VIDEO: Men React To Their Girlfriends Getting Catcalled

By Heidi Patalano | July 30, 2015 11:27am

Cosmopolitan had a great idea: make a street harassment video like the one that went viral last year and add the boyfriends of catcalled women watching the video in horrified, chivalrous disgust. Because it's not wrong until a man says it's wrong.


But spreading awareness about street harassment is a worthy cause no matter how it's done, right?

Cosmo captures catcalls in the same way as the original video had: the women, dressed mostly in black, walk through Midtown, Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen with a hidden camera in front of them, capturing the  men whistling and making comments as they go by.

The video shows a man outside a strip club shouting to one woman, "We're hiring!"

"Nice. Real tasteful. I shouldn't get mad at that?" Seth, her boyfriend, raged.

So, in closing, men who have girlfriends do not approve of catcalling.
