I guess I don't understand why it's funny. Some halfwit perv (who needs a severe beating BTW) takes his only friend out on the subway and a woman is not impressed. Who would be?

I guess I don't understand why it's funny.

It's funny for the same reason that a situation that a girl (Gina) who I went to school with had when she was assaulted in Golden Gate Park while running.  The assaulter did not know that Gina was in incredible shape and a kick boxer (she went to our halloween party as Pebbles and her steroid boyfriend as Boom Boom).  She unloaded on the assaulter and held his beat up butt for the police.  When the class heard that Gina was assaulted we collectively shook our heads and knew the assaulter picked the wrong victim (and we laughed a nervous laugh wondering how bad he was hurt).  Same thing here.  Kim

[bull]

Well, that is funny because the deserving guy got his ass beat by a woman. This one though, a little yelling and firm talk... Not so comedic. Had she smashed him in the ball bag with her knee I'd be laughing.

That's Bam Bam, not Boom Boom (out go the lights!)

OH YES...OH F'ing YES!

That incident brought back memories of a scene from Porky's.

I agree.....not funny at all bro. Thats someones mother, daughter, wife or sister....wouldnt be funny if it were yours....

[Shakey]

One word would describe those guys in that crowd - losers!   

[chargergirl]

The busted look on the losers face was great though! Didn't think the fem girl would say a word...GO GIRL!

Oh yes it would be.  That woman refuses to be a victim -- she is totally empowered.  I would be proud if a woman I cared for did that -- and the ones I care for would do that.  Let women express their power -- that is what true liberation is.  Besides, seeing a penis never hurt anyone.  Showing one did though.  Kim

[bull]

Well, at least Kim's not trying to defend the guy's right to take his tally-wacker out in public... which I totally expected him to do.

Show it at the Beach by Shel Silverstein

Oh they won't let us show it at the beach no they won't let us show it at the beach

They think we're gonna grab it if it gets within our reach

And they won't let us show it at the beach


But you can show it in your parlor to most anyone you choose

You can show it at a party with your second shot of booze

You can show it on the corner wearin' overcoat and shoes

But they won't let us show it at the beach

No they won't let us show it at the beach friends

Ah they won't us show it at the beach

Oh they're sure we're gonna grab it if it gets within our reach

So they won't let us show it at the beach



But you can show it in the movies on the cineramic screen

You can show it in the most sophisticated magazine

You can show it while you're bouncing on the high school trampoline

But they won't let us show it at the beach



But if you've got a gun it's legal to display it on your hip

You can show your butcher knives to any interested kid

But if it's made for lovin' then you'd better keep it hid

And they won't let us show it at the beach

yes I'm sure you would be proud but would you be laughing along & making jokes with the others if that was your daughter in the video?   I would hope not...

If you are asking if I was at the scene then no, it would not be funny.  But if you are asking whether looking at the video is funny, yes it is.  Just like it was funny when Gina told her story after the fact and just as it would not be funny at the scene.  And personalizing it does not matter.  Kim.

Much like the perv after he got caught, some of you guys are starting to go soft.

Besides, EVERYONE is somebody's mother/daughter/sister/niece or father/son/brother/nephew. Might as well not make fun of anyone anymore. The irony is that most women would find your type of reaction (and bull's) sexist;  it's operating under the assumption that a woman can't fend for herself in these situations. This feisty redhead and Kim's friend prove that theory wrong.

Most women would find our type of reaction sexist? You might want to run that one by your wife (and then submit your polling data for review). I doubt most women would find much humor in seeing another woman cornered in a subway train by a pack of fu( )ing, pervert retards.

[AKcharger]

I thought it was funny because she dresses and looks like a lady but when she opens her mouth and curses like an uneducated prostitute she shows she's really just your standard gutter trash...lol

[John_Kunkel]

Sexist? Damn betcha, how many guys here can say they didn't get turned on by the leg-crossing scene in Basic Instinct?

I would have loved to see the gal in the OP put down the flasher with a critique of his Johnson.

If it were my daughter though, I can say one thing.. They would be calling the meat wagon, not the conductor, to clean up the mess...

You mean like..."Looks like a ... only smaller" 

[Tilar]

The whole movie is 46 seconds long. I didn't see anything other than a finger. Without anything more than that I say not guilty. Sounds like she is giving herself more credit than she is worth.

[THE STIG]

I saw this story the other night on Inside Edition or somthing like that, turns out the dude was is already a registerd sex offender and is on probation for another charge, and he was violated after this.

[khodne]

This post bothered me in the beginning because of the content.  Now I'm really disturbed because someone has admitted to watching "Inside Edition".   

[Ponch ®]

you guys were saying?

"Her righteous confrontation, which ended up going viral, would inspire hundreds of thousands, many of whom were women who wished they'd said what she said...

....Briggs, a full-time Tai Chi teacher and consultant, didn't see herself on video until it ended up on the local news, and even then it took a few days for her to bring herself to relive it. (She disliked the local news blurring her face, because she doesn't see herself as a victim.) But now, she told us, she's more than happy to spread the message that you shouldn't stand for these violations, and while everyone has to make the safest choice for themselves, she encourages women to speak up and to go to law enforcement."

Four months in jail and then to be deported back to Mexico        

I wonder if the loser thinks it was worth it!

The two points being discussed prior were 1. that it was not a humorous incident, to which Briggs would seem to agree now and when it happened (considering her reaction in the video) and 2. your claims that our reactions were sexist, apparently for not seeing the humor in this video.

I'm glad she did what she did and was able to stand up for herself but I'm still not seeing anything funny about it. And I still don't believe the negative reactions are sexist. At least the guy got what he had coming to him but like I said before, I'd have preferred she give him a swift kick in the ball bag in addition to all the yelling.
