Some people rely on fictional works for information and guidance.

I also heard allegations that the video also edited out the reactions of white guys to her.

I think most media should be regarded with at least a pinch of salt.

I'm not saying this is not a problem. But then, I don't exactly go walking for 10 hours through NYC, either. Who would want to?

Even though this was meant to be funny, it also shows why it is a problem for women. Men don't experience harassment, but women do. But women know this, and it does keep them off the streets (for the most part).

a man has only twenty seconds to gain the durable attention of a woman.

Not too far off.

Would you call it a "problem" if the "catcaller" would be
a young, athletic and wealthy man?

Of course. Come on, man, don't make me tell you you're "part of the problem".

Why do some women consider complementary catcalls as harassment? Most guys would be perfectly happy with just a smile or friendly acknowledgement of some kind. I say for the most part it's women who turn it into something it's not meant to be by their unfriendly stiffness. Well in the South that is...not sure about New York.

Catcalling is illegal in New York, subject to stiff fines and incarceration.

Liar!

Catcalling is "chivalrous" when the dude is a catch.

But if he's broke, ugly, or a minority, then you get
that nauseating video. Let me guess: you read Salon,
right?

Somebody tell this idiot to stop ruining this lulz thread.
