ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I didn't get to view all of this video in response, but he seemed to be on the right path. Some people have nothing better to do than to go looking for trouble and then, invent some, when they can't find enough. I grew up in New York city and in ten hours of walking the streets, I'll bet I'd get "one hundred incidents" of what they purport to be "harassment". I will say that the guys, walking next to her were a bit creepy and I would view that as intimidating, if I were in her shoes. Screen captures (and pissing on shadows) still RULE! Ya feel me? Perhaps you might want to get the opinions of women who experience it as opposed to the opinions of guys who mansplain to us why we should view it as a compliment. A few points from a women who has been the recipient of cat calls: It doesn't matter what you wear. I've had cat calls wearing a parka, jeans and boots. It doesn't matter how old you are. I'm in my 50's. I still get 'em. It doesn't matter if you're fat or thin. I'm thin, but fat women get harassed to. It's not a compliment, it's harassment. If we should just "get over it" and "find something else to complain about", tell me, is that what you would tell your sister or mother? And no, a man walking on the streets of NYC does NOT get harassment like that. Seriously, when was the last time you were cat called? For most women, it was probably some time in the last week. Yep - week. Has anyone ever cat called you on the street telling you that your ass looked nice or that you should wear tighter pants to show off your dick? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably have never experienced anything close to what women experience daily. Perhaps find out what they're experiencing before you dismiss it so blithely.
