What needs to happen if street harassment makes women feel like this...
...but men think like this?
Thanks, last dude. It IS a little intimidating.
And if it's happening towomen, shouldn't what women actually experience matter a little bit more than what men intend? At a certain point, intentions don't matter. The act of disrupting women on the street (from telling women to smile all the way to hip-thrusts and groping) is unwelcome and intimidating.
Men harassing women on the street is just not acceptable.
