This guy chases a woman in an alleyway, shouting and grunting at her and when he catches up with her, calls her a 'racist bitch' for being frightened.

Jesus.

I did, it looks terrifying! What an arsehole

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 07/04/2018 09:09

The absolute lack of self awareness is frightening. What a knobber.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 07/04/2018 11:01

Wow the way he growled at her. What the fuck?

DancingLedge · 07/04/2018 11:04

He needs to read Schroedinger's Rapist.
Everyone needs to read it.

I'd have been terrified if that happened to me. That poor woman, I hope that that she goes to the police.

Battleax · 07/04/2018 11:07

Yes. I can’t watch it again. The guy has major psychological problems if he thinks he’s in the same postal district as “justified”. He seems to have major psych problems anyway TBH.

That’s another tick in the column “bad consequences of identity politics” for me, I’m afraid.

AngryAttackKittens · 07/04/2018 11:12

Isn't it nice that men can use being "woke" as an excuse to bully and terrorize women?

Datun · 07/04/2018 11:17

God almighty. As the woman says in the article, that gave me second-hand anxiety.

Utterly petrifying. He should be prosecuted.

Calling her a dumb bitch tells you everything you need to know. The man's arrogance and misogyny, before you even get started on the lack of self awareness and what it's like to be a woman.

And the crass stupidity of not realising that he has now made that woman even more terrified of random men on the street.

jacketpotatobeansandcheese · 07/04/2018 11:21

My god, I felt anxious just watching it, I can't imagine how scared she must have been

I'm staggered he can't see that no 'normal person' does that irrespective of their skin colour.

What a fuckwit.

Ereshkigal · 07/04/2018 11:45

Wow, that's horrible. What a misogynistic piece of shit.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 07/04/2018 12:55

That's unbelievable! What a hateful, STUPID man!!! One of millions.

DeleteOrDecay · 07/04/2018 12:57

What a freak. Who in their right mind thinks this behaviour is okay?

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/04/2018 12:57

If I were the woman in question I would be referring this to the police.

Cocolepew · 07/04/2018 13:00

Omg that poor woman. That's horrific, I'd have been terrified.

CannaeBeErsed · 07/04/2018 13:08

All men should be made to read the thread on here that starts something like, "What's the worst thing to ever happen to you?". I believe it was intended to be almost lighthearted but post after post after post showed just how terrifying it is being a woman, being chased down by strange men when alone. Or men trying to drag us into alleyways. Or into cars. Or taking us to different destinations when in a car with them.

A man would say, "A first date? What's the worst that could happen. She could be horrible/I could get stuck with the whole bill?"
A woman would say, "what the worst that could happen? I could be raped and murdered."

We're not scared of black men alone in an alley. We're scared of men.

PrivatePie · 07/04/2018 13:14

She must have been incredibly relieved that he was chasing her just to call her a racist.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 07/04/2018 13:19

What a fucking asshole! He needs arrested for terrorising that poor woman. That’s disgusting. How dare he do that to her. If he thought she avoided him because of his race he could have just called after her saying he meant her no harm.

It really has come to the point where women can’t take steps to avoid a potentially dangerous situation without being accused of racism or transphobia. And we’ve just seen the end of a rape trial in NI where a woman was asked multiple times by a a defence barrister (and half the fucking population) if it was rape why didn’t she scream. Why? Because she isn’t fucking allowed to. We’re not allowed to protect ourselves, defend ourselves or ask for help when harmed.

MrsUnderwood · 07/04/2018 13:21

I can’t being myself to watch it. When I was a a student I remember being followed by a man at night on my way home- just as I entered a pedestrian underpass. I started to run and he hurled abuse at me for it. It had nothing to do with race and everything to do with being a small woman being alone in an underpass with a man who had crossss the street and changed direction to follow me. It was so, so scary. I remember thinking “So, this is how my rape happens.”
The poor woman being victimised by this idiot has my utmost sympathy and I hope someone is looking after her.

conversationdiva · 07/04/2018 13:27

That video is disgusting. What a horrible, arrogant man. The sad thing is that some people on youtube are agreeing with him!

DownstairsMixUp · 07/04/2018 13:30

What an absolute freak!

AssassinatedBeauty · 07/04/2018 13:32

It's really noticeable how tiny the woman is, and in comparison how large and powerful the man seems.

The behaviour this man showed, chasing her and intimidating her, shows that he is in fact a danger to women. She was right to be scared of him! This idiot has shown he has no empathy whatsoever and is utterly unable to understand what being on your own at night in a dark area can feel like for women.

He harassed her, intimidated her and followed her home. She must have been terrified, and now she's all over the Internet without her consent.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 07/04/2018 13:33

I really hope he can be charged with something.

ised · 07/04/2018 13:38

What a cock, I would run and be afraid regardless of colour/race

Redcrayons · 07/04/2018 13:39

I feel anxious just watching that, poor woman must have been terrified.

How can he not see that she would not be scared having much bigger MAN running after her?

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 07/04/2018 13:44

What. A. Cunt.

How self absorbed and stupid do you have to be to not realise that any man...white, black, chinese, whether dressed in jeans and a hoody or a frilly pink frock, will be percieved as a threat...not just in that situation, but especially in this type of scenario.

FFS what is fucking wrong with men??

I'm fucking sick of it.
