Was there a harassing suite anywhere, other than the guy in purple?
 
I'm confused. Your comment here and your vote in the poll seem to conflict.

:thinking

Nobody in a suite harassed her, but plenty of the others.
 
There were a few instances that I consider harassment. The guy who says she should say thank you when someone calls her beautiful, the guy about 1:30 that pesters her and wants her number. The guy that follows her for 5 minutes is kind of creepy. Most of the rest was a little impolite, but didn't go far enough to be called harassment.

Some of them are just ridiculous though. Do women really consider "How are you this morning" and "Have a nice evening" to be harassment?

I want to like this about a dozen times at least.

Thank you.
 
Most of the instances shown definitely count. Though... I'm not especially sure what it's supposed to prove, other than that the skeezy kinds of guys you tend to find hanging out on inner city street corners often have incredibly poor manners.*

(*Even though the men who catch the most Hell over this will, of course, be Middle Class White boys at college who have never 'harassed' a woman in their lives. :roll: )

A good bit of that video looked like harassment to me, granted some was more mild than others. Still though, a sad statement if that is what a female has to experience just walking about New York. Perhaps it was how I was raised but nothing in that video is something I would do to a woman just walking by.
 
Maybe if she didn't act like a snooty bitch... just sayin
 
Since the video is obviously heavily edited and intends to show examples of "harassment", I must conclude that while s few of the comments/actions are disturbing many are simply innocent compliments/comments. It appears that this story/video intends to portray any and all unsolicited comments/attention as "harassment".
 
I watched that last night, and had some mixed emotions about it. Much of it was just sort of mindless annoying behavior, by men who probably had no clue they were being jackasses. If it were me, I wouldn't have put myself in the position of being treated that way, in a couple of different ways. I wouldn't have walked the city wearing what she was wearing, and I wouldn't have done it alone. I not even in NYC, but in Texas, and I'm a good bit older than the woman in the vid, but I have the sense not to essentially ask for that type of treatment by men.

I'm sure that the point of the video was probably to shame men for acting like asses, but seriously, by looking at the men in the video, who acted like they did, I wouldn't expect otherwise. Put the woman doing a similar "experiment" on Wall Street, and you'll very likely get a completely different result.

Avoiding eye contact, not saying anything, expressing an unfriendly demeanor in general.

Here in Texas when someone offers you a "good morning" or " how ya doin?", it's good manners to respond in kind. Doesn't mater if you know them or not.

BTW: I mentioned nothing about her clothes because there was nothing over-the-top slutty.
 
I'm not saying it's her fault. I'm saying I wouldn't have put myself in that position of being treated that way, by men who are thoughtless. It wasn't WHAT she was wearing. It was how she carried herself, and the image she projected. THe most significant issue was the audience. As I said, if she did the same thing walking down WAll Street, the reaction would likely have been very different. You need to have the sense to avoid being treated this way- but then the whole point of the video was to make men look inferior.

I don't find that harassing, I consider that to be polite. I agree with your take on it that there was some harassment, some people just being impolite, and just some people trying to be friendly.

Definitely feminazi-ish

Did you miss that I multi-quoted? So that part was not directed at you. :2wave:
