i don't get how the beginning relates to the video. why is she saying that boys said she didn't look good enough in the beginning, yet the rest of the video focuses on men, for lack of a better term, "complimenting" her body so they obviously think she looks good.
@onemansrage Short skirts or jeans and t-shirt or long overcoats, we women have to hear this shit on the streets EVERYDAY regardless of what we wear. Go fuck yourself.
The men who can actually say their compliments to the womans' face, when she speaks to them directly, I don't mind. Those are compliments. But when you get the guys who will only say them to her when she's taken unawares, and then get all defensive when she asks them directly to repeat themselves, those are the creeps.

This is complete bullshit. Women dress themselvs in a way that catches the eye and love the attention they get from it. Then they turn right around and call men pigs for doing exactaly what the woman wanted him to do. Women are also just as bad about this kind of shit as men are, women are always looking at men the same way we look at them but they will never admit it. They believe they have moral superiority just for being born female. That film is a manipulation of reality to demonize men.
@onemansrage It's because some men think if a girl is wearing 'revealing' clothing, they want sex. There's nothing wrong with a women's attire, it's the lack of self-control and maturity that some men have that leads to the immature cat-calling and sometimes, unfortunately, rape. Don't be so ignorant by saying ALL women love having guys staring at them and calling them out when they're trying to get through their day. It's not like she stopped and questioned every guy she passed. Only the pervs.
@foxcub156 I know, I know, women who walk around with their tits and ass hangin out all over the place are descent respectable women. Attention whores are people too. You just got to love feminism. The movement that turned women into ultra easy cum rags. And women even defend this behavior with any irrational excuse they can think of. Can men walk around with their dicks hangin out and demand respect at the same time? I bet not. Women who act like this are pathetic and will never have my respect

@onemansrage just cuz a woman wants to dress cool on a hot day doesnt mean she's looking for attention. Its cuz its fucking hot just like when you rake your shirt off when its hot. Are you doing that for attention?...nope. Women aren't either in most cases.
@fusilier45 You liar. Women love getting attention they acting like they are victimized. This is all BS. There is no creature more manipulative or cold and calculating than a woman. Be careful out there guys. They will make a false rape claim or false harassment claim against you and put you in prison just for something to do. They dont care what happens to you. They will falsely accuse you of all kinds of shit and laugh at you when your getting raped in prison. This is the american woman.
@onemansrage damn what woman broke your heart? or what woman embarrased you when you came on to her? I think you need to become a gay then if you hate women so much. Not all women who dress in summer clothes in summer want to be groped at and catcalled at. It is actually quite scary in this free world I am entitled to dress cool in the summer heat without fear of what men will do to me.
@fusilier45 Ah yes the shame talk attack. Attack my sexuality or my masculinity or claim I hate women. I've heard it all before. I dont hate women I just hate bullshit and lies told about men. This film was made for one purpose, to demonize men. This film is man hating, nothing more. This film was made with the specific intent of making all men look bad and women look like eternal victims. Women say mean shit to men all the time but its supposed to be ok when women do it. Its called misandry.
i had to watch this video in class the other day, and it makes sense. Men should be taught to respect women. Such as not making provocative gestures towards them. However there was one part that sounded ridiculous. That was when the guy said "so its disrespectful for me to say hi how are you doin?" and the lady says "yes it is".
Another thing that is some what impossible is that. If a woman is walking down the street in barely anything they honestly expect men to not look?
What a thought-provoking little film; wish I could see all of it. It raises many questions, including as to what the roles for men and women actually are now in an increasingly complex and homogeneous world. I'll be honest and say I can't help but look (not stare) at a beautiful woman; it's like looking at a sunset, or amazing landscape. It's in our nature to enjoy the aesthetically pleasing, but in no way does this give men the right to do what they like to a woman, consenting or not.
@dunnooooo1234789 She is saying women are being attacked and dominated by men.. men think its ok to do what they want when they want to a woman. (such as oogling, whistling, yelling out disguisting things to the woman, treating her like an object etc)..Many women feel attcked and degraded when men rate them on the way they look.. men told this woman her hair and skin werent good enough..they told her she was fat and only a 5/10 on the way she look. It can be a war zone out there for a woman!
@mimcofied Oh now I understand. It like calling women how they look or height or weight but stil like warzone with furtard people. Now I understand. I'M NOT AFRAID OF PEOPLE IF THEY THINK OF ME!
@dunnooooo1234789 Its more than just what men think of you.. this woman walks the street and is alos being grabbed... some men think they have an authority to do this... if you like watchiong documentarys like this, i would really suggest you watch dreamworlds 3..its a real eye opener :)
I think the issue here is where the catcalling comes from. And i think it comes from a chauvinistic attitude that men have towards women. Like they can do what they want, say what they want, and look where they want only because they're men. It's not the looking really, it's the attitude behind it. Case in point, my bisexual gf looking at girls. We as sexual human beings like to look at sexual things.the difference is the attitude behind it. You're actions say how much you respect them.
bid deal lady ! men like women ! , oh its such a crime , mybe if people just said i hate you your life would so much better , ok there is war there hate in the world ,
@MrRiseAboveitall The fact that you think it's flattery just shows how ignorant you are.I've had guys say those type of things to me walking down the street. I've had men slap my ass in bars.That is not flattery it's harassment.I don't think wow I'm so fucking hot when a man tries to grope me.I think fuck you and give a boot to the balls.I don't care if they think it's a compliment.It's not welcome attention.
@MrRiseAboveitall I'm pretty sure most heterosexual men would not appreciate another man catcalling them or 'complementing' them in the street or any other time. Why do you think that is? if they think catcalling is a complement, then logically they would want to be complemented by others even if it was another man. Which goes to show that they don't see it as a complement at all.
Catcalls and derogatory remarks are one thing. However, approaching men who are only looking as if that's the same thing is bullshit. If I don't touch you, catcall, or approach you in a crazy way then I've done you no harm. My eyes belong to me and nobody else. And I can do what the fuck I want to do with them.
@vasarasx You sound really stupid. For something to be sexual harassment, it first has to be actually be harassment. I mind my own business and leave people alone as long as they do the same to me. However, for any idiot too ignorant to know AND too dumb to ask somebody, I'll do with my eyes what I please. Staring people down is rude. I DON'T do that. I check out women as they pass. Most never know, the few that do don't complain, so I've harassed no one. Women do it too. Is that harassment?
@vasarasx Stop pretending you can read my emotional state through text on a screen and answer the question. Assuming you're not asexual are YOU harassing whoever it is YOU'RE attracted to when YOU look at them?

This is bullshit, since when is it a crime to look at women? And I hope you realize any one of these men could take your stupid camera and beat the living shit out of you with one arm behind his back because we are way stronger than you can ever be. And the computer you record this on or are viewing this on was constructed by a man as was electricity supplied, so the hell with all you male haters.

this some kind of fucking bullshit wow.... Warzone? its in oure fucking nature to look at the oppesiv sex ??? soo when i go in my tank top and girls looks at my arms i should be offended ? get over it...
@Bregowald to you it's a non-issue because it doesn't affect you. But to the other half of the population it is an issue. Now, if you want to just come out an say that you don't give a shit about how women are sexually harrassed and abused in the street then just come out and say it, so I can tell to fuck right off.
@landerzoo it's a basic human right to not have one's boundaries and privacy overstepped. the basis of our existence is not to acquire" husbands". really, what century are you from again?those cats happen to be "men"and as you saw it fit to address women as"you" then obviously these cats= men= you. plus with the influx of sperm donors i dont think we need to settle with husbands these days.
@devoutxcynic you can't (you can try, but you won't succeed) and limiting speech that offends you. you don't have a right not to be offended by what other people say and do. if someone touches you, that's what the police are for.
you mixed the cat metaphor into crap, so i won't respond. you sound like the KKK.
@landerzoo a..) you dont make sense, either rewrite what you wrote or i wont bother adressing it b.) i didnt specify "touch" those were your words.and if so then the police will seriously be overoccupied if you think about. 'boundaries' doesnt just translate into physical space and doesnt always involve touching. oh and btw even if you did get raped you'd be required to testify in court and face the son of a bitch again. c.) read what you wrote.@ 'cats' if you can use an umbrella term so can i
@landerzoo i was exposing your offensive and crude stance on the issue. how pompous of you to assume that all women are concerned about/need husbands for fulfillment. thats not even the issue here. most women who get harassed have no control over the attention that theyll get. simple. its men like you that make us bitter and propagate this kind of behaviour. you are an idle, apathetic, hate-fuelled bystander not worthy of being called a man.
@landerzoo also your words drip with such venom i wonder if you are the one who's been hurt. and please, dont bother to reply its not like im interested in your personal troubles with women. the day women stop 'complaining' theyd start settling with men like you and believe me that day will never happen.
@landerzoo your head is so far up your ass, you're seeing beige; the old "bitter woman" chestnut is a really weak silencing tactic, as is the "woman scorned" bullcrap; i suggest you crawl back into the primordial soup and stay under until you're ready to evolve with the rest of us.
@EmpressJudge13 hahaha this made me laugh so much!!! awesome!
i think lander's one of those pathetic men who can only hope to get THIS MUCH ATTENTION from women in the comment section of video about violation of women's personal space. That's how sad he is lololol.
I love how they just get pissed once they are pressed about their actions. I admire Maggie for her courage and will to stand up against jerks like that.
This is a white women expressing her White Privilege. She is trying to instill fear of the brown and black men by portraying them as sexual predators and "other". She is a racist.
Its because of men like that, I had to stop going walking/jogging at my local park and pay for a membership at an all women's gym! It got to the point where I couldnt even workout without being harrassed! And I was not trying to look a certain way like women who jog in sports bras...I wore sweats, hoodies, no makeup on, looking like my normal self! Its really sad that I felt like my freedom was taken away I had to go into hiding because of this animalistic behavior!
@moongoddessaries That's awful! From what I can tell, what we wear doesn't matter. Sweats and a ponytail vs a tank top and short-shorts: That's not the issue. Regardless of what we wear, we ALWAYS run the risk of being groped, followed, catcalled, etc. So I just wear what I want ... and carry as many weapons I can. They shut up and keep their hands to themselves when they see a knife strapped to your thigh.
@EmpressJudge13 Sorry I accidentally hit thumbs up when I meant to hit reply. You're to emotionally irrational to understand logic sweetheart. So just take what I said and make of it what you wish.
@Richardcuz420 Ah, the old "hysterical woman" gambit. An altogether classic attempt to shut me up by claiming that my argument is illegitimate because I'm a woman and therefore too over-emotional to really know what I'm saying. Think you'll shut me up by calling me hysterical? Well, honey, I've been called worse. And I honestly can't bring myself to give a crap to care about what you say when you've already made it clear that you have no intention of trying to see this from the other side.
@EmpressJudge13 You live in a self deluded paradigm which only seems to be concerned selfishly about yourself. Only a fool would intend to impose their own delusional ideals on reality.
@Richardcuz420 ... really? That's all you've got? I'M the delusional one for wanting to live in a world where a woman can walk to the corner store without being called a bitch or having a car circle the block in order to follow her? Right. Totally delusional. And clearly I'm "concerned selfishly about myself". That's why I care about other women who go through this and men who have it in their heads that this kind of behavior is okay. Yep, totally selfish ... Do you THINK before you talk?
@EmpressJudge13 It went from cat calls to you're exaggerated illustration regarding stalking. You change your premise in order to throw off my argument. My point again proven, you want a utopia in an imperfect world. Deal with it! Don't dress like inappropriate if you want to be treated appropriately.
@Richardcuz420 You're not paying very much attention: What I (or any woman) dress like has no bearing on how I'm treated. We get treated this way regardless of what we wear. As I said, it isn't about skin, it's about power: A man's power to follow/catcall/grope a woman and conversely her lack of power to do anything about it. And maybe my points about stalking seem "exaggerated" because you've never had a guy twice your size follow you for six blocks after you already rejected his advances.
Again you take subject matter A=B Then perverse it and say that A is also equal to C in-turn B=C ergo your false premise
A is how women dress..
B being cat called and verbally harassed no harm no foul
Then you go on to Say that C which is criminal stalking is the same as B
Consequently exaggerating and debasing your original premise. Which I might add was a valid grievance which has fallen to the wayside because of your proving too emotional to grasp.
@Richardcuz420 If you REALLY think that a woman's attire is what causes these atrocious behaviors, then you are buying into the sexist notion that men are nothing more than walking erections with no thoughts or impulse control to speak of. We feminists didn't invent that concept; we just point it out for the sexist bullshit that it is. But whatever. You've made it clear that you won't listen to reason. You win, mate. Harass to your heart's content. Just pray it isn't me, as I am heavily armed.
@EmpressJudge13 I am a gentleman. I pointed out the fallacy in your argument. Yes how you dress does affect how you are treated. Try dressing like a bum for once and see how you get treated at a 5 star hotel. My dear you willfully refuse to accept your own reality, you're a woman and you are in a man's world. Call it sexist call it animalistic or what you will. Feminism is the real bullshit. Watch this video and maybe you might change your mind.
@Richardcuz420 Seen it already. Not impressed. You're wasting your time, dearie, as well as valuable brain cells. I don't care anymore. Go on your merry way and hope like hell you don't pull this kind of shit on a girl like me. Because girls like me know their worth and how they should be treated. They also know how to deal with "gentlemen" like you.
@EmpressJudge13 How does it go? Jesus was attributed to say I can heal the leper I can cure the sick and I can make the blind see but not even I can save a fool from his foolishness.
@Richardcuz420 too bad i don't treat bums the way '5 star hotels' do, or is that a euphemism for 'YOU'?!. Oh and I do frequent 5 star hotels (ye my upbringing's that priviledged). I think whoever the dick belongs to should take responsibility for their actions. don't you think?
@Richardcuz420 wow, hey tell you what, watch 'weird science'. hope you cant take inspiration from the movie to build your own female robot to spar 'logic', 'fallacies' and 'premises' with!
@EmpressJudge13 actually it's true what you're saying about how it has no bearing over whether or not we get approached. I would know, I was walking one day during winter season in the rain wearing the most haphazard ensemble ever and got followed by two men. I was minding my own business, walking back to my flat.
@Richardcuz420 And as for that bullshit about me wanting a "utopia": Fuck you too. Street harassment is only the tip of the iceburg, so getting rid of it would hardly make the world a perfect place.
@Richardcuz420 or you're too socially and emotionally inept. Tell me, do you relieve erections by reciting Pi to the nth decimal? Logic is overrated, and you're using it as a front for from your 'lackings'. The world doesn't run on logic.
@EmpressJudge13 I agree. Thats why i usually carry pepper spray with me when I go out alone. Hopefully i'll never have to use it, its just for peace of mind.
@moongoddessaries It's sad that we have to resort to these kinds of things. But what really gets me is how the perpetrators of this kind of harassment are conveniently left out of the equation. We're the ones who have to arm ourselves, carry pepper spray, not be out after dark, blah blah blah. But does that solve the problem? No, of course not. The problem won't be solved until we address the sense of male entitlement that enables this kind of behavior.
@EmpressJudge13 Yes, I agree. It really is sad and pathetic! Unfortunately this is still a man's world and women are only as free as men ALLOW us to be! All we can do is educate as many people as we can about this inequality!
@Richardcuz420 Let me get this straight: Dressing in a way that YOU consider provocative = wearing "a uniform" which indicates that it is my duty to ... what? Talk to you? Flirt with you? I call bullshit. A woman can dress any way, from modest to immodest and anywhere in-between and she'll still be harassed,. Why? Because this isn't about skin; it's about POWER. It's your way of telling me that I have no right to be in public. Well I ain't going anywhere. So what are you gonna do about it?
You wanna take your power know that if you go out alone in society with skin showing one you will be gwaked at and men will say this to you disrepectful things... Men wont say these things to say a muslim women covered up in Hijaab they will be repelled by her modesty.
@abdulwalee ...actually, that's the fault of the men, not the women. One half of the human species should not have to constantly dress and behave according to the other half. If they're not even capable of self-restraint, they probably shouldn't be the ones telling us what to do anyway. Not that sexual harassment has ANYthing to do with what you're wearing. Ask any woman living on this planet; she's gotten harassed no matter WHAT she happened to be wearing... a work uniform, a winter coat, etc.
@dirtyyoungexec hmmm you're 36 and a teenager has gotten you to waste time with a YouTube fight? And Who's on the bottom? With all the hours you spend on YouTube as a middle-aged man I'm sure you just must be PULLING in the wimmens. Since I do have a life, I must get back to it, so I will now say goodbye and thank you for proving every point this documentary is trying to make.
If only... talking sense to a troubled teen was a waste... 36 was middle age... I was over 30...
Some brotherly advice... You need to tone down the "crazy"or lots of bad things will be coming your way. Lippy girls who play power games with grown ups, judge men by the amount of women they "pull", but then hate on them for trying to "pull" said women tend to get eaten alive in life... especially in big cities. That someone like you supports this video is a testament to its severe failings.
@dirtyyoungexec Through a few random comments I've gotten you to spend amounts of energy and time spouting out emotion-filled retaliations. Amusing. Must be part of the reason guys bother women on the street. When you get somebody all worked up you take just a little bit of their power. Of course what power do you really have? None. You guys are STILL third class. Started at the bottom and that's where you'll stay. Your responses prove it.
LMAO. Can't wait for that. "So are you single?" is often used as a pick up line by people of her generation. She'll surely punish you for being so slutty.
ROTFLMAO. So the redneck girl who uses too many dots in her ellipses, wrote (cute when YOUR angry) and spells don't like (dont') wants to play grammar police.
Like I said before... you are a control freak and hypocrite.
Bet on anything you want as long as you don't force others to make bets. Cute, like offensive, is subjective and when something is subjective YOU don't get to decide, make the rules or set the standard for EVERYONE else to obey.
This is America, not LizaLand! You're entitled to YOUR feelings, but that's it. And I see you have no problem being vocal with strange men so whatever. Luckily most women, save manhaters like you, are comfortable with men having freedom of expression too.
What a complainer, you've got no appreciation of your freedom. Try filming this in Iran, women there can't even leave the house without being escorted by a male family member and even then hidden away under a burka. Don't want men to look at you? This is america: freedom of speech, and freedom to look at whatever's in plain view in public. Don't like it, go to iran and wear a burka. Watch out you don't get stoned in the street over there or get acid thrown in your face.
@dave4096 So it's either acid or ass grabs? I don't think so. Luckily I've lived in parts of the world where there are virtually neither. New York City's street harassment is AWFUL. It's not about free speech it's about cowardice.
@dave4096 I'm not saying I'd want to live somewhere like that. The U.S. is a way better place to be a woman than many parts of the world. I don't understand using those Middle Eastern examples though; it's like comparing "cultural" apples and oranges. As far as THIS country is concerned, even with all our relative freedoms women still deal with public harassment every day. Most of us hate it and we'd like it to stop. If this country honors women so much why not respect that desire?
@dave4096 Oh, quit with the "count your blessings your in America" bullshit! The point is that this isn't Iran or Iraq. We have our own issues right here in America to work out and that we're not as enlightened and evolved as we like to presume. Making comparisons to places that have it worse does nothing to solve the problem.
@EmpressJudge13 must be nice to have things so good that you can sit in your comfy life and be an armchair complainer, all the problems in the world are solved so you've got nothing to complain about, so better scratch the bottom of the barrel and come up with something to bitch about or else you'd have to come up with something actually productive to do with your life for a change
@dave4096 I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't hear you over the BULLSHIT. The fact of the matter is that, I should be able to walk down the street without having to worry about being catcalled and groped. Street harassment is a serous issue and using the old "go live in iran" chestnut is a craven attempt to silence me. Well, fuck you, sir. I have a bone to pick with the way things work here. Maybe you're the one who should go to Iran if you don't want to here a woman speak her mind.
@devoutxcynic exactly! it's amazing that we can say this and a million variations of this and yet the powers that be just don't get it! also: to male privilege, i would also add a lack of respect for bodily autonomy and gender expression. the whole situation's totally fucked, but no one seems to know what to do about it.
@lizajeans Did it piss you off when I called your dick tiny? Hmmmm, probably like how us girls get pissed off when we have our body parts shouted about on the streets by strangers. Maybe I should juts tell you that you're overreacting. Maybe I like tiny penises; it's a COMPLIMENT sweetheart! Oh, and SMILE!
Oh, so you were actually checking me out??? Naw, I don't think so. "Tiny penis" = "flat-chested" and is an insult, whereas "great legs" IS actually a compliment. Big difference...
But you are a ball busting, control freak and so you are obsessed with telling men who they can check out and how, not in any nuance.
SNL made fun of hypocritical, spoiled, subjective bitches like yourself when they crafted "sexual harassment and you".
@dirtyyoungexec I just watched that clip and now I feel sorry for you. If you like that skit so much you must be one of the ugly Omega males. That would be a hard way to go through life. No wonder you're so angry. Bless your heart.
@dirtyyoungexec oh wow, because we need validation all day every day from men we don't know to know so whenever and wherever, even when our legs aren't even in our mind as we're walking from the grocers' for example. God, YOU get over yourself.
Like I said before this movie relies on sexual shaming and your "tiny penis" remark is exhibit A. But two can play at that game. The problem is with YOUR slutty, loose cunt, not this bi man's anatomy.
Racists, gaybashers and Manhaters (like yourself) love
to obsess over "wrong" sexual activity. But you wierdo's really need to mind your business!
Stop trying to tell folks who to pick up, how to pick them up, where to pick them up and what to do with them after picking them up.
Wow! The white guys are much more belligerent than the men of color. That is totally my experience. White men think they can get away with anything. As a white woman, I wonder if they especially enjoy lording their power of us, as a way to show that White Men still have some sort of power. This sort of behavior is like the proverbial sports car - it's compensating for certain shortcomings.
Beta males....beta males.....what to do with them? Some advice...dont' waste your time trying to figure them out....they don't matter anymore...I'll be glad when we get rid of them all. Just five more years ladies.....10/10/15..........:)
It is very easy to shame people about their desires... especially in America. And when men are the romantic initiators man haters like Maggie get plenty of opportunity to make us look bad. I could easily reverse the results by asking women "Why are you dressed like that?" or scream "Put on some clothes" with camera rolling and then record their shame. This is not science. It's hate masquerading as education.
Ur name says it all. It's not man hating, most respectable women do not getting harassed and getting lewd comments directed at them. If it was just a how are you doing madam, it would be fine, but a majority of the remarks are demeaning and disrespectful
It's interesting, it's like she's turning that unwanted attention back on these men, making them feel the weight of her scrutiny as opposed to just sitting back and letting them scrutinize her.
Awesome, great initiative. Its always nice to see rude and coward manners destroyed, or at least questioned with works such as yours. Congratulations.
A couple of months ago I was waiting at the bus stop and a car full of those "strange men" pulled up and started making comments ... They thought they weren't doing anything wrong ! ... Thanks for the video.
Also women are capable of this too. I have male friends who have been groped by women in nightclubs, before all you women out there say it's different and they probably liked it, they didn't.They had girlfriends at the time so they in no way enjoyed it. If that happened to a female, the offender would have been kicked out in 2 seconds,but as my friends are male they are expected to put up with this unwanted sexual harassment. If they complained they would be laughed at by security. Sexist much?
@bsa1987 True, but in the quantity that it happens to women I believe out-weighs that of men. I agree that female harassment is no more justifiable, but did these male friends feel threatened by the women or just offended? Because I think when men harass women it's not just a case of women being offended, but also threatened physically and/or sexually. But your right, unfortunately both sexes, male and female, have their disadvantages...
While making comments, gestures or touching are obviously inappropriate... you can't blame a man for looking. Women can't expect to dress with all their "bits" showing and to have us men not look. There is absolutely nothing wrong about making a passing glance at an attractive woman, (not ogling) but just a glance. It's part of our biology to look at things that attract us (us men should be allowed to admire the wonderful female form, as long as it is from afar it harms no one).
@bsa1987 I agree with you, glancing is one thing, because I mean I glance too and I'm a lady, but the actually physical and verbal harassment is just used as a device to demonstrate male superiority...to make us feel insecure even though the comments are "supposed" to make us secure. It can even be scary... :(
@atozinco Those putting hands on somebody deserve an ass whooping. Those making rude remarks deserve to get cussed out. But thinking you have the right to control others' eyes is ridiculous. And how about women who stand around and criticize every man and woman who walks by. Why not complain about them? How is the fact that some men ogling women without any violence worse than the gawking, glaring, and derision some women visit upon everyone else? Is the male sex drive the only thing ever wrong?
I love this documentary, I'm glad that somebody has made a documentary about this - most girls/women have been sexually harrassed (whether they are plain or not), and the majority have experienced this from a young age (12 or 13).
I had been treated respectfully by every man I'd come across until I was about 13 - after that I had to learn to always have my guard up, not smile or make eye contact, and not trust stranger men on the street.
To put men silently staring at women in the category of sexual harassment is absolute bullshit. For something to be sexual harassment it has to first be harassment. Watching a woman's ass recede into the distance ain't harassment. And the men's defensiveness is proof of only two things: 1)in America sexual desire is a guilty pleasure, period. 2)people naturally get defensive when under attack. The directors own words that her camera was a weapon is proof that she wanted them to feel attacked.
@salaciousBastard Are you a guy? If you were a girl who had experienced having a guy (or group of guys) blatantly stare at her for a prolonged time (eg. sitting opposite her on the train and not taking their eyes off of her), you would know how unnerving and scary that is. She doesn't know if this creepy guy (or guys) will follow her off the bus.
@atozinco Yeah, I am a guy. So I know that most violence is male on male. Men do stare at other men. And when they do it is often more threatening. Not for sexual reasons, but because a dirty look in the neighborhood I'm from could get you killed. Of course, looks can be threatening. But she approaches men who are silently watching women, who are unaware of it. I look at women all day, but I keep my mouth shut. And they never even know it. Equivocating that with sexual harassment is bullshit.
ok im going to walk thru new york in a speedo with my balls about to spill out and i am quite good looking if i dont say so myself and see how many groups of women say AAAAYYYY SUGA, thats what u broads are doin when u wear those damn titty shirts and booty shorts YOU KNOW YOU LIKE IT
@domino11avhs What about when we're wearing a hoodie and jeans? Women get catcalled no matter WHAT they wear. Don't you wear tank tops or shorts in the summer? Just because women have tits doesn't mean you get to pretend they're not humans.
I love when she chases the man up the escalators! Is there a longer ver. of this?! There should be an updated/longer one! I don't think I'm particularly gorgeous, but I can remember feeling uncomfortable walking down the street in front of passing men making comments and staring since I was 12. NO girl should feel uncomfortable walking down a public street and I hope things change.
Ah.. my favorite one is when a man whistles at you or says something, and after you ignore him he has the nerve to say something like:
Well, I didn't want yo ugly ass anyway.
To the guys saying provocatively dressed women deserve it (by asking for it) - you guys are sick. Perhaps you deserve to be hit by a car for jay walking. Just saying...
If all women had a pact to ignore men on the street, most of us would probably get jumped. Some people feel they're important enough to cross your space.
What I find ridiculous is freakin cafeteria workers at a university hollering at me ACROSS the building to come over and do *****. That's when it really gets out of hand.
I love how she just whips out the camera as soon as someone says something. I'd be scared to death to do that these days.
The most difficult part was listening to the 911 call of a female name Karen... a guy was trying to get in her front door, so she ran to her bedroom and he busted in. You could hear that he was about to rape her and right before the phone went dead she screamed this awful scream. It made my heart stop.
The best part of this short film is when she calls out the jerk who had walked after/followed seven women. His name is Joe. He was on the defense and she completely read him. Told him there was something seriously wrong with him.. that he was unemployed because he was unemployable. He was sweating and said... it didn't matter whether he was employable or not.. and that he had just come from an interview. So in other words, he was an unemployed loser harrassing women.
@justonemorename .... Even women in other countries who wear burkhas are still sexually harrassed and raped. It doesn't matter what a woman wears. What matters are the actions of the people who are harrassing and raping.
I think men who whistle at women do it to be acknowledged. Any response reassures him he exists and she sees him, whether she yells at him, flirts with him, reports him to the police, any of this validates and acknowledges him. If all women had a pact to ignore men on the street, men would eventually stop, but what else would they do to get recognition?
If you go out in public dressed sexy you're asking to be stared at. That's why I don't hold back when I see a sexy dressed woman. I stare to the point of making them uncomfortable, just to get the point across that if they dress like that they're asking for it.

Uh? The media? lol. seriously, I'm cool, i'm not bashing. I just ask that you not see straight guys as bad. Is that so hard to ask? I just think its annoying for her to walk around with a freaking camera. What will she accomplish? Nada!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It seems that some of the men here just looked at her body and got harassed. Naturally, we are animals who are supposed to find the female form attractive. The guys who call out or whistle are a different story. Most, if not all, are aware that this behavior will not help us hook up with a lady. It's only disrespectful and childish and does not represent the casual behavior of average men.
i don't get how the beginning relates to the video. why is she saying that boys said she didn't look good enough in the beginning, yet the rest of the video focuses on men, for lack of a better term, "complimenting" her body so they obviously think she looks good.

The men who can actually say their compliments to the womans' face, when she speaks to them directly, I don't mind. Those are compliments. But when you get the guys who will only say them to her when she's taken unawares, and then get all defensive when she asks them directly to repeat themselves, those are the creeps.

This is complete bullshit. Women dress themselvs in a way that catches the eye and love the attention they get from it. Then they turn right around and call men pigs for doing exactaly what the woman wanted him to do. Women are also just as bad about this kind of shit as men are, women are always looking at men the same way we look at them but they will never admit it.

@onemansrage It's because some men think if a girl is wearing 'revealing' clothing, they want sex. There's nothing wrong with a women's attire, it's the lack of self-control and maturity that some men have that leads to the immature cat-calling and sometimes, unfortunately, rape. Don't be so ignorant by saying ALL women love having guys staring at them and calling them out when they're trying to get through their day. It's not like she stopped and questioned every guy she passed. Only the pervs.

The movement that turned women into ultra easy cum rags. And women even defend this behavior with any irrational excuse they can think of. Can men walk around with their dicks hangin out and demand respect at the same time? I bet not. Women who act like this are pathetic and will never have my respect

i had to watch this video in class the other day, and it makes sense. Men should be taught to respect women. Such as not making provocative gestures towards them. However there was one part that sounded ridiculous. That was when the guy said "so its disrespectful for me to say hi how are you doin?" and the lady says "yes it is".
Another thing that is some what impossible is that. If a woman is walking down the street in barely anything they honestly expect men to not look?

What a thought-provoking little film; wish I could see all of it. It raises many questions, including as to what the roles for men and women actually are now in an increasingly complex and homogeneous world. I'll be honest and say I can't help but look (not stare) at a beautiful woman; it's like looking at a sunset, or amazing landscape. It's in our nature to enjoy the aesthetically pleasing, but in no way does this give men the right to do what they like to a woman, consenting or not.

I think the issue here is where the catcalling comes from. And i think it comes from a chauvinistic attitude that men have towards women. Like they can do what they want, say what they want, and look where they want only because they're men. It's not the looking really, it's the attitude behind it. Case in point, my bisexual gf looking at girls. We as sexual human beings like to look at sexual things.the difference is the attitude behind it. You're actions say how much you respect them.

@MrRiseAboveitall I'm pretty sure most heterosexual men would not appreciate another man catcalling them or 'complementing' them in the street or any other time. Why do you think that is? if they think catcalling is a complement, then logically they would want to be complemented by others even if it was another man. Which goes to show that they don't see it as a complement at all.

Perhaps perspective can be gained if you think of it not from just a woman's prospective but a woman you're close with.
Like a sister, aunt, mother.
If they were harassed, objectified, degraded and humiliated in public, would you tell them that they should have "considered it a complement"?
I am not sure if that helps you understand a bit more, but it's not always intended to be a simple compliment. There a many men who want more.

@Richardcuz420 You're not paying very much attention: What I (or any woman) dress like has no bearing on how I'm treated. We get treated this way regardless of what we wear. As I said, it isn't about skin, it's about power: A man's power to follow/catcall/grope a woman and conversely her lack of power to do anything about it. And maybe my points about stalking seem "exaggerated" because you've never had a guy twice your size follow you for six blocks after you already rejected his advances.

@dirtyyoungexec hmmm you're 36 and a teenager has gotten you to waste time with a YouTube fight? And Who's on the bottom? With all the hours you spend on YouTube as a middle-aged man I'm sure you just must be PULLING in the wimmens. Since I do have a life, I must get back to it, so I will now say goodbye and thank you for proving every point this documentary is trying to make.

If only... talking sense to a troubled teen was a waste... 36 was middle age... I was over 30...
Some brotherly advice... You need to tone down the "crazy"or lots of bad things will be coming your way. Lippy girls who play power games with grown ups, judge men by the amount of women they "pull", but then hate on them for trying to "pull" said women tend to get eaten alive in life... especially in big cities. That someone like you supports this video is a testament to its severe failings.

@dirtyyoungexec Through a few random comments I've gotten you to spend amounts of energy and time spouting out emotion-filled retaliations. Amusing. Must be part of the reason guys bother women on the street. When you get somebody all worked up you take just a little bit of their power. Of course what power do you really have? None. You guys are STILL third class. Started at the bottom and that's where you'll stay. Your responses prove it.

What a complainer, you've got no appreciation of your freedom. Try filming this in Iran, women there can't even leave the house without being escorted by a male family member and even then hidden away under a burka. Don't want men to look at you? This is america: freedom of speech, and freedom to look at whatever's in plain view in public. Don't like it, go to iran and wear a burka. Watch out you don't get stoned in the street over there or get acid thrown in your face.
dave4096 1 year ago
@dave4096 So it's either acid or ass grabs? I don't think so. Luckily I've lived in parts of the world where there are virtually neither. New York City's street harassment is AWFUL. It's not about free speech it's about cowardice.

Ever had any of this happen to you in New York?:
-women are barred from becoming judges
-beaches and sports are sex-segregated
-legal age of marriage for girls is 13
-married women barred from attending regular schools.
-"Bad hijab" ― exposure of any part of the body other than hands and face — is subject to punishment of up to 70 lashes or 60 days imprisonment.
-Siqeh, or temporary marriages (that can last from 30 minutes to a lifetime) ,a form of legalized prostitution.

@dave4096 I'm not saying I'd want to live somewhere like that. The U.S. is a way better place to be a woman than many parts of the world. I don't understand using those Middle Eastern examples though; it's like comparing "cultural" apples and oranges. As far as THIS country is concerned, even with all our relative freedoms women still deal with public harassment every day. Most of us hate it and we'd like it to stop. If this country honors women so much why not respect that desire?
lizajeans 1 year ago
@dave4096 Oh, quit with the "count your blessings your in America" bullshit! The point is that this isn't Iran or Iraq. We have our own issues right here in America to work out and that we're not as enlightened and evolved as we like to presume. Making comparisons to places that have it worse does nothing to solve the problem.

@EmpressJudge13 must be nice to have things so good that you can sit in your comfy life and be an armchair complainer, all the problems in the world are solved so you've got nothing to complain about, so better scratch the bottom of the barrel and come up with something to bitch about or else you'd have to come up with something actually productive to do with your life for a change

@dave4096 I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't hear you over the BULLSHIT. The fact of the matter is that, I should be able to walk down the street without having to worry about being catcalled and groped. Street harassment is a serous issue and using the old "go live in iran" chestnut is a craven attempt to silence me. Well, fuck you, sir. I have a bone to pick with the way things work here. Maybe you're the one who should go to Iran if you don't want to here a woman speak her mind.

@devoutxcynic exactly! it's amazing that we can say this and a million variations of this and yet the powers that be just don't get it! also: to male privilege, i would also add a lack of respect for bodily autonomy and gender expression. the whole situation's totally fucked, but no one seems to know what to do about it.

@lizajeans Did it piss you off when I called your dick tiny? Hmmmm, probably like how us girls get pissed off when we have our body parts shouted about on the streets by strangers.

@lizajeans
Oh, so you were actually checking me out??? Naw, I don't think so. "Tiny penis" = "flat-chested" and is an insult, whereas "great legs" IS actually a compliment. Big difference...
But you are a ball busting, control freak and so you are obsessed with telling men who they can check out and how, not in any nuance.
SNL made fun of hypocritical, spoiled, subjective bitches like yourself when they crafted "sexual harassment and you".

Like I said before this movie relies on sexual shaming and your "tiny penis" remark is exhibit A. But two can play at that game. The problem is with YOUR slutty, loose cunt, not this bi man's anatomy.
Racists, gaybashers and Manhaters (like yourself) love
to obsess over "wrong" sexual activity. But you wierdo's really need to mind your business!
Stop trying to tell folks who to pick up, how to pick them up, where to pick them up and what to do with them after picking them up.

Wow! The white guys are much more belligerent than the men of color. That is totally my experience. White men think they can get away with anything. As a white woman, I wonder if they especially enjoy lording their power of us, as a way to show that White Men still have some sort of power. This sort of behavior is like the proverbial sports car - it's compensating for certain shortcomings.

It is very easy to shame people about their desires... especially in America. And when men are the romantic initiators man haters like Maggie get plenty of opportunity to make us look bad. I could easily reverse the results by asking women "Why are you dressed like that?" or scream "Put on some clothes" with camera rolling and then record their shame. This is not science. It's hate masquerading as education.

Also women are capable of this too. I have male friends who have been groped by women in nightclubs, before all you women out there say it's different and they probably liked it, they didn't.They had girlfriends at the time so they in no way enjoyed it. If that happened to a female, the offender would have been kicked out in 2 seconds,but as my friends are male they are expected to put up with this unwanted sexual harassment. If they complained they would be laughed at by security. Sexist much?

@bsa1987 yeah, double standards sexism... both men and women do it, what can we do about it though -shrugs- people suck :3
Waterfallbabe15 1 year ago
@bsa1987 True, but in the quantity that it happens to women I believe out-weighs that of men. I agree that female harassment is no more justifiable, but did these male friends feel threatened by the women or just offended? Because I think when men harass women it's not just a case of women being offended, but also threatened physically and/or sexually. But your right, unfortunately both sexes, male and female, have their disadvantages...
RosaBlanca457 1 year ago
While making comments, gestures or touching are obviously inappropriate... you can't blame a man for looking. Women can't expect to dress with all their "bits" showing and to have us men not look. There is absolutely nothing wrong about making a passing glance at an attractive woman, (not ogling) but just a glance. It's part of our biology to look at things that attract us (us men should be allowed to admire the wonderful female form, as long as it is from afar it harms no one).
bsa1987 1 year ago
@bsa1987 to be fair, she hardly has her 'bits' showing.. other comments on here say shes dressing 'slutty' please...
Waterfallbabe15 1 year ago
@bsa1987 I agree with you, glancing is one thing, because I mean I glance too and I'm a lady, but the actually physical and verbal harassment is just used as a device to demonstrate male superiority...to make us feel insecure even though the comments are "supposed" to make us secure. It can even be scary... :(
RosaBlanca457 1 year ago
@atozinco Those putting hands on somebody deserve an ass whooping. Those making rude remarks deserve to get cussed out. But thinking you have the right to control others' eyes is ridiculous. And how about women who stand around and criticize every man and woman who walks by. Why not complain about them? How is the fact that some men ogling women without any violence worse than the gawking, glaring, and derision some women visit upon everyone else? Is the male sex drive the only thing ever wrong?
salaciousBastard 1 year ago
I love this documentary, I'm glad that somebody has made a documentary about this - most girls/women have been sexually harrassed (whether they are plain or not), and the majority have experienced this from a young age (12 or 13).
I had been treated respectfully by every man I'd come across until I was about 13 - after that I had to learn to always have my guard up, not smile or make eye contact, and not trust stranger men on the street.
atozinco 1 year ago 3
To put men silently staring at women in the category of sexual harassment is absolute bullshit. For something to be sexual harassment it has to first be harassment. Watching a woman's ass recede into the distance ain't harassment. And the men's defensiveness is proof of only two things: 1)in America sexual desire is a guilty pleasure, period. 2)people naturally get defensive when under attack. The directors own words that her camera was a weapon is proof that she wanted them to feel attacked.
salaciousBastard 1 year ago
@salaciousBastard Are you a guy? If you were a girl who had experienced having a guy (or group of guys) blatantly stare at her for a prolonged time (eg. sitting opposite her on the train and not taking their eyes off of her), you would know how unnerving and scary that is. She doesn't know if this creepy guy (or guys) will follow her off the bus.
atozinco 1 year ago
@atozinco Yeah, I am a guy. So I know that most violence is male on male. Men do stare at other men. And when they do it is often more threatening. Not for sexual reasons, but because a dirty look in the neighborhood I'm from could get you killed. Of course, looks can be threatening. But she approaches men who are silently watching women, who are unaware of it. I look at women all day, but I keep my mouth shut. And they never even know it. Equivocating that with sexual harassment is bullshit.

Ah.. my favorite one is when a man whistles at you or says something, and after you ignore him he has the nerve to say something like:
Well, I didn't want yo ugly ass anyway.
To the guys saying provocatively dressed women deserve it (by asking for it) - you guys are sick. Perhaps you deserve to be hit by a car for jay walking. Just saying...
If all women had a pact to ignore men on the street, most of us would probably get jumped. Some people feel they're important enough to cross your space.

The most difficult part was listening to the 911 call of a female name Karen... a guy was trying to get in her front door, so she ran to her bedroom and he busted in. You could hear that he was about to rape her and right before the phone went dead she screamed this awful scream. It made my heart stop.

The best part of this short film is when she calls out the jerk who had walked after/followed seven women. His name is Joe. He was on the defense and she completely read him. Told him there was something seriously wrong with him.. that he was unemployed because he was unemployable. He was sweating and said... it didn't matter whether he was employable or not.. and that he had just come from an interview. So in other words, he was an unemployed loser harrassing women.

@justonemorename .... Even women in other countries who wear burkhas are still sexually harrassed and raped. It doesn't matter what a woman wears. What matters are the actions of the people who are harrassing and raping.

I think men who whistle at women do it to be acknowledged. Any response reassures him he exists and she sees him, whether she yells at him, flirts with him, reports him to the police, any of this validates and acknowledges him. If all women had a pact to ignore men on the street, men would eventually stop, but what else would they do to get recognition?

If you go out in public dressed sexy you're asking to be stared at. That's why I don't hold back when I see a sexy dressed woman. I stare to the point of making them uncomfortable, just to get the point across that if they dress like that they're asking for it.

It seems that some of the men here just looked at her body and got harassed. Naturally, we are animals who are supposed to find the female form attractive. The guys who call out or whistle are a different story. Most, if not all, are aware that this behavior will not help us hook up with a lady. It's only disrespectful and childish and does not represent the casual behavior of average men.
