Man, i defintely don't see what is funny. The fact, you're defending that, or trolling that topic is already suspect to me.
I prefer to think you don't understand of what we're talking about. To pretend it's not existing in the US is a lie. Or you're never walking down the street, or never use the public transports.
But yeah, hearing what your president is telling about women, i understand such statement.
Frequently, i see and live street harassment. And everybody take that like normal. In some case no, but rarely.
What mean street harassment. For me it's linked with a certain subculture. I even wonder how we can use the word culture for that.
@Cult Icon, comparing that fact with romantism, is such an insult did to the women condition. Because, like @frenchkiki said, through her own experience, when you are 10, 11, 12, 13, more or less, that's not romantism, that's not "street harassment", that's pedophilia.
Like @jkjk said, for long time that subject stayed ignored by the authorities, because the feminists never signaled that. Why ? because it's breaking the PC.
An external factor, that some call "culture" brought their barbarism, in the public square.
Street harassment is a volence. One of the most vicious violence made to women nowadays. A woman, or a girl, can't go to the police station everytime it's happening, simply because it's happening way too often. People get used to it, and take that as a new normal. Which is not, and should never become something normal in our civilization, nonetheless in any other civilization.
But facing that problem ask to face so many other issues from our society, and breaking the current PC. That's why, IMO, some people continue to find that funny, find that normal, or degny it, simply.
