LOL, once you brush aside all of your ad hominem and your illogical argument (e.g. straw man) here is the bottom line, you have no evidence the video clip in question has not been staged.
Yeah, let's all have a big LOL about harassment of women, joe.
You know it wasn't staged.
Why can't you stand up for what you actually think? That this kind of harassment of women on the street is acceptable?
And if, not, tell me where you draw the line (see link in my previous post). Or are you going to avoid answering that, too - just like the others who have been excusing harassment?
You accept what this woman has said without question.
It's right there in the video. Did you watch it? It's not her telling stories. You can see and hear the guys making the comments. You know they aren't actors.
Look: why would anybody bother faking a video like this? I previously advised you to briefly search the internet for what women have to say about street harassment. Clearly you didn't do it.
Are you really going to argue that a video like must be faked in order to get this kind of footage? Do you really think that street harassment of this type doesn't occur? You're not
that naive, are you Joe?
Wouldn’t you feel funny if a few days, weeks or months from now, it turns out her video and story were fraudulent?
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you're right and this video turns out to be 100% faked. All those guys were actors, etc. etc. Would that then prove to you that street harassment of women doesn't occur, Joe?
And liberals wonder why people think they are odd.
Nice "liberals" jibe, Joe. Always good to try to put a political spin on sexism. Well done. Very clever of you.
One more point, I didn't say or even suggest women are not on occassion harassed on the streets. My comments were limited to this instance and this woman. So you are being more tha a little disingenuous. Just because some women have been harassed, it doesn't mean this woman was harassed and it doesn't mean this video is wasn't staged.
How often do you think women are harassed on the streets, Joe? Do you think it's rare?
And more importantly, how much street harassment do you think women should put up with?
Before you go pointing fingers you need to take a few deep breaths and take a long serious look at yourself friend.
You're not my "friend", Joe.
Notice that
I'm not the one saying street harassment is ok. You are. So, who should take a serious look at himself?
Maybe I am naïve, but then maybe I’ve been around the block a few times. I have worked the streets a major metropolitan city on the left coast as an EMT back in my youth. I have seen more than you can imagine. I have seen many folks like you, folks who thought they knew it all, get schooled in reality and life on the streets. I suggest you look at yourself again before casting aspersions on others.
So, in all your wide experience on the street, you've never seen any evidence of street harassment of the kind seen in the video?
