After my last blog on stopping sexual assault, a colleague brought this other video to my attention.
32 million views and 120 thousand comments and counting.
This young lady walks around the streets of New York for 10 hours in jeans and a t-shirt and is verbally harassed a 100 times--not including winks and whistles.
Women (and men) should not have to live in fear, shame, or be abused doing nothing but living their lives peacefully and respectfully.
Darn, can the folks out there show some respect and decency.
This could be your mother, wife, sister, or daughter...think about it.

100 Times Harassed!
This is a hilarious video of a social experiment.
This girl--a complete stranger--goes up to random guys and asks "Would you have sex with me?"
On the top there is a running counter--thumbs up or down--for how many of these guys say yes or no.
The final count for this girl and the complete strangers is 50-50!
The reactions of the guys who stumble all over themselves ranges from "Are you crazy?" and someone who actually calls the police on her to "Why not?" and "I will definitely have sex with you!" or how about this guy who offered up a middle of the road approach of "Would you like to hang out with us first?"
In a companion video, they reverse the social experiment, and a guy propositions random girls with the same cavalier question.
In 100 cases, he was rejected!
So are women more discriminating? Are they looking for intimacy while men are looking for a physical hookup? Or are men just driven by their chemistry, evolution, and species preservation to procreate far and wide?
While the girl chosen for this experiment is undeniably attractive, given the risk of STDs and AIDS and also broken relationships and even families, you still have to ask yourself are men's brains fully wired on right? ;-)
Yes, I Mean No
This was a funny picture that my wife took today.
It is a guy sitting in the restaurant surrounded by women.
He is eating and reading.
The book is "What Do Women Want?"
What--like most men don't have a clue how women think!
Anyway, sort of an interesting way to take a break from the workday.
Pondering the ultimate mystery men seem to want to know.
Anyway, I know what my women wants and that's for me to take out the garbage. ;-)
