10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman
 

Hey its this guy. Got anymore pics of dead people covered in shit?

I didn't click your video because it tried to mislead me. How can it be 10 hours of walking if it is less than 2 minutes long?

Wow, I can only imagine what an actual attractive woman has to go through .

Saw that on the news. Some dudes are just creepy.

I was hoping you weren't coming back. Fucking dick.

As for the video - I guess African Americans are just very social people...

CIALIS is indicated for the treatment of men with erectile dysfunction (ED), men with the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Stop worrying about my penis and concentrate on getting your hosting bill paid.

Yeah that was terrible it must be really hard to get called beautiful all day

I worry about you man.

Difficulty Starting Urination
Urinary hesitancy can slowly become a problem over time with BPH. An enlarged prostate can press against the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. Subsequently, it becomes increasingly more difficult to begin urination. It can take longer to build sufficient pressure for urine to pass this restriction.

Eventually, this can lead to urinary retention, in which you become unable to urinate. The bladder swells and becomes painful. This can be a medical emergency due to the potential damage to your kidneys.

Red Light Green Light?
Starting and stopping urination can be a frustrating symptom of BPH. The enlarged prostate can press on the urethra, preventing urine from easily flowing out of the bladder. Even if the urine stream starts, the flow can be interrupted frequently. You may try to force out more urine by straining surrounding muscles

Weak Urine Stream
It might take a very long time to empty your bladder when you have BPH because of a weak urinary stream. You may find yourself spending a very long time standing in front of the urinal. If the urethra is partially blocked due to pressure from the prostate, only a small flow of urine can escape the bladder, resulting in weak urine flow and a long, long wait for empty.

Dribbling at the End of All Things

You may have the uncomfortable problem of thinking you?ve finished urinating, shaking a bit just to be sure, and then tucking yourself away? only to be surprised as a little bit of urine dribbles out into your underwear.

The urethra is not simply a straight tube. With weak urine flow and the pressure build up behind the restriction created by your enlarged prostate, urine can collect in the upper part of the tube. Even when you think you are finished and you no longer feel any more urine in your bladder, that extra bit can come out as you relax.


UTI Woes

Retaining urine or inefficient emptying of the bladder can result in an increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). Strain on the bladder and urine remaining inside the bladder for too long can create an environment in which bacteria thrives. A UTI can aggravate certain BPH symptoms such as urgency, making it increasingly likely you will be visiting the bathroom more frequently. You may also have pain during urination or potentially cloudy or bloody urine. A fever may also be possible. Most doctors will check for a UTI if you complain of urinary symptoms. UTIs are often treated with antibiotics before medications are taken for BPH-related urinary symptoms.

dafuck are you talking about? While some were nice, most from the video were blatantly harassing her, BIG TIME. Even uncomfortable to watch. Not only terrible, but terrifying, you never know what some sicko like that could do.

The only thing impotent around here is your half-assed attempt to make a career as a photographer.

UTI, really? lol


.

You really need to get that checked out man UTI are serious at you advanced age. When is your colonoscopy appointment? At your advanced age it's important.

I love our conversations I want you to be around for a long time. Maybe you can visit me for Christmas one day. It beautiful here with all the snow.

Not this piece of shit again. How many weeks will he last this time before another ban?

i dont quite understand why its narrowly defined as a womens issue when most people in manhattan deal with harrassment. It comes from squeegee men washing your windows, dudes selling roses to cars stuck in traffic, street vendors pushing their garbage, drug dealers pushing oregano on suckers.

its more of attractive peoples burden than a womens issue. ask any hollywood star.

:2 cents:

I mean she got called beautiful 30 times. Thats really terrible or not. A coule were a bit much but most harmless.

They did pick a girl with a phat azzs n big ole tittays wearing tight clothes.... What did they expect.

Most are just friendly and making conversation. Not that bad if you ask me, just friendly;-)

Wow, a woman in NY being harassed by minorities? No one could have seen that coming! Although, technically, that wasn't harassment, since harassment = catcalling + privilege, and minorities don't have privilege according to social justice warriors. Therefore, this liberal, white, privileged "victim" is not a victim at all.

Dyke should feel lucky that black guys would want to fuck her. :thumbsup

If she found that uneasy, she should try doing the same thing in Riyad, dressed like that.

It doesn't matter what city in world there will always be tactless guys.

If she would walk in here, she would have much easier walking, as excluding growing dumber of refugees, it's not in our culture to "Hey baby" girls on the street. Although the streets she walked on the video, seemed a bit "ethnic", walking amongst some pale faced suit men would have been a bit different case.

What's wrong with all those people??? :helpme

It doesn't matter if it's nice or creepy....just imagine having people try to interact with you everywhere you go. Depending on who you are, that could be a living hell after a while.

Also, the weakest guy could probably have his way with a strong girl so it might feel a little threatening too.

And when has that shit ever worked? Why keep doing the same shit over and over with the same result? The girl walking away from you. At that point you're just being an asshole.

thanks for the propaganda.
This video is racist

I don't see anything wrong with that video, just one semi-creepy guy walking beside the girl for a few minutes and even that's in a perfectly non-threatening manner.

Did I miss something?

Is it ok in your country to verbally harass an unknown woman? The only country I saw something like that was Turkey (sorry I've never been to Bulgaria).

I agree.

There were 1 or two guys who followed her which was borderline harassment but I also didn't see anything else wrong.

i see lots of hot women in the streets and have never seen one spoken to like that except once. and again, it was a "minority" doing it.

Well, that was a long walk :upsidedow

Time to hear the Reddit feminists

http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromoso...nts_greetings/

Between the original video and the parody one, I see a lot of the same reactions, generally from men. "But that's not catcalling! Lots of people just wanted to say hi or good morning!" "She gets more compliments in 10 hours than I get all year." "How am I supposed to get to know someone if I can't even say hello?" "Ok, maybe being talked to is annoying, but come on...harassment?" and "Oh, yeah, it must be REALLY HARD being attractive." I get it. I understand that when you haven't experienced something, it's hard to understand. So I'd like to give to a brief explanation as to WHY it feels so awful to be shouted at every few minutes while you are just trying to exist in this world.

Let's pretend you have something lots of people want. Maybe you're famous or rich or powerful. In fact, let's go with something lots of people on reddit understand: let's say you're a whiz at computers. You've always been great at them, and when you hit college you finally decided to make it your career.

Of course, people know you're a whiz. When you were in high school, your parents always had you fix their computer, and maybe they made you go over to your grandparents house and teach them how to do simple stuff on it. It wasn't a big deal, and you liked using your skill to make other people happy. It made you feel good to be acknowledged for your talents, too.

But as you've grown, your social circle has widened, and now that it's your career path, everyone knows that you're a whiz. And the requests start coming more often. Your friend thinks he has a virus. Your cousin who you never speak to is having an issue getting his printer to work. A facebook "friend" wants to make a wordpress site and heard you were good at that. Your brother in law just can't get his wireless router set up.

It starts to really grate on you. You recognize a pattern...someone whom you don't talk to that often will send you text, email or facebook message, and it always starts off nicely with the "how are you"s, but within 3 or 4 minutes of small talk they will get to what they really want. You realize that the more you do for people, the more they want; and if you accommodate everyone, you would never have any time for yourself. So you decide to start being more assertive and tell people (nicely) "no."

Well, that was a fucking mistake. There is now hostility in your family because no one can understand why you were so rude to Uncle Joe, it would have just taken you a half hour to set up his new monitor, why would you be such a dick about it? And now you've been unfriended on Facebook by several people, your boss is pissed and you're worried now about job prospects down the line.

You obviously handled that poorly, you think. But you're still unwilling to spend 5-10 hours a week doing favors for people who seem pretty ungrateful, so you just change the way you deal with requests. You don't sign on to social media much anymore, and emails keep getting "lost." You try to ignore as many requests in as many ways as possible, thinking that if you don't say no, people won't get angry. Weeeeell, that was a lost cause. People are just as mad as before. In fact, it seems that the only thing that will make people happy is to do what they're asking...no one seems to care how this impacts you, because they just want what they want when they want it.

This starts to color all of your other interactions. Now, every time an old friend randomly wants to reconnect with you, you get a knot in your stomach. You read emails knowing that at the end of all of the sucking up and small talk, there's a good chance for an ask at the end. And because you've had so many hostile reactions when you tried to stand up for yourself, all of these reactions are now colored with that. Maybe your old middle school crush really is just trying to say hi, but you've been through this before and you know the odds are on the fact that she wants something from you. This is now the way you look at most people. It wears you down. You don't understand why people can't respect your right to just be left alone, and why you can't find a space that is free from all the asks. You know your dread at seeing a simple facebook message seems unreasonable, but damn. If people only understood how many you get, and what it has led to. It's become a big thing in your life somehow, and you fucking hate it.

Now, this little comparison isn't really the best, because it doesn't deal with the actual scary shit that women get constantly...being followed in the streets, sometimes with people in cars. A guy walking down the street and putting his arm around you while he starts a conversation. The touching. The slurs of "slut," "cunt," or "whore" when you ignore someone. The threats. The occasional actual violence.

So yeah, I guess some people see someone saying, "Mmmmmm...good morning, mami!" as a nice greeting. But when it is constant, when it is colored with years of experience, when you JUST WANT TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND LIVE YOUR LIFE....it is gross. So gross. Someone earlier mocked the fact that it was only 100 example of harassment in 600 minutes. When you have random strangers (an ALL men) talking to you every five minutes, when it seems like they all want something from you and there is no good way to respond to it, a simple twenty minute stroll just becomes exhausting.

Sorry for the length of this, and I doubt anyone will read this novel I've just written, but I wanted to explain why this feels the way the way it does for people who simply can't sympathize. I hope this maybe helps a couple of people understand why even "innocent" interactions feel very charged for the women who experience them.

Where does the money go?

with the exception of the creepy follower and the idiot with the head band, NONE of them were out of line.

We have become so fucking PC these days, you can't tell a woman in an office she looks lice without having to deal with a harassment claim. Its sad

What is your budget, and how many staff do you have?

Our budget for fiscal year 2013-14 is $280,000. We have three full-time staff members and receive over $500,000 in in-kind donations per year. For example, our graphic design is done by Kristen Meloche, and our copy writing by Dominique Osborne — all pro-bono. Our legal work is done pro-bono by the legal firm MOFO and Trust Law. These pro-bono calculations don’t include the incredible work of all our site leaders internationally. We estimate that if we calculated their volunteer work into our organizational budget our annual budget would top $5 million.

Aside from this PR stunt / Viral media produced video and questionable donation request...

In a world were people tend to turn on the cell phones and tune out the world, has it come to a point when even a simple hello is now harassment.
There were a few people, yes they were guys, just doing their job of standing in-front of stores to great people to increase awareness of the store etc..

90% of this wasn't cat calls etc.. 2 were a little creepy, but I'd expect on a 10 hour walk in a highly populated city you would have a strange person or 2 cross your path.

If I understand this correctly I'm not to talk to anyone I don't already know ever.

What if a guy she likes but didn't know said hello to her, I'll assume she is straight .. would that be harassment or do the rules change when you unknowingly and silently like the person saying hello?

Maybe she would be better off wearing a burka and then no one would notice her.

Or perhaps she would like to see what it's like NOT to be desired being FAT.

Or perhaps she would like to see what it's like NOT to be desired being OLD.

Or perhaps in a wheelchair...Geez some people you just can't please!

She should consider herself fortunate to be in a group of women that society has deemed desirable. Use the right mindset and keep perspective.

we must have a different kind of culture over here - at least that's what i take from the replies in this thread.

but i found the behaviour of most guys in that video highly questionable and yes, even harassing. As a woman I would feel very unpleasant if that happened to me on a daily basis

to me this is animal like behaviour

The things I read I expected awful comments. I didnt see anything crazy, lots hi beautifuls how are you doing? I agree and didnt understand.

That's pretty much what it was, a PR stunt.

Add the word harassment and you have controversy = viral.

Well concluded.

They are b......... brilliant conversationalists

In the street, people stop me to sell their crap....
