Pink News: it takes a man in drag experiment to reveal harassment of women

[WomanBornNotWorn]

I don't know how to react.

Currently wavering between

'Why not just ask AND LISTEN TO 51% of the planet, Pink News?'

Or

'Great idea - focussing men's minds on an issue they've never thought about because it's being experienced and reported by a man'

'He does look nice'

Pink new are deliberately trying to provoke you, just don't read it.

Doncha know? A phenomenon isn't real until it happens to real people, aka men.

But what was he wearing? Was he "asking for it"?

Shon Faye says something sensible for once! Of course Prick News went to SF for a quote because asking a woman would be too fucking sensible.

Trans woman Shon Faye commented: You could just ask half the population.
Other women echoed that sentiment.

Women echoed that sentiment.

Why would they ask women? We've told them, many times - therefore we are shrill, melodramatising nags. It needed to be experienced by a man in order to be accepted by men.

Shon Fae's experience is exactly the same as Antoine's. Upsetting, no doubt, but merely a pale imitation of what women experience, a single layer of women's multifaceted daily lives. But, like Antoine's, Shon's opinions carry more weight than women's opinions.

Yes. And it stops once he goes back to being a man again. Women don't have the option.

I bloody well wish I did have that option.

Whao. It reminds me of an article about an archeological dig in Bolivia. The French archeologists spent six months trying to figure something out until someone had the bright idea of asking the locals.

When is Shon's book coming out?

Despite some good intentions, the video is being heavily criticised on Twitter, where many people are pointing out that the creators of the campaign could simply have asked women what it is like to be a woman in public places.

Yep, trolling or male supremacy, take your pick.
