That was pretty decent. This is the kind of prank I enjoy, one that can really be shaken off and isn't mean-spirited.

The teacher was so cool about it too!!! Literally, everyone is winning.
I think it'd be more interesting if one man who was known to catcall were set up to get catcalled all day long by women that weren't his type. Just incessantly, all day for one day. I think it would fuck em up and change their opinions of it just being "a compliment", rather than one offhand comment from one girl just…
One time a dude was like, "Wanna see my dick?" and I was like "Yes, please" and I stood there waiting. And he eventually walked away. I'm not quite sure what I would have done if he had whipped it out. Probably laughed and made a joke.
Why? Women who get catcalled are regular women so if you reverse it it makes sense to do it to 'regular' guys. It's about illustrating the behavior not getting revenge.
I think my favorite part is where she goes into the hardware store and ends up asking if there's a woman that works there she could talk to instead.
Holy shit.
To preface this, I want to say: the hike from where I park to my office is packed with particularly imaginative construction workers, and I've been walking their gauntlet for about three weeks. They're always the worst on Fridays.
I LOVE THIS AND PLAN TO DO IT EVERY DAY.
Dear Jezebel commentariat:
You watch your mouth!
Just my two cents based on the discussions going on. I've always been fairly "pro" makeup if that makes any sense and don't really see it as this harmful thing, to me it is a form of self-expression and is fun so I guess I'm biased because whenever this comes up on Jezebel as it tends to be split into the camps of "I…
Did you hear her say her acne started in third grade? Acne is largely a hormonal condition, which is why it is prevalent among teenagers. Others of us (me! yay!) have a lifelong struggle with the condition, no matter how much makeup we do or don't wear. Do you think Ms Bankson would have gotten to the point of…
You can be perfectly happy being who you are, but believe me, the continual nasty remarks from the peanut gallery of life can wear you down. And frankly, it's nice to look in the mirror and not see what drives you crazy.
As a general guideline, if you haven't dealt with skin conditions that cause other people to harass and exclude you on a regular basis, you probably shouldn't tell other women who have had that experience that their decision to wear makeup in order to get through the day without facing that harassment is the "wrong"…
I think there are some misconceptions going on here, and maybe as a female soldier I can help out. You can still braid your hair. Pretty much the only style of braids NOT allowed is the one pictured in the lefthand photo (a.k.a three braids).You can braid/french braid your hair in one or two braids OR you can have…
I appreciate the back-and-forth I've seen on this post, and I think both the author and susieq have explored a lot of the angles - why should we report on cops when they are just doing their jobs, how complaining about the reporting on cops when they are breaking the law they are supposed to uphold is another way of…
Two cops waited with me while I got my rape test done and drove me home but I assumed that was part of their job, is that not the norm? They did get me Starbucks though, that was nice. Obviously this is an issue that is very close to you but I also think it would be irresponsible to not report these incidents no…
I'd never say "every cop is a pig" but the attitude that "there are just a few bad apples in every bunch" is just as problematic. There are systemic problems in police forces that need to be addressed, and aren't, specifically to do with race and gender. These three cases are not standalone. You want to know how many…
On a more serious note, this reminds me of a Facebook post about a cop I saw once.
To be fair, for every incident like this there are hundreds (thousands?) of cases of police officers actually protecting and serving.
