A story in my school newspaper. Apparently men are offending women when "lounging" or "walking to classes".

This is a clear case of androphobia and Keely Moore should be condemned for her views.

To clarify - it is racist to be nervous or uncomfortable in the presence of other skin coloured people, it is innapropriate to sterotype that way.

Man is the new black.

Women are encouraged to be grateful that a stranger, who is statistically likely to physically, mentally and sexually abuse them

Wow. She used the word statistically so it must be true.

Greater than 50% of strangers a woman meets will abuse her sexually.

That is a FACT!

what's wrong with this article?

Aside from the misogyny and colonial residues that incite street harassment, street harassment is also fueled by the idea that unwanted and unsolicited sexual advances are natural human behavior, that they are a form of flirting, that when men humiliate women for participating in popular western feminine archetypes it is an indicator of reverence.

Predominant is the idea that street harassment is for the benefit of the woman. Women are encouraged to be grateful that a stranger, who is statistically likely to physically, mentally and sexually abuse them, is providing them with attention while they are simply trying to get to class.

It is widely understood and accepted that men are expected to initiate any potentially sexual relationship and that women are not. That men actually initiate sexual relationships is the inevitable result.

I wonder - y'know, rhetorically - whether any form of initiation by men whatsoever would be acceptable to the author, and if so, what form that initiation would take. And yet, as I wonder this, I must acknowledge that the author's stated preference could only be safely assumed to apply to her, and that no man in his right mind would willingly initiate sexual relations (by whatever means) with a woman who equates that initiation to a propensity toward physical, mental, and sexual abuse.

The other day, a man followed me into an empty stairwell in the McKinney Humanities building to ask for my phone number. He continued following me to my car, asking for my phone number, even after I explained to him that I felt very uncomfortable giving my phone number to a stranger.

This is literally the first sentence of the story. Yeah, this is totally about women being offended by men "lounging" or "walking to classes". You picked what has to be the least relevant and least important sentence in the whole piece and made that your focus.

Try harder.

The article is a sad testament on our education system and the religious zeal young women are being whipped up into.

I wonder if she thinks it's ok for a woman to ask a man out on a date or for their phone number.
