I am fed up of men calling out when I walk down the street. I love what his woman did - she wore a video camera and recorded harassment by men.

Does this really happen nowadays in the uk?
I haven't seen it occur in many a year, not since the 90s at least.

Be nice to each other!
shhhhhhhhhhhh
Just realised you've created 15 threads with only 25 posts since 2011, its unlikely you will be back to discuss.
We do not live in that world like a few decades back now.
Work men represent their companies and get done for shouting out stuff like that nowadays.
Not saying that it does not happen at times though with that sentence.
I get remarks and beeped at times still (yes even at this age) and to be honest I just find it amusing and if I feel like it I will reply, but not in a nasty rude way but in more of a witty come back one liner.
What do class as harassment?
Men shouting lewd remarks at you?
Haha nice....
Not in my books it doesn't.
Where do you go to get these remarks shouted at you, what do they shout at you?
I have had men shout stuff at me since being a teenager, then I felt uncomfortable with it due to my young age and would cross the road rather than walk near a group of men working etc.
I am older now and can handle anything without it bothering me.
A lewd remark is not a harassing thing for me to hear at all, but then I am older and wiser now.
so it still happens then you have just become older and immune to it - doesn't make it ok

Defining Sexual Harassment
Some forms of sexual harassment are obvious, such as one person making lewd comments to another
Yes, but not immune as I am not deaf yet.
I can handle a lewd remark without getting on my high horse and calling it harassment by men.
Maybe you will one day too.
It's unlikely that anyone here is especially pro assaulting women anyway.
...
If the point of this is to make people think that looking at someone dressed provocatively is rape or even harassment, then it's possibly a waste of time and effort.
I actually rolled my eyes at that part when the evil man turned his head slightly and it slowed down and he got devil music, maybe I'm just an evil man.
Frankly if you have the right to dress in an attention seeking way, then people have the right to look at you. Not touch you, or make nasty comments though, and that goes for anyone.
Lovely for you but many women do feel uncomfortable and unsafe when they're walking down the street and get unwanted sexual comments. Truth is men don't need to do it (many men manage to go through their whole lives without ever feeling the need to shout out sexual comments in the street!) and they wouldn't lose anything by stopping. They would however stop making women feel uncomfortable so why don't they just not do it?
Shh! she doesn't want to talk about that ;-)
For what it's worth shouting anything at any stranger male or female in the streets is just immature. I would certainly never do it. That's all I have to say on the matter.
Thanks for the support -
My experience (as an observer) is that the situation is much better than it was in the 70s/80s in terms of the CONSTANT comments girls/women would get, the type of comments is much more worse and a simple "go away" does not work.,
Call me racist but in terms of those harassing women, (IMO) there is a definite skew towards those who appear to have a none British heritage.
