Woman Doing a Live Report On Sexual Harassment Sexually Harassed On Air

Complex - In the ultimate SMH moment of probably her entire career, a female reporter for the BBC was sexually harassed while literally filming a report on how much women are being sexually harassed. The Daily Mail reports that the journalist, Sarah Teale, was sitting outside the Nottingham Conference Centre in Nottingham, England filming the segment. After reporting that  “An online study found a shocking 95 per cent of people said they had been harassed, either jeered at or had obscenities shouted at them in the street,” a man walks by and shouts something that was explicit enough that it had to be bleeped.

Talk about good luck! She could not have planned that any better if she tried. Doing a report on harassment and takes a line drive right to the face. If she set that up I’d be mad, but it seems legit to me. Thems the breaks for going on live TV, you’re gonna get cat called and shouted at. Just great timing on her part that was exactly what she was talking about.

But I have a bone to pick with that statistic she throws out there- 95% of people said they have been harassed. 95%! If everyone is harassed, is anyone harassed at all? Really makes you think. What I’m saying is she needs to decide what does and does not count as harassment. Does texting a girl “babes” at 2am mean you’re harassing her? Kind of an important question. Where does complimenting start and the bad stuff begin? Such a fine line. I would love if I was on TV and someone shouted “hey man nice dick!” or “hey man your head isn’t entirely too big for your body!” at me. Just good ol’ fashioned harassment that makes you feel good at night.
