10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman in Hijab

Interesting social experiment. What do you think?

But I think thats the point of the video. By wearing modest clothes, you're less likely to attract the attention of perverts. If they can't see your beauty, perverts are less likely to comment or harass you.

Another thing that never seems to be touched on is why would these guys even say anything if they didnt occassionaly get a favourable response.
For me it is toe curlingly cringeworthy to approach a woman like that and something I would never do, but not only do women do it to really good looking men, they both do it because the get favourable responses now and then.

It might just be me, but I've never seen a woman approach/hit on/make comments (e.g. "hey good looking", "I'm watching that ass" like in the video in OP) to a man in the street.

And my point is that all these videos are now doing is repeating the same thing over and over again in slightly different ways, and that what they are saying is something which was already known by everybody.

The other thing that pisses me off about these videos is that the majority of the clips that they show are not harassment, they're not rude, they're not obscene, they're not predatory, and they sure as hell don't show that the people involved have any bad intentions and yet they all try and drive home the message that men are disgusting pigs.

If I'm walking along the street and somebody attractive walks past me then I am liable to turn my head and look. Am I a pervert? No. Am I a potential rapist? No (although if you asked most feminists they'd probably say yes because apparently now all it takes to be a potential rapist is to have possession of a penis). Am I going to do anything inappropriate or obscene? No. All I'm doing is having a quick look at somebody who is attractive and has put effort into looking good.

These videos all seem to be trying to turn everybody against men by driving home the message that if a man looks at a woman then he's a pervert, if he tries to talk to a woman then he's a pervert, if he makes any comment about a woman then he's a pervert and that quite frankly is a load of complete and utter bull****.

Okay I understand the point that you're making, truly and to be quite honest, I agree to an extent

Although, I'm 17, I'm a Muslim and I don't wear the hijab - I, however, still dress very modestly (long sleeves, no shorts etc) and I still get comments like the girl initially did, usually from older males. But, would you agree that when you look at the age gap, it can lead girls like myself to feel somewhat uncomfortable and at times a little vulnerable?

(That does not mean to say that every single male who looks at a girl has awful intentions but we are human, so making an assumption like that is natural.)

I know you said you would turn back to check out (for lack of a better phrase) someone you think is attractive, but would you directly make a comment like some of the guys did? (just out of curiosity)

Why are they showing the guys who just looked at her? Is it a crime to look at someone now?

I glance/look at attractive women. It's like a reflex.

Lol I just want to comment on your username. Any coincidence with the youtuber?
