Screw her feminazism

So to speak.....
I thought el rushbo opined that feminazis were always unattractive and desperate for attention?
This woman looks fairly attractive.

They are acting like men of a lower cultural caliber act. You and I may not identify with it, but it's certainly nothing unusual.

That last is further confirmation that we are sliding down that slippery slope toward a society I no longer recognize.

We used to call this loutish behavior. Only displayed by the ignorant and socially low class. And yes, it's harassment.

Agreed.
I thought the creepiest part was the guy walking alongside her for 5 minutes.
Just a weird get-out-of-my-space moment.

Yes, we are, but it's nothing new. That is why I am careful about how I dress, and the image that I put across. Plenty of people in our society don't have the same social filters that they once did. I see it as my responsibility not to give someone cause to act like that.

It definitely was, and if it had been me, I would have stopped abruptly, looked him directly in the eyes, and asked him what he wanted. That is another reason that I know this video was just a set-up. She didn't portray responses that looked real to me. The guys were young men, for the most part. They weren't older, responsible-looking men who had regular jobs, apparently.

I judge her by her actions. In this case, her works.

Well, I'm not sure why you would be offended about that. The entire thing was staged and appears to be set up to make men look like assholes. Sorry if I doubt the sincerity and honesty of the entire video process, but I see it as dishonest. I don't care personally, but it really is men acting like men, and the difference between you and them is that you have the sense to keep it to yourself, just as I do, when I see a man that I find sexy and attractive. It's lewd, but certainly nothing unusual.
 
Some was harassment... most was not.

Men trying to get the attention of a female by asking her how she is, is wrong?

Yeah, seriously, I didn't see anything that just screamed at me that the guys were being assholes. Just that she had caught their attention, and that they were interested. I know it's pretty school-boyish, but hell, I'm not surprised.

And I find that offensive. The men should keep the comments to themselves.

Well, maybe they SHOULD, but the fact is, they don't. I only find it offensive because it's not the way I would act, and I wouldn't take it as a personal offense if I were the woman. If I put on a pair of leggings, and a tight t-shirt that's revealing, and go walking through a construction zone, I expect to get a few wolf-whistles, and it doesn't offend me.
 
The guy in purple is great. :lol:

Sorry, I don't have really anything to say on the topic.

Not always, but sometimes it sure could be.

A lot obviously depends on how it's done, when, and where.

I never said everything in the video was harassment, but some of it sure is.

I always got the impression from these complaints that some women just don't like getting attention from men they don't have any interest in themselves.

I was always embarrassed to be around guys that made calls like that. I never did. Girls flocked to me...

Some guys are assholes... yes. Most are just insecure or have bad communication skills and make stupid childish hello's

Of course some was... like the guy walking next to her for 5 minutes. That is just creepy.

I suppose, but in my experience anyway most of the women that complain about this stuff are not so much offended over the behavior, but offended over who is giving them attention. Ironically, their boyfriends are usually no better than the guys they reject giving them attention.

I don't blame you, and I would have felt the same way. I'm just saying it isn't unusual among a certain class of people.
