I was getting back home from college in the metro and this group of people (4 women and 1 guy who was the cameraman) walked in. I was the nearest guy to the door so they came up to me with a mic and asked me my name and how old I was etc etc. I did not expect what was coming up so I just played along.
Few questions in and she asks me what my sexual orientation is. So I replied I'm a straight male and this person looked at the camera and gave a disgusted look and laughed. That threw me off a little but I let it slide.
Then she asked me if I had a girlfriend to which I replied yes. Then comes the weird part. She asks me, "did you ever hit her." What the actual fuck? I replied "No I have never hit her and I never will." So she went on to ask "have you ever thought of hitting her?" This is where I decided to draw the line so I replied "no, and I'm not going to reply to anymore of your absurd questions, so please leave me alone." They still didn't stop and started saying stuff like "that's what someone who hits women would say," and "are you a predator in your free time?"
I told them I wasn't comfortable being filmed so they should leave me alone. They still didn't stop. They started saying "this is exactly why we call men pigs" and other similar stuff. Then she ended the video and the whole tone just changed. She became completely polite and said "we're just filming a feminist video for our project. Sorry if you felt harrassed or anything like that."
Then she said "don't worry, I'll blur your face, no one will recognize you." as they fucking sprinted out of the train when the doors opened.
I don't want to play the victim card but I deal with a lot of mental health issues (self harm, anorexia, ADHD, and severe anxiety) and they've just made my day so much worse. That too just when I was starting to feel a little better.

No, not really. This is bonkers and not reflective of any real movement.
Really sorry you experienced it, though. If you know what local college it is, I would consider reporting them.
But, anxiety. So I understand if you don't.

I’m sorry this happened to you. They never stop to ask themselves how they (or women) would feel to be questioned so. Accused and slandered so. (Keep an eye out for that video. You have a case if they choose not to hide your identity)
Now...on to the good part. You are just as solid and good as when you went in. You already know they’re seeking sensationalism for attention. So you also know it wasn’t personal. You didn’t rise to their bait. You didn’t play the role they designed for you with their blitz “reporting”.
You handled yourself Very Well sir. I applaud you for taking command of that moment. You were surprised. Nervous. Perfectly fine. But you weren’t afraid. Courage comes in many forms.

You should've smashed their camera. I don't know where you live but in the EU and the US I know you're allowed to brake someone's recording device if they're recording you without your consent.
