I agree with your post, but it's not addressing what I pointed out a couple times already. :B
Doesn't matter, I suppose, if the overall view is reasonable.

Was in a hurry so I didn't get to everything. I'm also tired because I haven't gotten to work full-time in a while and I'm no longer used to it. In any case...
On the topic of some women showing off on the internet:
Just because some women fight it acceptable, doesn't really mean it will apply to everyone. More often than not, women tend to shy away from the lewd comments. That's why there's also entire communities dedicated to things that bother women (and men) too. What a woman does with her own body is up to her. If she wants to show off, I don't care. Part of what I want from any of whatever this is is the freedom of choice. The problem comes when people focus on the behavior of a select group and apply it to their perception of everyone else. It's especially bad when people try to use a select group out of a much larger group to try and make a case for their arguments that way.
(also, would you use "hoes" or equivalent on men that do the same thing? Because I'm pretty sure that is a thing... )
I for one, am not okay with a creep no matter how objectively attractive he is. A creep is a creep. If some girls don't see that, then they need to be taught better. I feel like a good chunk of this now comes from problematic representations of relationships in media too. I don't care how fictional Edward Cullen is, he's a fucking creep and there are so many girls that are thinking early on than the relationships in Twilight are something to aspire to. I'm not even going to get into that, though. On top of things like this, there are those who understand when a man isn't really ...well...good...at all...but they fall into the "I can change him, mama!" category, thinking that it's fine to endure abuse for the chance that things might get better.
Eh...
There are just so many problems that I don't have the time or energy to get into talking about right now, but they're all over the place with both men and women. A lot of them are more related to each other than others but it's all really just a huge fucking mess, with a bit of cause and effect thrown into the mix.

Lady in 1:41 was funny haha. Again, mostly compliments. It's for him to decide if those comments were "harassment" or "catcall".

Oh god, no. This is literally Twilight fanfiction that manages to make it even worse. Names and things were changed around afterward but this is actually how it started. Barrrrf.

I'm actually a bit surprised about the amount of guys openly hitting on this guy. Maybe I just don't live in the right area, but I don't think I've ever seen a guy being so blatant about hitting another guy (mostly because of how many guys are quick to play the "no homo!" card, I guess). Also, that girl that stares so hard she gets turned around by who I guess is her boyfriend? Ayayay. Some people are just rude.

Holy toledo, there's been a lot of comments on this! I've been skimming through them all, but I still see people wondering what's so bad about someone being friendly and saying hi? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but honestly a lot of the times the random "How you doing?" and what-nots on the street are not coming from an innocent place. I had a situation happen a few years ago in which the guy went from "friendly guy" to one step from seriously assaulting me.
I had been walking from campus services back to my car, and everything was pretty normal. There were a few people around, and one guy a little ahead of me. He had glanced back and slowed down, waiting for me to get closer before he said, "Hey, how are you?" So I answered him and everything was friendly, just asking about school. When it gets closer to my being near my car I tell him to have a good day.
I'm about halfway to my car when I hear him behind me suddenly, and the guy I had been talking to changes completely.
"You've got a nice ass, I'd love to fuck it. How about it huh? There's no one around. Do you like being fucked? I bet you do you look like a freak". At this point, I'm completely uneasy especially since I realized he was right, we're completely alone. I try to tell him that I have a boyfriend, and all he says is, "So? He doesn't have to know. I'll fuck you real nice you'll forget about him. Why don't you give me your number?"
He's got me pinned to my car and this point, and I have no idea what to do other than tell him no. I'm pretty sure if he hadn't gotten freaked out by a passing car, I would have been raped. Thankfully, because of that car I was able to quickly get into mine and lock the doors.
So yeah, even if it seems friendly it doesn't mean it is. I'm not saying all men have these intentions, but you have to realize why it makes women uneasy a lot of the times and why this specific action was targeted in the video.

I think it's rather silly that, instead of being able to talk reasonably about things that are serious problems, there is a tendency to create exaggerated circumstances like in this video that lead to a polarized discussion in which no one learns anything.
I think you guys have somewhat risen above that, at least, so good job :o

I actually watched a video recently that kinda reminded me of this (not necessarily hot but rich):

Just to add some perspective he has some validity to what he's saying, although these look like mostly younger women. I mean the one girl even agreed WITH her boyfriend right there.

Oh man, the guy even asks the girlfriend for sex when her boyfriend was right there with her.... this guy has some serious balls. Then the boyfriend goes all pimp. I need to wash my eyes out.

I just witnessed a catcall 5 minutes ago. Felt creeped out even without being the victim.

edit:
Now that I'm home some more info... I was walking several feet behind some lady in thight pants, a guy leaning on the wall nearby said something like "hello miss!!" and she just kept walking. After she passed and I was closer to the guy he said to himself "damn I need that ass".

I feel like this a pretty standard thing, at least in my experience from myself and my sisters and friends.

One time I was walking past a bar early in the morning when some drunk guy approached me and asked to suck on my tits
When I ignored him he just called me a fat cunt
