I mean, I haven't watched all of her videos, but from what I've seen, she's not being particularly harsh. It's not like she's screaming at them and cursing them out or anything; their faces aren't shown, and she's asking them "Why do you think this is okay? Are you aware that women don't like this?" I actually think…

you mean the way the cat callers were adding to female struggle by publicly shaming them via unwanted & aggressive attention? your boyfriend is an apologist for bad male behavior, if not a sexist.

Why do you think he took so long dragging that stupid cross where he needed to go? So many hotties on the ancient sidewalks, he had to keep stopping to collect their phone numbers for their ancient sin-phones.

I guess you could respond with "let me see if I understand. It's ok to marginalize and objectify and harrass one historically-discriminated-against group as long as you're a member of another historically-discriminated-against group

I had a black dude harass me at work where I really couldn't fight back. He kept pestering me and pestering me and pestering me. Finally he said, "You won't go out with me because I'm black, right," which sounded like a great example of How To Gaslight A Woman Into A Date So She Won't Get Fired. I said, "No, …

The thing is, your boyfriend is sort of on to something—but it doesn't make it okay. I've read a couple of theories that catcalling is more widespread in minority communities perhaps because it's an expression of dominance and power that is ~allowed~. So, basically, because they feel powerless in society in general,…

Well, maybe confronting street harassment isn't about being an effective cog in society but affirming that you have the right to exist without be hassled or constantly viewed as a sex object. When I talk back to street harassment it's not about them- it's about me and what I want in my daily excursion into the world.

A WOC friend of mine experienced something she reported to the cops. (She didn't want to talk about it with me but she felt duty-bound to report it the cops.) And she told me later that one of the police officers———himself also a person of color——-asked her if she really wanted to do that to a brother. She retorted, …

I don't think he does have a point, actually. At all. I think it's really problematic and racist to basically think 'oh, you can't expect people of color to understand the fine points of respect and equality like us white folk.'

Infantilizing minority men is a huge problem and minority men and women contribute to the idea that black and brown men should be held to to a lower standard than white men. It's the reason why black women are always told that they have to "work with a brother".

One night going home from a party I was harassed by these 3 guys who were following me. It was quite a dark street but I was very close to a crowded area. (I live in Amsterdam and have never felt unsafe here, even walking through a park at night.)
I told them to fuck off. One of the guys was suddenly next to me and…

So women are supposed to be the sacrificial lambs so men of racial minorities can feel less marginalized? I will not feel even a little bit sorry for saying, fuck that.

Put him back on the curb where you found him.

What? Your boyfriend's an idiot. "Men have such little input in society", yeah, except we fucking call all the shots and make all the rules, except for that.

I'm not so polite. I'm a middle aged woman, so it doesn't happen to me much anymore. I was out bike riding and a man came out with, "Oh, so you like to ride!" wink wink! My response:

So.....let's let disenfranchised dudes harass women by way of a consolation prize? Hell, you'd think dudes who themselves experience discrimination would be reluctant to turn and punch down, but I guess "bros before hoes" REALLY is the universal rallying cry, isn't it?

One day I was sitting on the bus behind a girl with headphones on with a guy started calling her "Blondie," and just generally telling her how he'd like to get to know her. He wasn't particularly crude about it, but it was clear his attention was unwelcome. But he kept trying, and she kept replying in monosyllables…

Apropos.
