Can we talk about street harassment and catcalling?

[Sharkbiscuit]

“You’re in the lists with all your sh!t”? Say what now?

The lists, where knights joust. Tilt? Whatever you want to call it.

There is no non-confrontational way to confront someone, aka "say something". In my experience, friends let cockblocks slide if they were accidental or you have an explanation. Once or twice.

Someone outside your friends circle who is also the type to catcall? Pretty good chance it's on.

Is Hal especially aggrieved today?

Heavy flow day.

How many of you do this?

How many of you have experienced it?

If you saw another person catcalling would you say something?

If you were the catcaller and another dude called out on it, how would you feel about it?

1 I do not do this

2 I have experienced it

3 No

4 n/a

I flirt with dude’s girlfriends right in front the dudes.

It’s hilariously fun. It shows them just fragile their relationship status really is.

I don’t catcall (ineffective), but I will occasionally slap a bitch.

Sometimes you just have to.

I don’t think so. I think you’re just being contrarian for the sake of it.

flirting is different. It’s harmless and non-threatening, and could lead someplace great.

as long as she consenting to the slapping....more power to both of you.

There’s a good chance it would result in an emergency room visit here. At best.

What about if you’re a white dude and you kick a black woman in the head?

Flirting implies consensual conversation. You can't flirt with someone who isn't talking to you.

I almost got into a fight with a black morrocan chick when we we're deplaning at the Heathrow airport.

I told her to wait her turn.

She got pissed and said, "Oh, are you going to make me?"

This was after a week of dealing with annoying Moroccans.

I was like, "Yeah."

My own thoughts on "verbal harrassment" aside...



The only people that ever do the cat calling type thing out here are black dudes

There it is again.

The idiotic notion that you get to decide what's offensive to someone else.

Nothing is offensive to you because you are emotionally retarded and can't walk in someone else's shoes for a second.

Let alone high heels.

Also, at what point are you going to admit that you're just a racist POS?

 

[GDaddy]

Uhh, ifall didn't say one word about what people do/don't find offensive. Nor did he criticize these poll respondents as being whiny and oversensitive.

Ifallalot did nothing wrong.

I only do it when the man in question is someone like Hal or Fecal.

I wouldn’t do nothing of the sort in muy macho mexico.

I have too much respect for them.

what an embarrassing thread to have started

You hate truth. You put feelings over truth

Empathy is poison

Yeah, you're right. I'm being contrarian.

3 Ways To Intervene When Someone Is Being Catcalled

If you see something, say something.

www.oprah.com

Call him out like a crossing guard
Command "Stop!" with an outstretched arm and open palm. Taking charge can stun and disempower a harasser who anticipated a submissive response.

Go show us how it's done with a GoPro. You're not far from Camden or Newark or some sh!t. Be an ally. A Hal-ly!

And don't wear your skate shoes and skinny jeans. Throw on trunks and lace up the Nikes because you're going to be Sir Halahad the Chased.

 

[Ifallalot]

A good dog obviates the need for catcalling. I have a collie and I get stopped all the time. Not for my looks, but for my dog’s majestic beauty.

I'm jealous man. I want a Collie

Did you just pull this out of your ass or can you back it up with statistics?

Its called living outside of a bubble
