Social Experiment: Sexual Harassment



A male actor dresses up as a woman to experience sexual harassment. I have never been to Egypt so I don't really know how bad the situation is for the women living there. However, I have heard from female friends going there for a vacation that they are being groped several times while walking down the street and it is best to travel with a man for protection.

This is really disturbing and I am angered by these men. Why can't they keep their hands to themselves. If the same happen to their wives, female friends or sisters would they like it? How did it all started and why isn't anyone doing anything to stop it. It is a disgrace to man. Is harassment that difficult of a concept to grasp? We all have a right to walk down the street safely at all times, man or woman.

Social Experiment - You can't be a princess



A social experiment about onlooker mums on how a boy or girl should dress. I suggest you watch the video before reading what I have to say regarding this topic.


This is a  really thought provocative video. When I was younger, I was turned down to wear what I wanted and fit into want the society wants. Most parents are straight of course and the idea that their young kid is showing signs of "abnormality" frightens them.

If a boy prefer a dress than a spiderman costume, it doesn't mean that the boy is gay and the same applies to the girl. Even if the kid grows up to like the same sex, I really don't see a problem. I believe that no matter what other people does, you can't change how you feel. Attraction to different genders can happen throughout a person's life. You may like a boy now but you may one day realize you like girls better. Why not just follow you heart and let it leads you.

I find parents that try to fit their kids into a mould. There is nothing wrong with cross dressing. A lot of chinese, korean and japanese game shows have guys dressing up as girls. It is a light hearted matter and fun thing to do. I think more people should be more open minded and more accepting to cross dressing. Constant denial of a kid from becoming what they want will emotionally and psychologically damage their childhood. Let it be.

That's just my two cents worth on cross dressing.
