10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman

Oh man, some of the replies here are too funny. This video is beyond ridiculous and proves nothing, just that men are men. It's built into everyone of us, every man that crosses a woman that's attractive to them immediately thinks sex, it's in our DNA, we're meant to think/work this way, the only difference is some feel the need to say something out loud, others will say nothing at all.

Be a real man and call it how you feel it, you're simply supressing your natural animal instinct, just like men, some women might like it, some won't, but that's your style and that works for you.
 
Right... What's that famous saying about the energy, universe and vibrations again??

Whats the definition of respect? Apparantly to the dumb broad that made this video saying good morning is harrassment. Some women think good morning is respectful, others think they're about to get raped.
 
It's a good discussion, because a line needs to be drawn somewhere, but where?
Does someone even thinking that they were harassed mean that they were?
Does it require touch? A proposition? Being followed? A complement?
Could simply saying "hi" be harassment?

An ironic statement, considering that "dumb broad" has received rape threats since the video went viral.
 
Of course. You have to break the code. Every guy knows that.

I think the line is pretty clear: If she doesn't demonstrate interest in you, leave her alone.

Scenario 1: You walk down the street, a woman glances at you and smiles, you say "hi". No problem.

Scenario 2: A woman is looking straight ahead, walking fast...she's obviously not interested. You stop, say "hi", and stare at her as she walks by. Now you're being creepy.

Let's all try to be empathetic for a moment: Women ARE worried about getting raped, and with good reason. When someone they don't know, and have expressed no interest in, starts giving them unwanted attention, their radar goes on full alert. So rather than expressing ourselves as "real men", maybe we should just...be...polite.

Again depends on your interpretation of being polite. I for one don't think it's inappropriate to tell a girl walking by she has a nice ***, some girls like it some don't, but my comments aren't directed at them so i can pick them up, just like I can give s guy a compliment and say nice shoes. That's just my style, I appreciate women with a nice *** and am telling them, more than none, they smile back or say thanks.

Not only is she not interested, she just wants to go about her day unbothered. As everyone should be able to do. What kind of a daily drudgery would it be if everybody was horndogging on everybody. I agree it's creepy.

Then you have your grey areas. You're in close proximity to someone, and if they're anything other than a woman who thinks she's hot, there would be some sort of acknowledgement. But if the other person is rich, powerful, pro athlete, celebrity, drives a hot car or a woman who thinks she's hot etc.,well now there is a rub. These people aren't "regular" folk. They deem themselves to have the upper hand. Do they? They sure act like it often.
 
So wait.....now we're expected to be able to interpret women's super cryptic "hints" to be able to talk to them? Good luck with that.

And I guess if you're not rich/attractive enough to generate interest just from someone looking at you then I hope you like spending the rest of your life alone.

And this is why we have the discussion to establish social norms.

Everyone will have an opinion on what is considered polite, naturally. The goal is to ensure we collectively have an understanding of what that definition is. You do not believe telling a woman that she has a nice *** is inappropriate. Assuming you do not know her on a personal level, most would argue that it is highly inappropriate. That statement can very rightfully be taken as an unsolicited sexual advancement. A non-personal greeting while passing by is one thing, a sexually fueled compliment is another.

You can have your style, doesn't mean it's appropriate in general society. There is a time and a place.

Exactly, an opinion. But who's to say what's acceptable and what's not based on that opinion, because a majority public opinion outweigh's a minority opinion you shouldn't expercise what you wish? People can think what ever they want, do what ever they want so long as it's within the law, cat calling as far as i know isn't illegal, telling a girl she has a nice *** is not illegal.

I will call out any and every girl i see with a nice ***, and love every minute of it, who ever thinks it's impolite can suck it.
