Presumably most of you have seen the recent "street harassment" video. If not then you can check it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A

I absolutely fucking lost it when I read it. She's disgusted and appalled by the behavior of the men in the video, but, and it gets good here, she met her own boyfriend this way. Granted not on the street but in a train.

There's a few situations in the video, such as the guy that follows her for 5 minutes that can be intimidating for a woman, but the majority of the guys in the video only greeted her or gave her a compliment.

If this was applied and men were not allowed to approach women in public then she would never have been with her current boyfriend.

"In slightly different circumstances, if, say, I had not been attracted to him, or simply wasn't interested, that action would have been annoying and uncomfortable."

Attractive = fuck me Brad Pitt.

Not attractive = creepy, intimidation, harassment, sexual objectification etc.

Some other extracts:

"I was livid when I saw that video and angry beyond belief that a woman could experience this."

"My mom saw the video too and she said what many guys have been saying "sure much of that is harassment, but what's wrong with talking to a girl that interests you, as long as you're not catcalling? What's wrong with 'good morning?' I tried to explain to my mom that no woman should be subjected to being seen as a sex object in a public, non-social space and that it's obnoxious at the least, degrading and scary at the worst. The street isn't a bar or a party."

"I was talking the train back from hanging out in NyC, when a guy sat in the empty seat next to me. We chatted for awhile. He was funny and talkative. We exchanged numbers and went on a date the next week. He is now my boyfriend."
