Seriously?
Ok so there is a video going around made by a woman walking around for 24 hrs in a city that shows how prevalent street harassment is. I needed to watch it before I spoke on it and I finally saw it this morning. It was not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be based on my friend's commentary. I'm not saying street harassment isn't a thing, it has happened to me on occasion but when I watched the video what I noticed is that anytime a man spoke to her AT ALL no matter what he said or what tone he said it in it was filed under harassment. There were definitely some men who were out of line as hell, some who were what I would call borderline and some who were out and out creepy but the idea that a man can't say anything to a woman without it being harassment should not be where the bar is set. Men are not default villains and a "hello" should not be an indictment.
