To show to the world how women are harassed, an anti-harassment organization called Hollaback teamed up with a video marketing agency to show what it's really like to walk down the street alone as a woman. The results were a shocking, exhausting and terrifying video. Rob Bliss followed the actress Shoshana Roberts for ten hours across New York and recorded men's looks and comments. Some of them were friendly greetings, while others comments on her body. When she said anything about it, they would tell her that she should appreciate the fact that there were men 'asknowleding her beauty. Robert Bliss was able to record more than 100 instances of verbal harassment, and that doesn't count the whistles and the blinks. When the author showed it to her male colleagues, they were shocked by the treatment women received on the streets, since they had no idea these things happened so often. Other men on social media did not see such a problem with this video and claimed that catcalling isn't harassment, and that women are rude for not accepting these 'compliments' graciously.
