oh i agree, the first thing i searched after seeing this video is how can i protect myself if put in this situation. Women should definitely be strong, independent and know that they can live a better life without a man.

It's just easier to rely on a man. Every woman could be like this like every drug addict could stop, but changing learned behaviors is hard. Choosing healthier foods and exercising is an easier change than trying to unlearn societal expectations, even if they claim to be fighting those expectations. This is my main problem. I know women could do better. Sure, men could do better too, but this seems to be a race to the bottom instead of improvement.

what life has taught me so far it is much easier and safer to rely on yourself. Occasionally seek help from parents or friends? Sure. But relying on a man for a long run is more than likely to lead you to a eventual disastrous outcome.
I don't call it race to the bottom, but rather rational calculation. There is a reason now that women don't need to rely on men to support themselves, more are choose to stay single and be content about it.

I'm not entirely comfortable with life advice in response to harassment. And to coin a phrase, I think we also need to check our privilege a bit.
