Non's gonna do a racist & sexist thread....

I think this issue doesn't have enough social nuance. I feel uncomfortable grabbing my pitchfork and torch when that video was a uniquely big city video. I've lived in mid to large sized towns my entire life, never a city... and I have always lived in communities that recoiled at any kind of flirting with women in public that didn't have a friendship or some other dynamic as a prerequisite.

I'm not saying cat calling doesn't happen in smaller population areas... but as bad as that video makes it look, if it isn't heavily edited, is absolutely a big city phenomenon, and relegated to the streets she was walking on.

Again I'm not saying it's not disgusting... and really dim-witted... and in multiple instances in that video I literally felt irrationally worried for her...

but this isn't a universal problem with the American male population.

also, nuance doesn't have to mean race or gender... it can mean simply the long-held dynamics of a given community regardless of it's makeup.

I think this thread is a prime example of what happens when people over think something as simple as approaching a person you don't know.

Don't act like a creepy pig, and there probably won't be any problems. Problem solved.
