UNWANTED ATTENTION #1: NEW YORK
One day in August the actress Shoshana B. Roberts walked around New York for 10 hours. She was carrying microphones and was at the same secretly filmed by the editor Rob Bliss. (UPDATE: It turns out most of the footage is from Harlem.)
Together they recorded hundreds of men trying to "cat call" her and giving her unwanted attention. In the video Roberts has a neutral facial expression, a dismissive body posture and never replies to any of the men talking to her.
Check out the video and also read the YouTube comments:
