10 hours of walking in NYC as a woman

A lot of feminists do, a lot don't. Feminists dont all share the same exact beliefs

Can't thrown them all together

Do you really want to even entertain feminist opinions? They're full of contradictions and hypocrisy.

A survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2010 found 36% of Japanese males aged 16 to 19 had no interest in sex - a figure that had doubled in the space of two years.

I met two otaku, who believe themselves to be in relationships with virtual girlfriends.

This girlfriend is actually a Nintendo computer game called Love Plus, which comes as a small portable tablet.

Nurikan and Yuge take their girlfriends, Rinko and Ne-ne, on actual dates to the park, and buy them cakes to celebrate their birthdays.

"It's the kind of relationship we wish we'd had at high school," says Nurikan.

In the game he is a 15-year-old, though in reality he is 38.

"As long as I have time, I'll continue the relationship forever," says Yuge, who is 39.

"As she's at high school, she picks me up in the morning and we go to school together. After school we meet at the gates and go home together... In the game I am 17."

hough Yuge would like to meet a real woman, and Nurikan is married, they say this is easier than having a real girlfriend.

"At high school you can have relationships without having to think about marriage," says Yuge. "With real girlfriends you have to consider marriage. So I think twice about going out with a 3D woman."

Nurikan says he keeps Rinko a secret from his wife, and hopes he never has to choose between them.

It's hard to avoid feeling that otaku are in a perpetual state of childhood and are quite comfortable with their lives this way.

Exactly why they have retreated into fantasy land is not obvious.

Feminist opinions are addressed so that we can lessen the affect on young girls.

We should try to keep this mentality limited.

 

[Deafheaven]

follow or stalk?..I believe there is a difference...also I thought being followed was something we all have to live with because during that zimmerman trial I was told repeatedly that following someone ain't a crime or wrong...now it is?!--...
*still playing*

Slept on post

LMAO! Yeah I heard that this is a big thing in Japan. The Japanese are a weird people. I swear the two nukes done by America seriously must've done a number on their pride.

 

[Wild self]

Why are you going back and forth with that coward?

Cause he believes that I'm the enemy and spreading false info to coli chicks. He probably sell me out to some white supremacists if he wants to.

I hold some feminist opinions but also disagree w/ a lot. Esp white feminism.

I'm just saying just because two people consider themselves both feminists don't mean they all share the same beliefs. They're both two people w/ their own perspective and minds and don't all share & agree on things.

A feminist who is anti-porn and thinks that prositution is "exploiting" the female body isn't one I'd probably never converse w/ or want to be friends. That's like some extreme right wing feminism.

I used to be a feminist. I still hold some feminist beliefs, but I also kinda distanced myself because the extreme feminist are annoying and I realized a lot of them, may mean well.. But feminism is actually supposed to be, or used to be for men, as well as women, too. And a lot of feminists I find aren't like that.

Feminism is really supposed to be like humanism, but it's not.

So now women DON'T want men to court them.. Got it!

So that means women now will pay their half for dinner?

And I'm going through the door first.

they've checked out

women actually pay men to go on dates and to be their bf, ish is liek the total opposite than here

In Japan, it's not uncommon for successful women to pay attractive young men huge sums of money for a few cocktails and an hour of platonic companionship.

That's what happens when a country tries to socially isolate itself.

 

[semtex]

That's why i hardly look at these bytches.

Its a she

and she is a coward from Africa (who ran to America) who called her own people ignorant and savages because of ebola

She is worse than a white supremacists

But is ITT complaining about "street harassment"

 

[jerome]

"is it cause im ugly"

whew.

 

[blackzeus]

It just baffles my mind.
Some women want to set the ground rules for everything.

Who can approach them.
When they can approach them.
Why they can approach them.
How they can approach them.

I had a coworker complain that a guy hit on her as she walked to the office .
You're absolutely right. That guy who said hello to you on the subway during your commute to work was such a piece of shyt. He should have waited until 6pm on Saturday during a 3 minute window at the Pumpkin Patch upstate as your 4 other girlfriends took a bathroom break, and he should have been wearing a brown sport coat with a cotton skinny tie with dark jeans, chukka boots and no more than 18 hours of facial hair growth.

Go fukk yaself.

Bish use your cell phone and call 911. What has life come to when you can't holler at chicks anymore on the street? We gon' front like she didn't have a phat azz? I'm pretty sure washboard azz Jane Suzieberger doesn't have the same problems. That would be like me walking with meat strapped to my exterior in a dog pound and complain as to why all these dogs are barking

wow this ish is everywhere now

On an August day in New York City, Shoshana B. Roberts was harassed 108 times — by her definition.

The whole thing was caught on video by Hollaback, an anti-street harassment advocacy group, and edited into a two-minute public service announcement. Clad in jeans and a black T-shirt, Roberts walked around New York for 10 hours following filmmaker Rob Bliss, who had a camera hidden in his backpack.

One man says “Hello, good morning,” then follows Roberts for five minutes. Another says, “What’s up girl? How you doin?” When she doesn’t respond he reprimands her: “Somebody’s acknowledging you for being beautiful.”

“Smile,” one man says. She doesn’t. He commands her again: “Smile.”

“Not a day goes by when I don’t experience this,” Roberts told NBC. Her experience isn’t unusual. Many women experience street harassment in the form of catcalls, winks or even simple greetings like “hello” that take on a different meaning when they come from a stranger staring at your breasts.

It happens at night. It happens during the day. It happens while walking to work, running in the park or shopping at the mall. In a segment for The Daily Show, Jessica Williams explores the gauntlet of street harassment she runs just to get to work.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three women has experienced what they call “noncontact unwanted sexual experiences,” which include street harassment. Another recent study by a group called Stop Street Harassment found two-thirds of women out of 2,000 polled nationally had experienced street harassment. Twenty-three per cent had been touched by their harasser, and 20 per cent had been followed.

Some suspect both estimates are low. “I was actually surprised that the number of women harassed wasn’t much higher,” the Guardian’s Jessica Valenti wrote of the study, adding: “Maybe what we know is harassment has become so expected and commonplace we almost don’t identify it as notable anymore.”



Within hours of posting the video online, Hollaback tweeted that Roberts, the woman featured in the video, had received rape threats and asked followers to help police YouTube comments by reporting threats.

Other commenters admonished Roberts for wearing tight clothes, suggesting it is women who are responsible for what comes out of men’s mouths.

Many commenters on YouTube, Twitter and Websites where the video was reposted expressed skepticism that phrases like “have a good day” or “good morning,” which Roberts counted as harassment, met the definition.
