Female Comedian Imagines Absurd Thinking Behind Street Harassers
In the first of a video series by writer/director Chioke Nassor, comedian Sasheer Zamata tells her story of having been sexually harassed and flashed by a man while on her walk home.
The video is laughable in imagining the (inane) excuses some men might have in sexually harassing women, such as sincere thinking that a woman might enjoy the harassment, or that the behavior might help the male harasser to reassert his masculinity in the face of societal pressures to act “metrosexual”). At the same time, Zamata also remarks about how the harassment made her feel unsafe: “I got home and was like, ‘What was I thinking?’ I should have called the cops and gotten into a cab immediately.”
