3	The recent "cat calling video" has got a point, right? As was pointed out on a recent Honeybadger podcast, law enforcement advise you never to publicise your rape and death threats, because it encourages more of them. The actress is not publicising her rape/death threats; the company who she worked for has elected to do that, I suspect to "raise awareness". I don't think it's very nice to "raise awareness" by risking a former employee's life. This video was made by a producer specializing in viral marketing. The featured woman is an actress. It is i…	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 06:14 PM
3	Today I learned: Pointing out that saying hello to a woman does not constitute sexual harassment on r/feminism will get you shunned, banned, and subjected to hate mail. A small number of the YouTube comments are apparently rape threats. But I haven't seen any after looking for them. The woman is an actress, and hasn't commented on the story one way or the other. The organization who paid her and the viral marketing filmmaker to make the film is spinning the actress as the victim of rape threats to make more coverage for themselves. You don't make rape threats public, especially not on the internet: that just invites more, which may not all stay only on the YouT…	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 10:06 AM
3	Why does society stigmatise and discriminate against men with fertility problems? "It's not fair," says Dr Zhai. "The man has the problem, but the woman goes through all the medication. And it might not even be necessary. Generally, men are easy to treat." Screw this! How about "the parents both have a problem because they are a loving couple and therefore function as a f***ing unit, and would probably happily donate kidneys to each other to save each other's lives"? Men are apparently so easy to treat as regards their fertility that it's taken decades to come up with even a …	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 09:41 AM
1	The Problem With That Catcalling Video Yeah, I didn't really choose my words carefully there.	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 08:55 AM
26	The Problem With That Catcalling Video Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A Look at the credits. The producer specializes in viral marketing. The featured woman is an actress. The camera is jolly steady for something that's implied (but never stated) to be concealed. (A camera that's not concealed, that's on a steadicam, is going to make people stop and look.) They claim 100+ examples of verbal harassment, but only show 44. (But when you describe this video, you'll say something like the author of the linked…	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 01:12 AM
1	Street Harassment The video's fishy. We see 44 examples of verbal harassment from 25 men, not "100+ examples of verbal harassment" as claimed at the end of the video. Then look at the credits. The producer is a guy who specializes in viral marketing. Here's the other stuff he's done: http://robblisscreative.com/#!/portfolio.html. The featured woman is credited as an actress: there's a link to her website, too. The camera is awfully steady to have been concealed in a backpack or something. It looks more like it's …	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 01:05 AM
1	Woman Endures Endless Catcalls During 10 Hour Walk In NYC Also, check out the credits at the bottom of the video. The featured woman is an actress. The producer is a guy who specializes in viral advertising. See his portfolio: http://robblisscreative.com/#!/portfolio.html At the very least, this film was made for the purpose of raising money, for which it needed to reliably prove its point. We don't know how much more was a setup: it's possible at least some of those men were actors, too.	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 12:52 AM
3	Woman Endures Endless Catcalls During 10 Hour Walk In NYC There is one thing very fishy thing about this video, and some other things that are possibly a bit weird. The one definitely fishy thing: We don't actually see "100+ examples" of harassment at all. I count 44 instances, by 25 men. (I counted every subtitle as an instance, so the guy who follows her for several minutes gets about four counts.) So if there are 100+ examples, why doesn't the video show us 100+ examples? It's not as though showing more examples wouldn't strengthen the film-makers' …	/r/MensRights	30/10/14 12:36 AM
50	Couple who got 15-year-old babysitter high on meow-meow and forced him into having sex are jailed. The woman who had sex with the boy got 3 years the man who watched got 4 years 6 months. Seems a tad Of course, the article doesn't once say "rape"; it says "they had sex" rather than "she raped this underage boy on two separate occasions."	/r/MensRights	22/10/14 10:45 PM
