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. |
When I walk through big cities (I've even walk through New York a few times) there's countless people saying "goodmorning", or "How you doing, bro?" or "Have a nice day". It only makes me smile. Once, when I was in San Francisco (okay, it's only three weeks ago), I high-fived someone coming in an opposing cable-car (you know the cable-cars which are part of what makes SF famous). Both cable-cars broke out in cheers, shouting and screaming. I'm not even making this stuff up. And it was so awesome! All of a sudden, the mood went through the roof! Was I harrasing the one that I high-fived?
