There is a clear difference in the two sources above, the first video shows a woman walking around NYC minding her own business and showing all of the harassment that she receives. While the second video shows a different woman walking around NYC but instead of just ignoring the cat calls, she decides to respond to them. Throughout the first video, the discomfort that a woman feels while walking in the streets is perfectly captured. The way the different men interact with her and cat call her is absolute disgusting and just knowing that cat calling begins to happen at a very young age makes it even worse. I think what the video also captures is the fact that throughout her entire walk, she does not initiate the conversation, or any type of interaction, rather the people she is walking past feel the need to talk to her, or say something about her body. The second video has the same idea, a woman walking around alone in NYC, but instead of her ignoring the comments she responds with witty back talk. It is interesting to see the way the body language of the person changes once she responds back. What I also like about the video is that they do show a woman trying to hit on her, showing that although a bit rare they still happen. One incident in the second video that really stuck with me, is that she is walking and another guy starts to walk beside her for about 10 minutes without saying something, so after about 10-11 minutes she tells him that she likes what he’s doing, and that its important to exercise to keep off the weight. The man then gets offended by the comment and starts to get angry that she said that. I completely understand why he got mad that she made a comment about his weight. At the same time there is also the fact that he followed her around for about 10 minutes, and there is a certain point when it just becomes scary and in a situation like that, someone will probably say whatever they can so that you will leave them alone.
