Capitalization is a waste of time
"We say yo ho, but we don't say ho, cuz ho is disrespectful, yo."ο»Ώ
A woman has a right to a drink or two,
Without worrying about what you will do.
We say "Yo, ho!" but we don't say "ho,"
'Cause "ho" is disrespectful, yo!
No, we don't say "booty" 'less we're talking about gold.
We don't look at chests 'less it, treasure holds.
With a hat and a feather and a cutlass on our hip,
We will never say "she" when we're talking 'bout a ship.
We don't say "bitch" and we don't say "whore,"
'Cause that language leads to things like body dysmorphia.

"A few months ago I was walking with a friend and one guy said things and started to follow us. After a while it ended with me turning around and pepper-spraying his face, then running away in case he could fight back."
So you assaulted an innocent person, and did it using a weapon. In my area that is a felony and you'd be have been sent to prison. What a class act you are. It is too bad no one else around intervened til the cops got there to arrest you.

Judging by the rate at which you're obsessively spamming this thread, I'm inclined to believe you feel threatened by the subject matter. You may consider asking yourself why you feel so threatened by someone asking people to prevent street harassment.
I can tell you one thing - the true men out there don't feel threatened in the least by this thread. Take some time to reflect on that.

I don't "need" to do anything, but I do feel obligated to tell you that you're not staying on topic. This thread isn't about feminism - it's about street harassment. When the videos you link are about street harassment, I'll be happy to watch them. Until then, they're irrelevant.
Changing the topic or using the thread as a platform or soapbox for your own agenda is rude and disrespectful. In addition, it's poor forum etiquette. If you feel feminism is such a problem, feel free to make your own thread with that as the topic.

you dont know the topic it self ... it is feminist act that blame man and they demand us to do thing that female wants but female dont want to do anything that mens ask in return .
you asking us to not to do that and we ask you to not open your body to public it is equal demand form both side. you need to understand that if you ask something form your side you need to hear us form our side too . you telling me how to act in public but you dont want to me to tell you how to act in public . that is called feminist

It's about street harassment. I'm sure of it. This isn't about what men or women want. It's about treating people with decency and respect, nothing more. Stop making everything about you and see outside yourself for a few moments. This thread isn't an attack on your manhood. It's an awareness thread discussing a serious issue.
you asking us to not to do that and we ask you to not open your body to public it is equal demand form both side.
I'm not asking you to do anything except stay on topic. We're not talking about me whipping my dick out. We're not talking about feminism.
We're not talking about prostitutes, potatoes, pizza, or penguins. We're talking about street harassment. Be respectful and stay on topic.

if they respect them self they will not show there body part in public . if they don't respect them self people will not is it hard to understand that female part are not have to seen in public that is disrespectful . only ignorant people who want to see ass ant female chest will be ok with that .half of our public don't like it and as we saw they did not help women's with this kinda problem and they will not do it in future . is it hard to understand that what female wear is the main key to not get called out by other people .
men well help a woman with normal clothing but they will not help a woman with the bad clothing that have been proven in public .
you all need to stop defending them when they are in fault you guys did this that we have this problem.
btw in the area I live I don't see anything but when I go to work in LA I saw it alot why? because women's wearing clothes that open thier body alot vs Glendale and Pasadena or Burbank . they never said where they are from ?? that is another probelms we don't know that that kinda be only thier area that have more shit going on . but generally it all about how they act or wear .

Why don't you swing by my house sometime, asshole, and tell me how my baby sister was asking to be raped. Tell me how she fucking "deserved it".

You're no man. You're no man at all. A man - a real man - never believes a woman is asking for or deserves abuse or rape.
You? You're like an empty scrotum - useless and full of hot air, a dead end in the gene pool. Do the world a fucking favor and don't ever reproduce, if you actually ever manage to find a woman who could tolerate your presence.

Given the total disconnect they have in basic conversational mechanics, I doubt it's going to be much better. They keep admitting they're not even reading replies, while accusing anybody not in agreement of apparently blaming all men for everything, which pretty much means they're playing a private puppet show and occasionally glancing over and saying "You see this asshole here on my left hand? This is you! Why do you hate men so much? You're such an idiot, why do you have my arm up your ass!?"
Language barriers can be a huge speedbump in things, but it's the logical disconnect that will be insurmountable here :P

Comment has been collapsed.
Your 'example' works better in the reverse, because people who smoke with zero regard for others in their surroundings are more analogous of catcallers given they chose not to respect personal space.
Give it up until you find a way around the language barrier (and maybe until you're willing to actually read the stuff you keep criticising)

Not in a world where irresponsible parenting and shitty education is the norm
'Nuff said. Too bad attention is focused on the symptoms instead of addressing the disease.
Comment has been collapsed.
Would address disease as well. Humans not willing to use their wonderful brains. Humans willing to be lower than animals, not ever considering consequences; satisfying desires not necessary for survival but otiose; not wishing to understand empathy, right of others to exist and bloom in full blossom not being touched or ruined with no reason. Yes, harassing and attacking weaker individuals is only one of symptoms.
Educating people, encouraging them to more reason and understanding of the world is something best part of philosophers, religion figures, scientists and governors tried to do for known millennia. Presumably, from the beginning of humanity. Developing knowledge useful for everybody, helping each new generation to improve. There were a lot of local movements through history but now we need a common knowledge base and unite educational approach, world philosophy and basic communication rules for a whole planet. This would in time solve the parenting issue as well since people would be more adequate. But there is no end to disagreements between people, each country, religion, movement etc. War of ideas which never ends. People disagree to perceive themselves as parts of common, refuse to respect the difference. Essential human's drive to feel accomplished being/acting right, acquired not through getting to the truths, but by lazy-simple and ignorant-dirty forcing own old ideas on others.
Alternatives? Planetary-scale control to unify humanity of this planet, broken to bits and stepping too often into regression when there is no supervising. Adults are worse than children, big part of humanity not committing crimes on daily basis mostly because of expected punishments either from civil powers or according to religions. Does reason and knowledge always has to be hammered in people?.. Solutions to irresponsible parenting would be even more grim. "Parents" are way too often themselves just old children executing instinctive and ritual reproduction, who never got an idea of what are they doing and why. To stop people from having children by control and push through more education before allowing to reproduce and essentially before understanding if they need this? But from conservative point of view, this would be a terrible dystopia.
Meanwhile, population of the planet grows and on top of unsolved and perhaps growing problem of mass ignorance it arises extra risks in resource shortage, which can throw huge amount os people in wars and dark ages, cancelling any level of personal guarantees existing now. But attention never gets focused to reason. So many people can't get over even imagining that they can be so far from knowing anything, from understanding where they are moving. Offended, unreasonable, angry.
Comment has been collapsed.
It all goes back to the same thing: parenting. Having good parents who teach their children humanity doesn't guarantee all of their kids will turn out well, but having bad parents who screw their kids up makes it difficult to for any of them to turn out well-adjusted. There is no simple solution, and making the government a "substitute parent" is not the answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
I commented to you initially because of suggestion to focus on "disease" instead of "symptoms" (it is not clear though if they include only immature behaviors or e.g. whole this thread including OP, from your point of view, but it is similar). Your suggestion is that "disease" is parenting. So you don't want to focus on symptoms, but your focus on disease ends abruptly with "There is no simple solution". What was the useful part of message in this? I can not really find so far.
adding If you mean, each person should be a better parent for own children, it doesn't suggest how. Isn't encouraging persons just to be more reasonable, knowledgeable etc. during own life and to be thus a better 'living example' (including parental) for everyone around them of any ages, way more universal? But if such happens "naively", problem is that anyone can think that they are already wise and intelligent when they are not. So this goes back to forming global agreements and knowledge bases for references.
I am "digressing" from.. opinions of others(of yours)? It is called another point of view for example, since I discussed parenting being not a disease. Where from 'good parents' appear? How 'parenting' can be improved itself? Parents are the same people, learned what they know not only from own parents but from a manifold of sources before they got children. We are getting knowledge from similar inherent sources. We can break through this only if considering and working on all of this, our environments, mindsets, etc. including matters spoken in this topic. Things are so connected that if labeling things "symptoms" and unfocusing our attention, everything will be a "symptom" and nothing is solved.

We seem to be having difficulty in communicating with one another.
What I was saying is that active, engaged parenting, with both a "mother figure" and a "father figure" acting as role-models of mature, civilized behavior while reinforcing the limits and boundaries of acceptable behavior as dictated by society at large, is "the norm." As for "the disease" (i.e. the root cause of the majority of society's ills), that is the breakdown of the family unit and the lack of the above.
If you mean, each person should be a better parent for own children, it doesn't suggest how.
You are correct. I only said "there is no simple solution." Even your suggestion of "encouraging persons just to be more reasonable, knowledgeable, et cetera" is vague, and for good reason. We are dealing with humanity, here, with all the countless differences in personality, culture, religion, and environment. What is best for any one individual must be tailored to circumstance, which is why "forming global agreements and knowledge bases for references" is problematic.
To be fair, your idea is "in the right direction," but humanity resists going in one direction. Muslims already have a global knowledge base for reference, but the weakness of such is in the practice (or lack thereof). Even if you have a reference which can be followed in any place, within any culture, at any period in time, and even if the beliefs of the society are aligned with that reference, it only works if people use it. Not all Muslims practice their religion, so the same "disease" which affects the non-Muslims affects many of us. We just lack the excuse of not having the proper tools to cure it.

Not all Muslims practice their religion
I'm glad you brought that up (and my apologies for butting into the conversation with something only marginally related). You specified Muslims (obviously based on your personal experiences with other Muslims - those who actively practice their religion and those who don't), but I believe this statement applies to all religions, particularly lately. While not a religious person myself, it's always been my understanding that religion is, in a nutshell,. "a set of guidelines and lessons by which to model one's life." Seeing religion from that perspective, I've never had a problem with religion or the people who practice - if it helps one person get through one more day, or if it helps one person to becomes a better person, I'm all for it.
However, it seems these days people "use" religion rather than practice it. And by practice, I don't mean going to church or proclaiming they're religious people or condemning others to assuage their own guilt or misdeeds - I mean really practice it, and behave in accordance with the guidelines and lessons set forth in those religions. I'll reiterate - I'm not a religious person - but I have seen religion, when truly practiced, accomplish some pretty amazing things in people (i.e. I volunteer council drug addicts and alcoholics, and have seen firsthand the positive effects faith can have in one's recovery from addiction). I've had the opportunity, thanks to my employment and other personal circumstances, to meet a great variety of people from nearly every religion - and the ones who truly practice their religion, regardless of what it may be, all appear to have one thing in common - the desire to better themselves as individuals.
So yes, in addition to good parenting, which I still believe is the root of the matter, religion - when practiced appropriately and humbly, can also contribute a great deal to changing behavioral patterns and perspectives in people. I'd much rather see people leaning on the cane of religion rather than beating people over the head with it, if that makes any sense at all.

My experience matches yours. Those I have met who openly and actively attempt to practice their religion (all of it, not just pieces of it) seem to exhibit self-control and caring in their dealings with other people. This is not to say that "non-religious" people cannot do the same. In the end, it is all a matter of imposing certain rules of conduct upon yourself.

they feel so hurt over one idiot getting what he deserved for trying to assault me and my friend... it's pathetic to read how they turn the tables and tag me as a criminal.
but that's what happens when you put guilty people at a risk of losing their """rights""" to harass women.
i didn't want to post this but it seems it's required, maybe not for the neanderthals that already plagued this thread with their machimo crap (because they can't see past their own noses), but for people that are mildly interested so they can see what happened.
so i'm clear this up since it's sooo much "fun" for me (yes, thast's sarcasm) to be extra specific. OP edited with more info.

There must have happened something major that you decided to publicly demonstrate your pathetic weepiness. Seems like you are very unatractive; otherwise you wouldn't complain about something trivial as this.
And yes, you deserve such a dismissive reply. Go and be miserable somehwere else. This is an effin gaming forum and not tumblr, Buzzfeed or whatever floats your feminist agenda boat.
This thread highly offends me and even I deserve a safe space on the Internet, being SG. I want to browse the forums having fun, not being accused of being a subhuman being just because of my gender, you disgusting sexist.

thanks for your support, seems you don't care at all about depression and stuff that happens to others.
for someone that feels so alone and depressed, you are quick to dismiss everything said by someone else fighting depression for over 10 years, which is linked directly to street harassment and its consequences.
but keep doing whatever you want, it's obvious you only care about yourself. everyone else can go to hell and die for what it's worth.

I'm actually suffering from multiple illnesses, being anxiety disorder, depression and epilepsy, all of which control my life for the last 10-15 years now. I'm actually fleeing from these online by going to SG so that I can actually enjoy a forum and community without being reminded that I suffer from these. And now there you are, destroying my safe space. Thanks.

π Giveaways (moved to top for convenient leeching π):
If you want to share giveaways, please use this template:
copy everything inside the ` (even the opening/closing `grave accents`), edit and and paste it in your reply
Please use the format provided above! It's easier for me to copy-paste multiple giveaways in this thread. π€
It will take me a few days to update the list. To avoid having your giveaway not "showcased" set its duration to more than 5 days (unless you don't care, it's up to you).
Because I'm tired of getting catcalled and watching others in the street receive the same treatment, I decided to share some information with everyone in SG hoping that they can stop doing it and/or talk to their friends to make them reconsider their behavior.
Street harassment is unwanted and unwelcomed public attention, most often directed at women, which is demeaning and damaging. Itβs not a private matter but one that should concern everyone.
If you have trouble empathising with strangers, then think about your mother, sister, or girlfriend. Would you enjoy watching people catcalling and telling them nasty things? How do you think they would feel about it?
On an average day I go out twice and I get at least one guaranteed catcall. On weekends or when I go out, for example to a club, it gets worse because groups of people feel more empowered to do so.
A few months ago I was walking with a friend and one guy said things and started to follow us. After a while it ended with me turning around and pepper-spraying his face, then running away in case he could fight back. This is the kind of violence it generates.
We had a rough rest of the day and were shaken up. I didn't enjoy doing that at all, but he had to be stopped. I also like to think the guy didn't enjoy it either.
So in the end, what did he achieve? Nothing.
Edit
OK, I'm gonna clear this up since some people like to assume things just to blame me for defending myself.
For the backward people, this was in june when I wasn't wearing "provocative shorts and t-shirts" clothes. These are the "nice compliments" I got amongst others i don't even want to repeat here and/or I want to forget:
hey girl nice butt
does your friend wanna F with me too?
hey reply bitch
come here lesbos!
GONNA EAT YOUR ASS
Walked one block with that guy which was 1 meter away from us. He wasn't shouting from the other side of the street, he wasn't half a block away, he wasn't sitting in the sidewalk. He was right behind us.
He got warned to leave us alone during the whole 1-block fast-paced walk. I didn't stop to "discuss" because I'm not a 1.9 meters 120kg guy, so I'm not putting my friend and I at risk at 8:30pm in the street.
You read the "You're not alone" thread?
Well, most of the stuff that I shared about me is linked directly to an experience related to this, but I wasn't walking with a friend and there were two guys instead of one following me. You can guess what happened next since I wasn't able to defend myself.
But of course, street harassment is harmless and nothing else can go wrong, nor it can trigger unhappy memories from past experiences.
Think a bit before judging others so quickly assuming they overreact when they feel in danger.~
I know I probably won't convince anyone catcalling to stop by posting this (it doesn't hurt to try), but if your friends or co-workers do it, you can persuade or talk to them and see if they get it. There's nothing worse than being in a group of friends and allowing them to act like idiots.
It's disgusting and demeaning, stop it. You're hurting people with your actions and makes you look like a fool.
β€οΈοΈ FAQ, in case you're gonna post one of these comments I get all the time.
- But some women like to be catcalled!
Yes, there's also men that like to get hit in the face with a hammer. So using the same logic, I should go out and hit all men with a hammer in hopes they enjoy it?
- Don't be so sensitive, ignore it.
No, it reaches a point it can't be ignored. It's not an isolated issue once per month or in certain situations so you can avoid it. It also affects me a lot depending on my mood, so when you feel like crap and you get catcalled, things get worse.
- So you want others to come to your rescue when some stranger catcalls you? That will end up with me getting in a fight!
I'm not asking people to fight for me, just them to stop doing it, spread the word, and discourage people in their group of friends from being disrespectful.
- If you don't want to get catcalled, dress appropriately!
1: Don't blame the victim.
2: I dress as I please. It's my body, not someone else's.
3: It doesn't matter if it's winter and I'm wearing a jacket, or summer with shorts and a t-shirt. Some people will be idiots anyway and say things.
- I bet you like it when a handsome guy catcalls you!
Irrelevant. I expect respect from everyone.
- What about men? They also get harassed!
I'm very aware guys also get harassed by both men and women, but this thread is about girls. Feel free to create another thread for that issue, and I will support it.
- So this is just a misandrist rant!
It's not. If you feel targeted by anything I said, then it's not because you're a man, it's because you actions ressemble what it's said here.
- Meh, it could be worse.
It could be worse, but it SHOULD be better. Also, normalizing this behavior makes it even more painful for victims.
- Women also catcall!
I never said they don't, but for each woman that catcalls me, i get 500 guys. So the issue at hand is the one I shared.
- This thread offends me!
That tells a lot about you. Log off, take your time, and think about it.
- This thread is inappropriate for SG, please close and delete it!
Go tell that to all other threads about awareness, politics, religion, sports, disasters, etc.
