Link to video in question.

This popped up recently on the front page of /r/videos, following closely in the footsteps of the Egypt street harassment experiment

Both videos follow the theme of recording a woman's daily struggle with unwanted male interaction on the street.

The general reaction to both was roughly the same, "wow, that must be so hard for women. I bet it gets annoying real fast". But it didn't seem like anyone cared to really pin down what was wrong with the behavior of the men in these videos.

In the Egypt video men stared, in the NYC video men spoke. As a cumulative effect it can seem strange, but each individual instance isn't really all that out of bounds. Hell, most of the men in NYC were actually very polite. I can't help but thinking that hearing some of those things would brighten my day.

Eventually one user broke it down to it's logical base to point out the absurdity. Either it's not allowed for any man to speak/make eye contract with a woman or these are simply the wrong men doing it. In other words either women are above interactions with men, or they are simply above interactions with men they don't want.

Ultimately I think this is a great example of the feminine imperative attempting to weed out undesirable male advances by making every man who might initiate contact feel like a 'creep'.
