Have a nice day does not. But again, if you walk past someone and don't reply, you never know when they take offense and start to yell at you because you are a #####. A female as to worry about both acknowledging and not acknowledging the behavior in fear that she "slighted" someone. And it happens, don't say it doesn't.
This is awful. I get there are a lot of dooshes out there, but are we really turning into a society that just needs to ignore everyone else just to be polite.I saw the opposite on my feed. My response is (and I never do this crap anyway) just don't comment on a woman's appearance, and don't even say hi unless you get a friendly glance. Women should not have to endure what this woman went through on this video, and let's face it, saying hi or good evening to a woman on the street doesn't do the man any good 99.9% of the time. So just stop, ignore women you don't know unless it's a social situation and you have a signal.Somebody posted this on FB and the overwhelming majority of the replies were women saying how the majority of the men were NOT over the line and the girl in the vid came off bad.I saw a bunch of guys who were truly wondering how she was doing. She seems to be anti-social.
Use small words, because you know, my brain is smaller than yours. I may not be able to comprehend what you say the first time.Wow an actual woman feels differently about this than a bunch of internet men? I for one am SHOCKED! Somebody mansplain it to her so she understands how she should feel.LOFL. Yes and then get harassed because that guy thinks you actually want to talk to them.In their opinion the majority of the men weren't being disrespectful.She came off bad from walking silently down the street?Somebody posted this on FB and the overwhelming majority of the replies were women saying how the majority of the men were NOT over the line and the girl in the vid came off bad.I saw a bunch of guys who were truly wondering how she was doing.

ETA- when someone says hello it's common courtesy to say hello back.
See this is why I am saying if you don't want the chance of being viewed as a creeper at least wait for welcoming eye contact.
Solid logic here
My wife told me if a random woman makes eye contact with me, she's probably a prostitute. I'm rolling with that for now.

Don't be daft - you know damn well those are not polite 'Hello's' and are in fact sexual advances.
I'm not talking about these dooshes. I'm speaking to Clifford's post that says we should all look at our feet and not say anything to anyone unless we get clear signals. That is stupid.This is awful.

Oh come on, you think that these guys are like Walmart greeters and just saying hi to every person that passes them on the sidewalk all day to be friendly? Do you think it's even reasonable to say hi to everyone you see in a big city?
I grew up in the suburbs/rural area in Middle America. I always lamented the loss of civility and rudeness in areas like NYC. I looked down on them for being rude and selfish. Then I actually went to NYC for the first time and realized just how many freaking people there are there. If I tried to be polite and say hi to everyone I walked past, I'd not only look like a lunatic, I'd be exhausted in about 5 minutes. Hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi. So you put a smile on your face and if someone makes eye contact and smiles back you give a polite "hi" or head nod or something. If you take the time to single someone out that has showed no interest in you at all and hasn't even acknowledged you, and say something to them, it becomes very personal and a simple "hi" takes on more meaning.
I traveled a lot in Africa and what she felt is exactly what it's like for a white guy there. Constantly having people give you a fake friendly 'Hello' and if you acknowledge them they start to follow you. You never know when they are going to go away or if they have a plan to drag you into an alley to beat up and rob you. It's not sexual, but I know exactly what she feels like.

He seemed like an alright guy. Maybe he noticed the hidden camera in the backpack of the creepy guy walking in front of her and he was just making sure she was safe.
I'm one of those guys and I'm "polite" to older and less attractive women. Can't help you with the guys though....don't really acknowledge them with anything more than the "knowing nod" or a firm "S'up". If they look like punks, I'll add Son to the "S'up".
By that definition, almost every successful relationship in history started with an impolite sexual advance.
thx. but seriously I missed where the camera is or who is holding it is
I can't remember the last time I actually said something to a stranger as they walked by on the sidewalk. I make eye contact and smile from time to time, but I've never said anything unless it's holding a door or getting on an elevator.I'm not talking about these dooshes.

Once they're in the bar, it's fair game to say whatever you want to them. Maybe even cop a feel if they're giving off the right signals.
You don't give out high fives at random intervals? Huh.I can't remember the last time I actually said something to a stranger as they walked by on the sidewalk.

Fine but the video says that she is harassed 100 times and I didn't see the guys saying "have a nice day" taking offense and yelling at her. I understand that attractive women can be put in difficult situations but it doesn't necessarily make it harassment.
We really should restrict the areas where people are allowed to make sexual advances to certain pre-approved locations and websites. Criminalize the rest of it.
Hey is not a sexual comment.If you offered it to Sarah Jessica Parker you could be arrested for solicitation. Clearly offering her a thing of value for the implied act.
No, they didn't. Comments and being shouted at are still unwanted. But if you take the "Have a nice day" comments out, there would still be a lot of other.
Hey is not a sexual comment. Hey with the suggestive tone and leer is. These men were not simply just saying "Hi" with a polite nod of their heads.
Because promoting procreation has more societal utility than preventing any and all unwanted sexual advances.
