Black Feminist Debates Catcalling On CNN

[philmonroe]

Women know what harassment is and it's insulting to suggest they don't, men don't get to decide what women deem as harassment.

Telling women "it's worse in North Korea" is no different from white people telling Black people they should be grateful they're in America because Africa is much worse.

Some do some don't just like everything else in life. Going by this movement I don't know what that number is because somebody who may never see you again trying to see if your potentially interested by using a cheesy IMO "you're ________" harassment it doesn't make it to me no matter what anybody says. They can feel that way which everyone is entitled to but it don't mean I have to agree with them.

Why aren't these two c00ns getting shytted on more?

No self-aware black man should be saying shyt like this. It's literally white supremacist logic.

Ok I sir.
I'm a c00n because I think it's dumb for a non black woman to complain about being complimented.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Ok I sir.
I'm a c00n because I think it's dumb for a non black woman to complain about being complimented.

No, you're a c00n because you imply that women should stop complaining about getting street harassed because of their clothing, which is extremely socially unaware, considering young black men get harassed by cops because of their clothing.

Some do some don't just like everything else in life.

That's another the crux of this ordeal, and why it's so baffling to me anyone of sound logic can sign off on this.
We all know what assault is. We all know what rape is. There's a set definition.
There is no question as to if one has been physically assaulted. There is no question when one is driving intoxicated.
With this? There's no unanimous agreement.
It's women who hears these catcalls, chalk it up to it being simply thirsty nikkas that they have no interest in, and keeps it moving.
It strokes the ego of others.
There are other women who take offense to "Yo, ma," from one guy, but melt for the next man who uses it.
You can't enforce a law without a set precedent for what warrants the law to be enforced.
Just as quick as it can be used on the "Smile, baby," blowhards, it can be used against those advocating for THIS if their "Excuse me," happens to offend a woman who has had a bad day.
In her mind, YOU were getting ready to come on to her.
Nevermind that you were simply asking the time or directions. YOU offended her, and YOU don't get to decide what she deems as harassment.
We are discussing criminalization.
If we leave that up to interpretation, the term "slippery slope," is an understatement.

Exactly Thats what some people esp the new age hippies don't get. I have females that are laughing at this like really some dude I don't want to talk to is "harassing" me? They just keep it moving and nothing crazy has happened to any of them and I'm not even saying that it don't happen. I'm just saying its not happening at a rate where we need new laws on the books when the major stuff is already covered. Can I get Salvation Army workers arrested for ringing their bells during the holidays since they "street harassed" me asking to donate?

 

[Gravity]

What is your suggestion to the women who believe "compliments" are harassment?

What is your solution to women who believe that they have been "eye-raped" by a man who looked at her the wrong way? You'd obviously cosign black women siding with whites to push a "Men(black/brown) stop looking at women in public" campaign as well correct?

 

[Axum Ezana]

yall need to start showing me where all these black men that are getting off for physically raping white women because I see the police get off killing black males all the time.


If a black male makes an excuse(about being enticed from provocative clothes) in court he is gone up the road but a white gets out on the basis of fear of life because of a black man in a hoodie.

that being said I don't think any sane person thinks a woman should be raped because she had on tight jeans.


Also this new age feminist movement has to many undertones of racism in it for me to support it as a black male.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

this is funny to me cause her anger is sorta summing up this issue.

 

[23Barrettcity]

Simple.
Learn the difference between harassment - which is already illegal - and standard social interaction and advances from suitors you may not be interested in.
I would also staunchly suggest that before they sign off on voiding constitutional rights of freedom of speech because, "Hey, babydoll," makes them uncomfortable, they take a glance at North Korea.
Black women on the other hand should simply take a gander at America's history.

Exactly . It's already against the law to be harassed being annoyed is apart of life . I hate how women can tell men don't be uncomfortable with me Breast feeding it's natural and apparently men are savages who can't control urges according to women right ? But if I man thinks That about a gay man he's ignorant and a homophobe

Looks like Black on Black crime to me.

Just like a white supremacist to bring up black on black crime

This should be brought up to the United Nations. These feminists need to be humiliated.

Funny thing is, these "laws" give women the ability to throw anyone in jail simply of her preference as a person.
