The dumbest thing about that comment is the 50’s and 60’s were the time period when the civil rights movement won the fight to eliminate Jim Crow and segregation. I think she means late 19th/early 20th century. Or even pre-1865.

It’s great when people write things like “This is my opinion and I’m not afraid to say it! Come at me!” and then inevitably they are whining and crying in a few days once their “honest opinions” get them in trouble. I thought you didn’t care, hmmm?

Well, they are the ones teaching children, so.....

Jesus fucking christ.

how much do you want to bet that this will devolve into telling girls to dress modestly, practice abstinence and stay sober within the next 3 years?

So, in an effort to show that this is a serious issue they make a joke video where the “victims” enjoy it.

Exactly. This has happened to me a couple of times and it always felt totally harmless for two reasons:

Exactly, I could be harassed a dozen times a day and it wouldn’t be anywhere near the same thing as women experience, because 99.9% of women could not pose a physical threat to me. Even if they did there would not be the expectation that my rejecting them could lead to violence.

Agree wholeheartedly. Every time someone attempts one of these “role reversals”, they don’t prove much. Because the targets are still perceived as men, and they still possess everything that comes with that.

I can’t really see any man caring about this because men LOVE their penises and have a hard time realizing that their dick isn’t the center of everyone else’s universe as well as their own. If some girl ran up to them and said “I love that cock.” there’s a good chance they’d laugh and think “Man, I love my cock too.…

I’m sure you mean “a reasonably attractive, young woman, who would not force me to do things I don’t want to to, and not murder me afterwards”

Men live in fear to; nothing scarier than the sound of high heels clicking behind you on a dark street.

Yep. That and society generally acknowledge that men’s bodies are their own property so it lacks the putting them in their place quality that male on female street harassment has. Plus, men don’t deal with catcalling constantly. If it happened once in awhile, I don’t think it would be a topic of discussion. Not to…

I seriously laughed out loud at this.

(I am a guy, hello, I think that’s an important fact in this comment) I don’t truly know how I’d react to a woman harassing me on the street, but I have to suspect that I would just be kind of baffled. If a woman were to say something like this to me, it would carry very little threat—I wouldn’t feel like I’m in…

Eh that would then just be harassing people to ‘see what happens’.

This is a funny stunt for sure. However, to most of us I’m sure it is obvious that it isn’t the same thing. To use an odd parallel, it would be like a lamb telling a lion that it looks delicious. The lion isn’t in serious danger from the lamb and never has been. So, saying something like that doesn’t put the lion in a…

this is always such a dumb comparison. Sure harassment is irritating for men from women (bachelorette parties are the worst for that, so gross) especially in groups but danger/fear factor isn’t there at all.

Jimi Hendrix comes along and turns it into a classic.
