I just can't figure out why this is news.
Honestly....I've dealt with this kind of stuff since I was a teenager.
Why in the Hell are they making a big production of this?
Who cares? It's not relevant, seeing as how most women get harassed in situations like we're discussing.
I was just wondering, since the claim was made that the average size was 34DD and I said I didn't believe it. I figure that when a woman has her breasts out on display, that's the best time to tell how big they are. It was just idle curiosity.

She's an actress and they deliberately picked someone with a large rack and a large butt who wore tight clothes. I'm going to estimate she has a C cup at least. Anyone else have any guesses?
So what's your point? Everything was covered and her clothes where dark and certainly not flashy. Just because nature may have been generous with her and she has a bubbly personality makes her fair game for catcalls, being followed and propositioned? So you would force certain clothing styles on women who have what you perceive as having large bra sizes? This woman is "displaying" nothing. I think you are seeing what you want to see or what you wish you could see but it has nothing to do with the question, should she be harassed in the street.
The answer is "no."
BTW, when I was younger with just an average figure I was followed a few times like this young woman. That was as a time when women dressed more conservatively, worked required dresses and skirts. I got cat-called and I got harassed more than once. Not a whole lot but it did happen and that was in downtown Portland, OR. It happens to women everywhere. But it shouldn't.

It's a new thing, to document street harassment. Sometime last year or maybe the year before, a woman in London did it, because she wasn't even aware herself how often it happened and how weird and skeevy it could be at times. (Some dude exposing himself on public transit, lots of incidents on public transit.) She said women are expected to just put up with it, that it was considered "normal". So she wrote an article about it. And a lot of women in London said, "yeah, why should be put up with this? " So it's become an international trend to document and prove the outrageousness of ordinary citizens' behavior on a daily basis. Women are fed up and are putting their collective foot down. It's a new generation. Maybe this is their revolution.
And a lot of women in London said, "yeah, why should be put up with this? "
It's funny how women say that and then dress up in their yoga pants, sports bras, thongs, belly shirts, and short shorts. That's gotta put a damper on the ol' revolution, right?
We've said this many times throughout the thread. The guys saying it's about being "thick", and dressing to show off, haven't responded to that, though. Slim, non-curvaceous women do get harassed in the same way around loiterers like that.
I responded several times to this and you're focusing too much on the "thick" part when it really just comes down to how they see her as being sexy and attainable. She wants sexual attention, and if it's not evident by her temperament, it sure is by all the photos she's put up of her breasts. Any woman, including obese women in burqas walking down Wall Street, can be sexually harassed. It doesn't mean it's equally likely to happen to every woman. Go to any street where catcallers lurk and you'll find that they're much more likely to feel they have a shot with a slightly overweight, sexual-looking girl.
For 10 hours of walking, they didn't even get much footage, but put a conservative-looking FOB Indian or Vietnamese girl and this girl on the same street and one of them will get far more attention while the other will not get spoken to or noticed nearly as much, if at all. Guess?
Men tend to assume that more promiscuous-looking women prefer aggressive approaches - because they usually do! It comes from experience. These women often see boldness in an approach that another woman may see as low-class. Studies show women with lower-back tattoos are significantly more likely to be approached than women without tattoos because men perceive these women as being more promiscuous.
This is true. I lived in Dallas for one year and during that time I was proposed to 3 times by complete strangers. It happened once at Kroger wearing sweat pants and t-shirt with jacket. The other two times happened at the same flea market. I guess since they did not have the opportunity to make daily catcalls on the street, they jumped straight to proposals in the shopping centers.
LOL! Someone left me a rep asking if what I experienced was a proposal or a proposition.
Does it matter? It is inappropriate to propose in public to a complete stranger. I am sure for those folks who can't seem to figure this out and end up getting turned down, they eventually turn to propositions as they lose respect for themselves and then those around them. All this simply because they can't learn.
And she's average at best. So you can only imagine what happens to really attractive females
