I live in South Florida, and mostly around black people. Most of the men greet me, engage in conversation, or just joke around. I don't consider that street harassment. Some women are calling it street harassment if a man asks for their number or looks at them.
To me this is a street harassment
-Touching you inappropriately in public (grabbing your body parts)
-Making lewd sexual comments towards you (Hey I you got a nice big butt)
-exposing themselves sexually to you
I only see this type of behavior in straight up savage hood environments where the men were raised by single mothers.

knew it was coming
I'm telling you what I see. When I go to my public library, campus, local stores, functions, gatherings, and etc I don't have men grabbing my body parts or disrespecting me. Even when I'm on the street. I walk places a lot because a lot of stores are near by my house. Most of the men are kind to me. Now I have faced street harassment, but most of those dudes harassing women on the street are savages. When was the last time you say a group of middle school teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, computer engineers, accountants, engineers, and etc harass women on the street? A man asking for your number, complimenting you, or trying to start a conversation with you is not street harassment.

Most men that harass women on the street did not grow up with fathers. Go to your nearest hoods and the savages the harass women on the street are raised by single mothers. The one's that have fathers in their lives were taught not to do things like that and see it as pathetic.
how can you tell who's raising these "savages" just by going to the nearest hoods? How can you tell who has a father in their life simply by being in a specific location, are you suggesting that single mothers are incapable of raising men who don't harass women, are you suggesting that men who are raised by single women don't respect the women raising them?
This is very odd rhetoric coming from a woman but it sounds par for the course with male coli posters, I wonder why that is.

LOL you are joking right?
1. I lived in the hoods of Miami growing up. MOST of those children did not have fathers in their lives. Most of the mothers procreated with bummy men. There was only a very few that has fathers (VERY VERY VERY few). Also if the father was in the house it was a bummy dude that laid up under the womans roof eating food and doing nothing. The one's with good fathers in their house and living under the roof rarely let their kids come out to play. I was considered boujie because my mother and father did not let me play with the kids, because most of them were headed in the wrong direction.
2. A lot of men raised by single mothers are hyper sensitive. A lot of the men raised by single mothers do hold a type of resentment towards their mother because there was not really a man around to teach them how to be a man or help them in their coming of age process. Also people rarely talk about, but you would be surprised at the amount of single mothers that verbally/physically abuse their sons. A lot of these mothers also do a bad job at raising their sons. Fathers are needed to direct and guide children as they enter their pre-teens and adolescents. In many cases the mother is unable to control the child, especially considering that she is working at now home all the time. The boy starts to get raised mentally by the worthless men in the hood. There are men who's mothers traumatized them so since they can't attack their mothers they take it out on the women they meet. There are men who were emotionally castrated by their mothers. Why do you think there is such a high population of gay males in the black community now? A lot of men raised in the hood and other environments by their single mothers tend to have weird relationships with them. I see this a lot.
3. Young men who are standing on the street playing dice and etc more than likely don't have fathers in their lives. Their father would have put enough fear in them to keep them away from that. Men who are going around chasing down women and grabbing them on the street more than likely didn't have fathers, because a father would have taught his son self respect and integrity. You're embarrassing your self when you do that. You are basically saying that the only way you can get a woman is by having chasing her down. My brother never did that. He saw it as weak.
Most of the men acting like that towards women are savages.

Ok, no. street harassment is whatever that makes me uncomfortable. It doesn't have to involve touching. It could be a guy yelling out of a car or speeding up and trying to say something. None of this is flattering or called for. I shouldn't have to accept this as equal treatment. I don't have to move anywhere. I along with you or any woman should have the freedom of going about her day and being comfortable without being bothered. You as a woman shouldn't tell me what is harassment. It's whatever that makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't need a strange man in my face when I'm trying to pump gas at 9:30 at night. I don't give a damn what he's talking about. I know that as a woman we should never cry wolf and make something out of nothing but you can't tell me what I should and shouldn't accept. I have enough men trying to do that already

Wait so if you are walking down a street and a man drives by and tells you that you look nice today that is street harassment? They are building a new school a block away from my residence and when I walk by some of the men greet me and tell me that I look nice. No it is not cat calling but they are polite and say, "You look nice today mam". I always smile and say thank you. A man coming up to you and talking to you is street harassment? So if a man comes up to you and says, "Hi hello do you like so and so type of cars, because you have a nice car" that is street harassment? If a man come sup to you and says, "Hi, hello you look nice today and I would like to get to know you more." that is street harassment? Sweetie a man with a pitbull walking down the street makes me uncomfortable but that is not street harassment.
