You still don't understand that she is a woman? A real female woman. That's what she is.
As I noted previously.. And?
What makes her opinion more important than every other woman's?
That's not what she said in the quote I posted in this thread. Did you read it? It said:
She didn't use the word harassment. Not once! I know you want her to say that, but she didn't. If you read the quote word for word, she never says the word "harassment". Not once. Do you see the word harassment where it isn't? That's a really weird deal you have going there.
So she does not have a problem with strange men walking up to her and commenting on her clothes (ie street harassment). What does this have to do with the women who do?
I mean, are we all supposed to drop everything and agree with her because she is on your the morning talk show you seem to watch?
Sure, but who harassed someone? Are you judge and jury? Are you the authority on harassment, or is Gayle?
Well the woman on the video was harassed. A lot of people who viewed it saw it as harassment.
Who is Gayle and why should I or anyone else care if she thinks that the girl in the video should have twirled and said thank you to random strange men stalking her and harassing her in the street? What makes this Gayle person's opinion more worthy of consideration over other women?
You don't, but you kept asking, and I kept telling you, she is a woman that expressed her view on TV.
And as I keep saying.. And?
Why do you keep insisting that I care who this Gayle is and what she says on TV? Because she is a woman? Good for her. So am I. I fail to see why I should care who she is or what she says?
I never said, nor did Gayle say the word harassment. That is your imagination hallucinating that Gayle said the word Harassment. She didn't, those are your made up words. You are inserting words into her mouth! She didn't say that. Do you c.o.m.p.r.e.h.e.n.d??
Well this is a thread about street harassment and you quote morning TV personality saying she would twirl or whirl or whatever and say thank you to men who approach her and comment on her clothes. Usually when strange men or women start doing that, it's classified as street harassment. Or when people catcall is also classified as street harassment. This Gayle person seems to think it would only be bad if the guy tried to rape her. Okay. That is clearly her opinion. She is welcome to it.
So why should I care who she is (despite your repeated assertion that she is on TV, I don't really care about TV or who appear on it) or what she says? Why is her opinion worth more than other women?
I am not offended. I actually predicted that you wouldn't give a crap what a real woman had to say.
Real woman?
Is she a real woman because she is on TV?
Do you think the woman in the video is a real woman? Or not a real woman?
No, I'm appalled that you ignore what a real woman had to say on the matter. Not to your liking, so you brush it off as not worthy of your acknowledgement?
You keep saying real woman. What makes her a real woman as opposed to all the other women who view it as harassment? Or are they not real women because they are not on TV? Nancy is a real woman and she thinks it is harassment. Does that mean I should not believe how she feels about it because she is not on TV?
You seem intent that I somehow comment on what Gayle had to say. As I have repeatedly said now, Gayle is very welcome to her opinion on the matter. Like most people, she has an opinion on it. Does not mean that what women experience is not harassment. I get it, I do.. You think that because she said it on TV, that it somehow nullifies how other women (also "real women") feel about it. I happen to disagree with her assessment. So what?
Do you have something against women? I take offense to the way you degrade women that way.
How did I degrade what she said by saying she is entitled to her opinion just as I am entitled to mine and Nancy to hers?
It is interesting that you keep saying "real woman".. As opposed to someone who is not a real woman?
Because she is a woman voice to be heard!! Not interested in what a woman has to say on the matter???
Once again.. Since you seem to have a few issues with comprehension.. Gayle is entitled to her opinion and she is free and welcome to it. It does not mean that other women do not have opinions on the matter.
How is this silencing her or not being interested in what she has to say? What I said was that why does what she has to say matter to me or any other woman for that matter? We all have our own opinions based on our own experiences and what we witness. It seems Gayle thinks it is only bad if the person tries to rape her. I happen to disagree with her assessment. So what? Should I be rendering my clothes and wailing that I disagree with a woman on TV?
So we can all hear what she has to say about how she thinks it's harassment in the video.
Why do you need to?
Is Gayle not enough for you?
Did I say her opinion is less worthy? I encouraged you to invite her here and we can all get to hear what she has to say. How does that equate to "less worthy" in your cranium?
Sure. Get Gayle to join and we can all have a great shin dig.
Why don't you?
But let's see what camp you fall into as a woman:
1. Man hater.
2. Hollywood Star lust for attention.
3. Someone that is interested in hearing what woman have to say on the matter.
1) Hardly. But keep trying.
2) This does not even make sense.. Although you do seem somewhat hung up on famous people on TV, in the music industry or movies.
3) Yes. And?
You seem so intent that I take the word of TV personalities and run with it. Your sexism seems to follow the line of thought that because she is a woman, then I must somehow pay more attention to her. The whole 'but she's a woman' thing you have going there is a bit weird, to be honest. She, like everyone else, has an opinion on the matter. So what?
