OK sure, this video is a joke. But it's illustrating an important difference in the way women and men experience street harassment. What's absolutely not a joke were the reactions of so many who tried to legitimize the catcalling in the original video


Ten hours of silent walking through all areas of Manhattan, wearing jeans and a crewneck t-shirt.

Hey powerful.

Hey Harvard. Hey Harvard. Wanna network? You wanna network with me?

Hey you look really desirable but I'm going to respect your privacy.

Hey, champ. You like football?

Hey, you want a job? Can I get you a job?

Hey man, high-five!
