10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman

[Dirkadirkastan]

That video is less than two minutes cherry picked from ten hours, and only lasts that long because it includes examples of "how are you" and "have a nice evening". While watching this, take into consideration the endless boring hours when nothing happened despite their best efforts to construe everything as harassment. Demand for the full ten-hour video and see if it still has the same effect on you.

The actual point of this is to raise not awareness, but hysteria supporting the expansion of state power. It requires hysteria because no rational argument would lead to a solution of aggrandizing the biggest harasser of them all to solve harassment.

I bet a hundred bucks this guy also thinks "If you wear provocative clothing, you're just asking to get raped."

Boy, is this video missing the point too. They might as well have said "Well 'GETTING HARRASSED' (dismissive wank motion) might be bad and it's adorable that you're trying to do something about it, BUT WHAT ABOUT ISIS?"

That quote is a strawman of safety advice.

If I leave my car doors unlocked and the windows down, would anyone think I "deserve" to have my stereo stolen? If you advise me to lock the doors and roll the windows up next time, are you "blaming the victim"? Is my response of, "Don't tell me to secure my car, tell the thief to stop stealing stereos" appropriate?
