I am generally probably more sympathetic to modern feminism than most here, but I will say that middle class or affluent white women in America should check their own privilege before pushing every issue they face to the forefront of a movement about equality. To be clear, I do think there are women's issues that need to be addressed, but there are many sources of inequality and as you pointed out non, there is something very uncomfortable about the predominantly black men being portrayed hitting on this white woman in the video.

this is why intersectionality is impossible in feminism because it invariably leads to issues that AREN'T caused by straight white men and it creates huge waves.
why are we getting more tribalistic non? tell me it'll be okay.

showing that one oppressed class willingly follow the prevailing social milieu to harass another oppressed class doesn't demonstrate "why intersectionality is impossible in feminism". It demonstrates how f**k up our society is, and how unaware of it the members of our society are.
why should anyone get harassed all day? its f**k up.

apparently the video has been selectively edited to remove the majority of white men so the final video is skewed in that regard.

Pretty big difference between being hit on and being cat called. One is to be expected, the other is extremely rude and not at all acceptable.
