Many women would probably agree that walking down the street in jeans and a crewneck T-shirt is not exactly a provocative act, but it appears that they’re wrong, at least when it comes to New York City. The video below is the result of Rob Bliss Creative partnering with Hollaback! for a PSA about verbal street harassment; watch what happens when actress Shoshana B. Roberts silently walks around NYC for 10 hours. In addition to getting endlessly catcalled and told to smile, Roberts is berated for not responding or saying “Thank you” when men yell things at her. A random guy also walks along with her for five minutes, because apparently that’s not at all a creepy thing to do.
