Infamous Catcalling Video Meets Its Match

You must have been living under a rock NOT to have seen (or at least heard about) the infamous catcalling video from a few weeks back that everyone was talking about. In this video, a woman apparently filmed herself walking around New York city for 10 hours. Over that time period, she was "Cat Called" over 100 times.  The video from a group called Hollaback sparked some controversy. I won't go into all of it here but you can check out a great critique of what's wrong with the video HERE.

The video has sparked many spoofs and re-makes. Recently a woman in Mumbai, India attempted to replicate this experiment. The population of Mumbai is almost double that of New York city so you'd think that there would be almost twice the number of cat calls... nope. Apparently, she was not cat called... not even once.

Now, I say 'apparently' because there could be manipulation in both videos. When you only release 2 minutes of what is supposedly 10 hours of footage. It leaves the viewer wondering about what has been edited out. Be very skeptical. Organizations often have a political point to make and will only show you things that prove their political agenda.

But... I wish this Mumbai video had received more news coverage. This was released over a week ago and no mainstream news outlet has run the story as of yet. This could be proof that there is a political agenda in the media too. Or maybe it's because nothing happened. If there's no story to tell, that not very exciting.
