It makes a good bingo game as well.

Oh, I think I have one:

It's a compliment when you're attractive. It's harassment when you're not.

Can I get a brief rundown on what this is? Fucking around at work but liveleak is blocked.

SNL "Sexual Harrassment And You".

[–]hunotquite 8 points9 points10 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

How does telling a girl she is pretty is calling her a piece of meat? That makes no fucking sense.

Telling a girl she is pretty is harassment? you got to be fucking kidding me.

[–]cascadecombo 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's like they want people to flat out ignore everyone on the street.

Some people don't have the knowledge about approaching other to start a conversation with someone they want to talk to, so they open with a compliment sometimes with the hope of continuing into a conversation.

But no, the people who make those cards want you to stare down at the ground wherever you walk and don't you dare pay a compliment to anyone.

[–]TheIronViking 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

This is some of the silliest shit I've ever seen. It makes me wonder if half this stuff is all an elaborate long-game troll to make gullible people do crap like this.

[–]scottlapier 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The best part about this is the hambeasts that would hand these out on the street are the same ones that post photos of themselves on social media fishing for comments.

[–]Billetbill 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It is the result of a long-game. Slowly our perception of what is normal is eroded by crap like this, even though it is only a drop in the bucket.

[–]Billetbill 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

This card campaign is very feeble and has a juvenile feel to it. One thing I notice is that they casually blur the lines between cat calling and minor compliments. At worst someone might now get offended at a casual compliment, but be reassured that the pamphlet/leaflet is the least effective method of communicating an idea.

Here's the link so they don't get views

[–]pjewa[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yep, sorry should have done that instead.

[–]Endorsed Contributorvandaalen 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

While having the opinion that the real harassement is to insult my eyes and taste by wearing undersized yoga pants, when you should actually wear customized tents, I have to chuckle when thinking of all the landwhales getting loaded with a pile of these cards that they are - contrary to their believe - never ever going to need.

Edit: Well. Maybe except the one with the food trucks.

"I'm sorry, there must have been some confusion. See, I thought I was minding my own business. But apparently you thought I was asking you to comment on how I looked just by walking by. It's not a compliment. It's harassment.""

No, it's called you being an ungrateful bitch. When someone gives you a compliment about your appearance(As long as it's not to sexual). Be happy. Most people would love to have someone tell them they have nice hair or pretty eyes. not to mention that some people just like being nice, and complimenting others on their appearance to make them feel good.

"your mom.. would be really disappointed to learn she had raised a street harasser. Be a better man. Don't comment on people on the street".

Considering that I'm gay. my mom would actually be very proud if I was giving random women compliments about their appearance. Also, the fact that this person writes "man". Clearly says that they believe men can only be harassers. And that everything a man says about a women's physical features is harassment.

"Do you like how I look? Do you know what I like? Walking down the street without getting my appearance commented on by total strangers. "

I fail to see how this is a problem. Again, most people would be happy to have someone compliment them. And here you are, bitching about it. You sound like a little, spoiled, rich kid. Who's gotta everything handed to them, and now they're crying because their daddy brought them a lexus instead of a Jet. So they're bitching about how hard their life is.

"When you walk down the street, do random strangers comment on how you look? NO. Wow, that must be nice."

This person is clearly a women. Cause I grantee you if women were complimenting men, and telling them how attractive they are. Then a majority of guys wouldn't care, and would feel proud of it. And, to answer the question. Yes, I've had women tell me I'm attractive. I just told them thank you, and didn't cry about it.

"Ahh, summer. the perfect time to get outside and get active. Too bad you had to go and ruin it. Someone simply walking/jogging/biking in your line of sight isn't an invitation for you to comment on how they look."

Shit, you'd think that a person would want someone to comment on their appearance. If they're working so hard to stay in shape and look good. I really hope that only a small minority of women think like this or actually approve of this bullshit. cause if this idea and way of thinking becomes popular. Then we are gonna be living in a society of complete isolation. And nobody will be talking to anyone.

This is obviously a good thing: any woman who actually buys or thinks of buying these is a complete psycho. So if you ever get handed one of these cards, you know you've avoided getting involved with a crazy bitch.

Coming soon from a feminist near you: Scene: A couple getting ready to go out for dinner: "Honey you look very nice tonight." "Fuck you, you harrassing rapist! I'm giving you a red card!!!"

[–]hohamocha -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Its only harassment if the guy isn't good looking.
