Based on the gamer gate thread I am not surprised at how this thread went.

i think it's disgusting that men do this. and i think it's embarrassing. there was one time i was going to lunch and had to walk past a construction site, and these disgusting scum construction workers were hitting on every woman with a pair of tits. very creepy to be a pretty woman with dirt bag guys on the street making inappropriate comments.

These guys in the video (typically the less educated ones) do it because they don't realize it's demeaning and embarrassing (to themselves). Construction guys do it because they are standing next to their bros and well... mob mentality. Yes, it is troubling that it happens.

I was in a tile warehouse the other day (the stock room) and the guys back there had pics posted of half-naked women just out in the open near a desk. Meanwhile, through the next door you have the main tile showroom of a family-operated business with more women than men working there. Crazy world we live in.

We used to "wolf whistle" passing girls now and then when I was a kid. Never really thought it was harmful, just a bit more audacious than usual behavior. Some of that stuff in the video is pretty damn creepy, though. Not sure how you would try and outlaw it.

This video and this person are just irritating an annoying. Yeah, lets make a 10 hour video and walk through the shittiest places in the city and wear a sign on my ass and see what happens. Her FB page is annoying as hell too. This is so phony. I hope she enjoys her 15 minutes of fame.

I started a thread about this happening to my wife last year, iirc. I guess this video was the sanitized version.

She looks like she has a nice body, nice curvature. I suspect she has a healthy ass judging by all of the "damn" and attention paid to her as she walks away.

But hey, let's set aside sarcasm and instead play Devil's advocate. If homophobia is wrong because homosexuality can be widely observed across multiple species throughout the animal kingdom, than surely catcalling must be OK.

Where the fuck did you get that idea? Animals also rape and murder each other. Homophobia is wrong because it's directed at people that are behaving in accordance with a healthy society.

When she's in her 40 and nobody is catcalling her I bet she will miss the attention.

WTF? Yeah, rape victims will miss the sex when they're old and ugly and not one wants to have sex with them anymore.

And wear skin tight cloths. And she expects men to not make comments. It isn't like this is something new for christ's sake.

Attention whore, IMO.

I've heard this opinion from others as well. I personally didn't think her clothes were all that provacative. Whatever. She does have some really nice hips though, I think that might have something to do with the amount of attention she got.

Have you ever been in the woods, and heard the birds and the frogs and the katydids making all manner of noise? All of that noise is just males going "NICE SHOES, WANNA FUCK?" If it happens in nature, it can't be wrong, right? I mean, OK, so there's a lot of rape and cannibalism in nature too, but setting that aside, those other animals seem pretty on the ball.

Why read an entire paragraph when you can be offended immediately? Although I suppose I shouldn't have said "set aside sarcasm" since I was still being sarcastic, which I thought might come across when I admitted I was advocating for the Devil, an entity not known for progressive opinions.

Or it could have been her massive mommy bags in that skin tight shirt. Look, I'm not the kinda of guy that is going to say things to her just out on a stroll, but I'm sure as hell going to look at something like that when it passes by.

This chick wants to get trolled by peeps on the street. I bet she would have been pissed if nobody hit on her.

Typical entitled woman who gets hit on and calls it "creepy", but secretly loves it. I'm sure if she walked through a crowd of movie stars and pop icons and they did the same "creepy" things regular guys would do, she wouldn't be calling it harassment.

used to have a co-worker who would yell out the car window "I want to fuck you"

pretty embarrassing shit..he only lasted one day. I guess he didn't notice the huge ass billboard on the side of the truck with our number on it.

Yeah, we as men are supposed to read their minds and know when they want to be hit on and when they don't.

But if you're David Beckham or Brad Pitt anything you do is fine to them because you're so desirable to them it doesn't matter.

How are we supposed to continue as a species if men are supposed to never speak to the opposite sex?

A girl that dresses to attract attention because she'd never get it normally and then says she is oppressed.

Some of those guys were creeps, but just saying "Hi" is problem?

LoL

Whoa,.. there are some SERIOUS creeps in this video,.. especially the dude walking side by side with the girl for 5 minutes,..

D:

Anyway,.. I've never catcalled.

I have stared no doubt and certainly leered checked women out - making sure I am never caught. A few times, I have been caught looking, and I have gotten a smile back. I also check out women jogging/biking as well,.. those ARE the best to check out,... damn,.. now I sound like a creep,...

But, I don't approach random women walking/jogging/biking in the street and try to get them to chat. That is what bars, house parties and after work drinks are for!

Give me a break. There are no creeps in that video.

Bitch needs to check her ego.

The baby's, damns, etc. are weird and inappropriate, but seemed like half the comments were just people being friendly (hi/good day/good evening/whatever) or beggars getting ready to accost her for money (god bless... hey could you spare some change?).
