Now how many of you guys walk down the street and have a bunch of people greet you and a lot of times add things like "handsome" "cutie" and "prince"? Now imagine this has been happening to you ever since you were 14. While saying "hello" might not be open harassment, how many of those same guys do it to males too? Part of the reason a lot of women find this is harassment is because it is intimidating. If you are going to be assaulted by a stranger it is overwhelmingly going to be a male. Have any of you locked your car door because a woman walked by? Any lone person on the street would feel intimidated and harassed if what happened in this video was almost a daily occurrence.

I guarantee if one of these people said hello to everyone who crossed their path they would not feel as intimidated. But when someone pinpoints you to say hello too as you are walking down the street in makes it a little creepier.

And seriously anyone who thinks that guy walking beside her not saying anything wasn't being creepy and inappropriate is really just being silly. I would be freaked out if someone was doing that to me.


#1 Many times strangers do randomly say "hello" to others as they pass them on the street or something.  Especially if you live somewhere like in the southern parts of the United States. 

#2 You wouldn't know if someone says hello to everyone who crossed their path or not unless you stopped yourself.  

#3 It happens all the time where someone happens to be going the same direction as you when you're walking somewhere, especially a crowded area.  Saying it's creepy is the silly thing unless you have good evidence to say that they were doing it to follow you.  That video barely showed any and let us just believe that he was doing that by saying he was.  He could have, but he also probably wasn't either.


Saying good morning because your a sociable human being and saying hi because you wanna F someone is not the same. There is much sexual context in the video people are blatantly ignoring. They are objectifying her and she has the right to not want that attention constantly being thrown at her. 

That is the way the uploader wants you to see it, by putting that kind of context into it.  You could have the exact same situation with a different context given to it, and it wont seem that way anymore.  Some of the guys there were obviously doing it, but not all of them you can actually confidently say they were.  And regardless of that, it's still going way too far to call it "verbal harassment."  In what way is it harassment?  They are not forcing her to respond to them, and they are not approaching her, and little to no evidence of them trying to do anything but greet them.  Just because they are a male and she only showed the males speaking doesn't mean that they were all motivated by the same thing.   When you put in such ambiguous "harassment," you come across all sorts of problems.  I am not trying to discredit the entire video or the point the video makes (which, quite clearly, almost everyone already knows about by now given that the media is rampant with it), I am just saying it's a bit dishonest with some of its representation.
