The F-word discussion

(edited)

There is a young woman who poses for selfies with men who harass her on the street. The images are profoundly disturbing. She has a passive relaxed face while the men are obviously enjoying themselves.

I don't get men who think it's appropriate behaviour to do that? I can actually remember when I was much younger...maybe 15 or 16...driving to a movie with a group of friends (all male). We passed a young woman, the driver slowed down and the driver and the guy in the backseat made some sort of remark about her hotness. I was actually pretty angry and I gave my friends a blast so thinking that this type of behaviour wasn't right was on my radar way back in the mid 1980s.

Just saw this. Freaking hell.

Ah, sorry I didn't see this post sooner. Yes, I have see @dearcatcallers before. I find it very powerful - especially considering so many of the men seem to react to the selfie as a self-congratulatory thing, as though they are patting themselves on the back for treating someone like an object.
