A new video about street harassment has gone viral and it proves that . . . how do I put this? It proves that I was right.
The video, released by the nonprofit anti-street-harassment organization Hollaback, features a moderately attractive woman, Shoshana Roberts, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, walking in silence through Manhattan for ten hours. The trek was recorded on a hidden video camera, carried by Roberts’s boyfriend, who walked in front of her. The camera picked up over 100 instances of street harassment in one day, according to the group, ranging in severity from men shouting “good morning,” and “how you doing today?” to men following her for several minutes, walking uncomfortably close.

See my #79.
Upshot: unintended consequence or deliberate, institutionalizing such “outrage” may very well lead to burquas.
we have turned into a nation of freakin sissies where everyone htinks that the primary job of government is to prote4ct our individual overly sensitive feelings- Government’s role is to protect our constitutional rights- their job is NOT to protect our feelings-
[[Several weeks ago I was in a fast food place and a stunningly beautiful young woman smiled and said hello to me. I am probably three times her age and wasn’t hot property when I was her age. I probably reminded her of her beloved grandfather. It sure was a wonderful feeling tho]]
You should have sued her for harrassment
[[I watched the video and most of the people were merely wishing her a good day. Yes there were some problematic people too, and they were clearly idiots]]
It’s people like her that want the government to make her life completely free of anything that might bruise her overly delicate feelings- she wants to live in a bubble- completely sheltered from anything she might find offensive, and she htinks it’s the government’s job to provide such a life for her- She apparently can’t cope with real life- and so we all will suffer having our constitutional RIGHTS violated because she doesn’t like men looking at her and saying anything apparently- she is nothing more than a typical liberal whiner of the first order
I don’t have any respect for a man who would do anything like that.
I don’t know if it is Arab countries...when my father took our family on a two week tour through Europe when he got his orders back to the states from the Philippines, and he had to take care of business when we were in Italy, so my mom took us around Rome for a day.
She was all dressed in black with sunglasses, a very good looking woman in her day, I am told, with six kids aged eight to fifteen in tow.
She was mercilessly ogled at, whistled at and had gestures made at her (she related this to me years later in this way) which made her furious at my father for somehow leaving her alone.
I remember all that as we walked up the streets, but I was still pretty young and it didn’t make a connection with me.
I think it was Mark Twain described a scene at a mining camp - a newcomer had brought his wife and child with him.
The miners gathered round the tent - “Bring them out!”
And then they filed by, one by one, just to look at a woman and child again.
NAM: Non Asian Minority?
God Save The South.
Dunno.
Maybe we’ll have to Google for a Racist Acronyms database.
Yeah, I noticed that as well.
The reason to make the distinction is that Asians, though a minority demographic, are not “real” minorities because they don’t have a destructive culture that inhibits social and economic success.
Not Guilty
I have conversations with coworkers about how so much is wasted on the fairer sex. If women were checking out and whistling at us guys we would love it! We would take it as a compliment. Women get upset if a man prematurely (you know) she gets mad but if a man makes a woman do that then we are THE MAN!!!
Now THAT sounds uncomfortable...somewhere that REALLY isn’t a place for women and children!
100% Agree

See wolf.
Yes, it was scary - but ultimately the miners acted with a strange kind of respect and tenderness, out of longing for the women and children and even the potential children they had left behind.

So, what - you’re telling us the shown behavior is acceptable?
Or are you just sort of into low-life chic?
It doesn’t make any difference what she’s wearing or not wearing - public sliminess is still sliminess.
