followed by a very generic conversation. It generally includes flattery, and at some point you have missed the opportunity to just ignore them, and now they are following you. You are almost to work (or worse home) but you are scared to stop there because then they know where you will be in the future, and you don't want that, so maybe you go someplace like a grocery store hoping they will lose interest. At some point you have to make a statement of disinterest, but there is a risk there too. Have you misjudged this person? Perhaps, but this is a regular occurrence and it becomes very difficult to discern the benign from the dangerous until it truly becomes scary. Make no mistake, most women have had many of these moments get to the scary zone, and that leads to assuming any instance can become scary. I know most men are good respectful gentlemen whose intentions are harmless, but women are telling you that they can't tell the difference easily and asking the good ones to stop camouflaging the bad ones by ending verbal harassment by those with no ill intent. Think of it as a favor to your sisters and daughters. |

The woman who put together the video included the benign ones in with the obvious ones. If she's trying to make a point about sexual harassment on the streets, she did a pretty ****ing shitty job of it. |

Plus, she looked pissed off. And/or on a mission. Trying to make a person smile shouldn't be off limits. I bet if she came stomping up to a stop light I was waiting at, with her silence, and brooding stare, I'd say something. I can almost guarantee it. My joke might fall on deaf ears, but I'd enjoy it.

I dunno, I didn't think it was bad, except the dudes that actually followed her.
Here in Nebraska, nobody says shit. Is that good or bad? Oh, and Too Fat / Omaha

You don't have the right to walk down the street, and not have people say things to you.... I'm sorry...you just don't. Thats not how it works and I don't think thats how it SHOULD work. I'm gonna teach my son and daughter to use their best judgment......but I will never teach them to be unfriendly or not reach out to people...Why live life in that way?
