People should read The source more carefully. All the news articles said it was about cat collars and men being sexual to women and that was only one of it. Most of the "harassment" was from cars getting too close and honking at them because they were in the street

Why did you put harassment in quotes?

u/polarjunkie 1h ago

Because the headline makes you think it's sexual harassment when most of the issues where them getting honked at for taking up space in the street when cars are driving by

Catcalling is sexual harassment, and they were not honking to get them to move out of the street, because people tend to jog on pavements, and yes, that’s sexual harassment. Don’t be obtuse.

Yeah and what did they stop people for? Read the original source 3 of the stops were for catcalling and the majority were for "vehicular intimidation" which was driving to close to them while they were running in the road.

Yes, which is a form of harassment, and can be a sexual offence in nature. I think police officers know the law better than you do buddy

I’m honestly just baffled that you’re out here blatantly defending people following pedestrian strangers in their car and harassing them by honking. Like that’s just such a weird hill to die on unless you’re someone who does this yourself, like this is universal loser behaviour lmao

We already know you’re the party of pro-rape and pedophilia. No need to announce it.

Says the party of pro illegal immigration which brings the rapists into the country. Look at whats happening in the UK and tell me im wrong.

How tf are you going to make this argument while exclusively defending rapists? It just sounds like you’re more upset by immigrants who don’t rape.

Some other person just posted a quote, they stopped a truck driver for honking and laughing at them. When have you ever seen someone point and laugh as a form of sexual harassment.

the article also cites that the majority of these harassment claims resulted in “verbal warnings”.

that specifically means “we could not find a legal reason for arrest” — nobody would ever justify giving a verbal warning for serious, harmful sexual harassment.

“When have you ever seen someone point and laugh as a form of sexual harassment”.

Women see it all the time. Just because you’re privileged enough to be ignored doesn’t mean these problems don’t affect other people.

I'm laughing at your stupidity, does that mean I'm sexually harassing you now?
