The worst is that people seem to think of them as "compliments". That she should be grateful that people are so willing to yell things at her on the street. That she should be 100% accessible to people lest she be called a bitch.
My guess is that with the use of any sort of weapon (pepper spray or gun) it would turn into "his word against hers" and wouldn't be as elegant of a solution as you might hope. A lot of us have already commented on how that video was surprising, and that we're pretty oblivious to cat calling, so I'm sure a lot of people would think the woman was exaggerating. "I wasn't trying to finger her, that's insane, I was just saying hello!" "I wasn't following her, I was just asking her a question!" "...and then the crazy bitch pepper sprayed me for no reason!" etc. etc.
I thought Nom would jump on this. I have no fucking clue. I'm middle class black, I'm quite unfamiliar with such base and peasant actions. I court the ladies by having my manservant Giles delivery them a handwritten note in my best calligraphy with a flower that blooms once every two years and a feather from a rare bird.
Look guys, it's probably a cultural thing. We hear about the whole "ITALIAN MEN ARE MONSTERS THEY CATCALL ALL THE TIME! SO DISGUSTING." Anyone find any Italian women calling an end to this epidemic or do they just view the men like pigeons? I'm googling right now and not finding anything. There are some random blogs about white Americans traveling to Southern Italy and learning that it's just the culture. The first part of the quote bolded in the spoiler is because all the blogs denouncing catcalling use the picture as an example of the problem. Here is an article discussing a huge basis of the Italian catcalling stereotype, the photo called "American Girl in Italy" Here is the famous image. Here is some of her response to the whole "Were you scared? Did you feel harassed? Did you feel threatened? What is going on with this photo." Spoiler
Parker's just being humble. The truth is, once he busts out the dance moves, women start harassing *him*. Spoiler
Not to derail this, but I have a question. My former boss (who celebrated her two year anniversary last week) keeps texting me about a guy she wants to bang at a conference she's at right now. Do I talk her out of it?
If she's made up her mind, it's already a done deal. Hopefully she's password protected her phone, otherwise you're going to be dealing with text messages about divorce in a few months.
Nah, because she's going to bang him anyway. It's already in motion if she's texting you about it. She just said marriage vows two years ago, if she's already looking to bang other dudes, then if its not this guy, its another.
Nooz of the weeerd Space rocket blew up on the launch pad, Fireball has antifreeze in it, Jose Canseco shot his finger off, and I just found out that, though rare, nasal maggots is a thing. So, I can't wait to see how the Halloween weekend shakes out.
Re: Nooz of the weeerd The owner of the bar I work at does not know what propylene glycol is, I told her it does not really hurt you and we will continue serving it. Not only do Europeans not tip, they are pussies.
Re: Nooz of the weeerd Were it a real concern, you would have to get rid of Corona too. http://thebeerspy.com/2014/04/11/8-...inking-immediately-dont-believe-all-the-hype/ Although, I'm not sure that wouldn't be a net win.
Re: Nooz of the weeerd How would we know if they got rid of it? I didn't think anybody actually drank Corona.
Re: Nooz of the weeerd Bitch please. I drink Corona whenever I make tacos and I'm fine. If your constitution is weak enough that Corona's going to kill you then it's probably best your frail-ass genes be eliminated from the gene pool anyway.
