"For people saying that 'god bless' and 'good morning' aren't street harassment...it is, in this instance. Those men aren't saying it to every person who walks past."....so apparently, "god bless" and "good morning" is harrasment

After reading those comments in xhamster, I have come to the realization that the reason women do not like catcalling is because they assume every man is a rapist. In their minds even a "have a nice day" and "good morning" are ploys to engage in conversation, which in turn leads to rape. Hopefully, when they start teaching the "boys shouldn't rape" seminars in k-12 women will feel safe.

honestly if a bunch of large black and Hispanic men who look like their probably armed with some manner of weapon greeted me like that every morning i'd be scared shittless, and if a they started walking next to me i'd sprint

and how are they being nice, they are being creepy as shit

though walking through the ghetto to complain about catcalling is like walking through a warzone to complain about how common guns are

Offtopic: God Bless is a usual homeless line too. They come up asking for same change, explaining their circumstances, and if you seem hesitant they will usually say something like "God Bless" to guilt you.

I swear they have a playbook just like salesmen do.

This is actually one area where I have to start agreeing with women.

This is beta behavior, and it's disgusting.

If you are going to say something, be deliberate, and make sure the person is giving you their attention before you say it.

Make eye contact on the street? Say hello.

See a stranger walk past you while you're squatting on a milk crate rolling dice? Say nothing. You have no reason to speak.
