Women aren't harassed, they're celebrities

Funny how the women are harassing the celebrity at the end. Why are they doing it, don't they know how creepy it is to harass people on the street? It is almost as if there are different sets of rules for different groups of people.

Yeah "genetic celebrity" is a phrase Warren Farrell coined twenty years ago or so I guess. It's a good metaphor for explaining what's going on. Women are complaining about their power. Another metaphor is to rich people. Rich people are often going to be solicited for money or favors or whatever. Clearly the sort of harassment that feminists complain about is the sign of great privilege and this is why women complain when it ceases, as they get older and "become invisible" (which they then also complain about as sexism of course).

I often say women are treated like nobility. It explains many of the otherwise bizarre social rules. "Learn how to treat a woman" for example. Or all these rules on how to approach women. In the past it was considered out of line when a man talked to a woman without being introduced first by somebody she knew.

It also explains why people see individual men doing better than most women as an example of injustice to women. How dare one of the peasant class have an advantage over somebody from the aristocracy?

It also explains the earnings gap. Women don't need to develop many specialist skills or struggle to compete for resources. Money flows towards women socially. When they need more of it, they're not as inclined to try to earn more but instead, tap into that social flow of resources. That's what Sarkeesian and her kind demonstrate so well. Ironically, their pretty effortless success at acquiring attention and support, proves their central premise false: namely that men have it easier. Men could never do the same and get comparable results.

I loved the end after the celebrity had left, the amount of girls saying "oh my god" there was unprecedented.

Women wouldn't mind being treated nice, offered sex etc. The problem is people can't handle rejection, and become violent when women say no. This is why they would rather not deal with creepers at all. Celebrities have security, so there's less danger, and also it comes with their job, they basically get paid to do it.
