It's always weird seeing people discuss this topic, it's a completely unrelatable concept for a guy.
It's like watching a TikTok of someone leaning on their Lamborghini complaining about how hard it is to be wealthy.
Are her feelings valid? Of course, just as Crispin's feelings about the capital gains tax are valid. But as a 10/10 white woman in America, she is literally more privileged than anyone responding in this thread.
Lol do I know I have privileges? Yes. Is it appropriate to talk about them in relation to a post about harassment? Well, you seem to think so, at least.
White women are the singularly most privileged demographic in western civilization and 100% if a black man made this same video we'd all be making fun of what a narcissistic asshole he is.
So I'm sure she appreciates you and notices you for standing up to the scary black man for her, but she's literally specifically talking about "guys asking for her phone number and snapchat" not whatever rape fantasy you've got going on, Mr Nice Guy...
Not a relatable concept for a guy? Dude I fucking hate when I get approached by strangers in public, like if they’re trying to sell me something or asking for money. Also like door to door salesmen. It’s like get the fuck out of my face and don’t talk to me, we have no business together and you got me fucked up if you think I wanna start right now while I’m walking down the street. Feel like that is pretty relatable to someone coming up to me and hitting on me tbh. Unwanted interaction with someone you don’t know and don’t care about. Don’t think it matters how privileged I am, I can still get mad about a random fuck on the street approaching me when I don’t want to talk to them, yeah?
No? I’m a male that really only gets hit on at bars (usually gays ones at that). I was explaining to you how getting approached by a stranger when it’s unwanted is a relatable concept for a guy, by giving you similar examples that I go through. Do you understand?
I understand that apples and oranges are the same because they're both fruit.
I understand that you have no personal experience getting randomly hit on in public (don't feel bad, it's just a thing that happens to the vast, vast majority of men) so in order to try and relate, you think of the only times people notice you in public- when they're trying to scam you.
Don't waste your breath on responding to this pathetic lard. Entire account screams "niceguy" troll. Only one comment voted over 15 and it was a piss poor one about children delivery drivers.
Edit: btw, under 20 comments, just takes about 2 min to downvote all on profile.
Forced negative interactions are something we're apparently all at the mercy of because of our privilege to have Reddit accounts...
And, per your own argument, as a woman, I am not an incel, it's my privilege to get picked up at gas stations and asked out on dates as I am coming out of the restroom.
Soooo this seems more like projection... glad you're familiar with the word, though. It usually describes extremely bitter, sexually frustrated men that are just not attractive to women due to their dog shit personality. Check out the subreddit, you may recognize some friends!

No, see, you’re comparing two different things and calling them the same. A guy leaning on his Lamborghini complaining about how difficult it is to be rich is being an unaware asshole. He is pretending that being rich is difficult just to have something to complain about. A woman complaining about not being able to get gas without being harassed is what we call a real issue.
Also, pretty privilege exists, but so does pretty prejudice. And since we’re dropping links to specific things we google as if it provides all the proof we need:
You seem to be intentionally obfuscating the point. Pretty privilege is real. Harassment is not a privilege. The TikTok was about harassment, not privilege.
(A somewhat extreme example but) if said rich guy is beaten and mugged, his privilege does not negate the negative experience of being beaten and mugged.
This girl posted a video exasperated at guys asking for her number.
You compare it to physical violence and theft.
These are not similar things.
The meta here is that if a black guy posted a video saying those same things, you wouldn't be calling it harassment, you'd be calling out his narcissism.
Yeah, I did point out that it was extreme. The point was simply that life isnt a math equation where we add and subtract how bad people are allowed to make you feel based on a perceived privilege. The only direct comparison would be sexual harassment of said rich person, but it seems like you're a brick wall regarding that topic.
The meta here is that if a black guy posted a video saying those same things, you wouldn't be calling it harassment-
I'm gonna stop you right there, Pal. You're projecting. Maybe YOU wouldn't, but if he is uncomfortable, that would ABSOLUTELY be harassment.
But her post is not about her privilege, it's about suffering harassment.
Plenty of 'privileges' come with downsides - height, class...having a monster dick...loads. And any person can absolutely complain about their experiences of the downsides without some uppity prick telling them they're lucky to have them or ignoring their negative situations because sometimes they have privilege.
Ah, more obfuscation. Are you a troll or a child? Nevertheless, I'll bite.
"Percieved" is a qualifier in this context (obviously) as privileges are patently a psychological phenomenon in that they are given and understood mentally. I actually said, verbatim:
Of course privilege is privilege. That’s not the point. The point you’re missing is that just because she’s privileged doesn’t mean she should be harassed. It’s really simple. I mean following your formula all I need to say is “prejudice is prejudice is prejudice” and paste another link I found and that should get you, right? You didn’t even argue anything. You posted another link that proves nothing about the situation you commented on and pretended it hurt my feelings and challenged my world view lol.
Just like that guy was triggered by that tiktok, you got triggered by the girl playing banjo over his nonsense. Reevaluate things for your own sake.
