I don’t think anyone here is neccesarily disagreeing, but lets be real Raz0r if someone is walking by in a good mood and tells you good morning as you two walk by. Is that really harrasment regardless of rather you felt uncomfortable? I understand your “if you feel harrassed then its harrassment logic” but it’s not 100% applicable to every situatoin. The dudes saying good morning ain’t harrassment rather she likes it or not. The catcall can be labaled as harrassment though. But if she responded back and flirted with every dude who was saying the silly shit would it still be harrassment?
this girl btw, has her tit sized posted on her bio on her blog.
Lol at freedom of speech. You are so fucking stupid. You know free speech only applies to the government censoring you, right? Anyone else can censor you to fuck. You’re not entitled to a voice no matter how much you believe it.
Then, the first amendment doesn’t protect what you say to other people. That’s why there are numerous laws against it.
Goddamn idiot.
someone is mad
First of all I completely agree with you insofar as a person is not obligated to acknowledge any person they do not want to that is a personal choice, which is perfectly legal albeit a rude one depending on the situation. Let’s take it a step further and say just because person A have strong feelings for person B there is no legal contract stipulating person B must reciprocate those feelings to person A.
That being if you ever get charged with sexual assault for breathing in the same room a woman is in remember we will all laugh at you (more than we already do?). Also you claim to have a gf so tell us how did you two meet? If your answer involves speaking at all then you’re admitting to being a walking sexual assault charge along with everyone who’s ever spoken to a stranger for any reason.
Saying Hi is not the same thing as following someone for 5 minutes, also you asked “what if she doesn’t want you to?”…well now you’re expecting all people to be professor X, you can’t tell if a person wants to talk to you or not until either they approach you and start talking, send some kind of non verbal signal inviting you to talk to them which in itself is a slippery slope at least socially, or if you actually just fucking talk to them and find out based on their actual response or lack thereof.

Mind sharing the legality of this I mean how many of those men in that video besides the obvious creepy stalkers could be charged with sexual harrassment, does the woman get full control over what is and isn’t defined as sexual harrassment as raz0r claims? If so then where does the slippery slope end? what’s to stop a woman from claiming her doctor examining her on a routine checkup with a nurse present isn’t sexual harrassment?
Yeah, that guy who doesn’t know law. I just dislike stupidity speaking as an authority.
Oh those darn hood men and their harassment.
“hood men”, eh? that bitch is just itching to drop some bombs.
Salutations ne’er do wells! I have been lying dormant for quite some time! You may have previously known me by my previous name “Raz0r”.
I have ascended into my true form because I can no longer tolerate such foul villainy in my most precious of internet forums.
Any man who should so much as dare speak to a woman without her consent, is in fact a RAPIST! How dare any of you address a female in any way without first going through the proper legal channels and acquiring the necessary rights and documentation to speak to a human female.
If anyone would like to repent for their actions and inquire with me on the proper way to change your ways and stop being a member of the patriarchy, feel free to ask!
Neither is complimenting or simply approaching another human being. There is no law that stays you have the right to not have people even approach you, short of a restraining order. Sure, some people get approached more often than other’s. Celebs, models, etc. If you don’t like the attention, slash your face up with raz0rs to the point where nobody will want to approach you. Problem solved.
I thought the video was interesting, but the at the end when it mentioned they were trying to stop street harassment, it just doesn’t make sense. You can’t just stop someone from saying something you don’t like on a state wide scale. On private property sure, but proposing to stop street harassment? well, good luck with that working out.
definition of harassment: aggressive pressure or intimidation.
didn’t look aggressive to me, maybe except one or two with those guys badgering her?
Spoiler
but damn she got the cake
The person coming up to someone unsolicited cannot determine whether or not it’s harassment. At that point you give that power to the person you’re approaching out of the blue.
This is what happens when society turns into an electronic communication dependent parody of itself.
Fucking golden calfs complaining about harassment while they are fucking your children in shit…
This is why I punch women in the face, sometimes they like to bitch about trivial shit and its only proper they get taught their place in the grand scheme of things. :mad:
This is the most delusional shit I’ve seen in a while. It could only happen in an age when people think face to face interaction is somehow inherently dangerous, instead of the way human beings naturally interact with each other. The internet has given everyone paper thin skin.
@RockBogart Your days are numbered! =P
It must be a north east thing. People are weird there. They think greeting one another is weird or “harassment”.
Southside Southside uuh everybody do the Southside Southside uuh
“…coming up to someone unsolicited…”
“…unsolicited comments…”
In what reality are these types of comments expressly solicited by someone? Hotornot.com? Does that still exist?
I mean, where are these people setting up a booth or a kiosk with a sign on it that reads, “Grand Opening of Sanctioned General Greetings Towards Me and Allowable Comments on my Appearance, Now Open for Business: Please greet, compliment and/or critique/admire me.”
How do you know preemptively know if any given comment or greeting is solicited or sanctioned without stepping to everyone like Data from Star Trek?
“Excuse me miss, may I greet you informally?”
“Excuse me, may I compliment your appearance, human?”
Are we Cylons now? “***By your command.***”
Street harassment is definitely a valid concern in DC and Baltimore, from what my fiancee tells me. She’s had dudes start off by saying hey (she says hello back, since that’s what normal people do), and then the guy proceeds to follow her back to her car, trying to get her to come with him, even after the whole “no, I’m taken” is said. There’s also been times where guys tried to cop a feel as well.
I’m glad that not many of you have had to hear these kinds of things from a loved one, but I’m also disappointed that y’all are unable to empathize at least a little here.
I think it’s fucked up that they try and paint it as something that only men do. My girl gets *harassed *by men and women at her job. And then when she comes home I harass her booty with my penis.
