I wonder if anyone else has seen this article in the Washington Post, entitled "D.C.'s fight against street harassment"? http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/...story.html
It seems that this one woman has made it her personal crusade to confront men, who approach women, and while I agree a lot with her on certain things, I think she takes it a little too far. It's definitely not okay to walk up to a girl and grab her ass, or snap a "upskirt" shot of her pussy while she's riding the escalator, but telling a women to smile is not cool?
This will be interesting when Roosh's "Day Bang" will be released and D.C. will be crawling with guys trying to run day/street game. It seems that this crusader feminist chick, doesn't want men approaching random women in any capacity, because it makes women feel "uncomfortable and unsafe", and women are just trying to "mind their own business and go about their day."
That is exactly how I used to feel as well, like I would be disturbing a women if I were to randomly approach them and engage them in conversation. It would be inappropriate to approach them and would be "crossing some kind of line", and it's thinking like that which largely held me back in a lot of cases.
I think our culture and feminism has gone a little too far in what they deem to be "harassment" or inappropriate behavior, and has totally pussified and feminized men. I remember growing up from elementary to high school always watching instructional videos on sexual harrasment and the like, so I always feared pushing the limits to attract women, because I felt fear, shame, guilt, that what I was doing was wrong.
A lot of guys may have unconciously internalized some of these thoughts, and it maybe holding them back in the "dating/pick up game". It's such an oxymoron because most women want men to be aggressive and be the one to pursue, but all with class, good taste, and respect for her. It's definitely not cool to tell a women she has a nice ass and grab it, but there is nothing wrong with complimenting her dress, and that she looks nice.
