Dads React to Their Daughters Getting Catcalled | Iris 

"Stay safe" Says the creep who followed her for about 3 minutes.

the sad part is that girls don’t get catcalled if they’re with a man. have it be a father, brother, friend or relative. even if they do catcall the poor girl, the minute spot they’re with a guy and usually immediately apologize to THE GUY and not the girls. disgusting.

"Maybe if i make a girl feel extremely uncomfortable in public, I'll get her number." - These dudes thought process

She's not only someone's daughter, someone's sister, someone's wife, someone's mother. She's also a person and that should be the reason enough to treat her with respect.

Rude men: *catcalls* Dad: "So you have chosen death...."

Do they just expect those girls to be like “oh hey random person off the street let’s hook up” like tf

The fact that I’m only 14 and have been catcalled and then was FOLLOWED for a couple of minutes until I ran into a store says a lot. I was dressed in uniform. There’s no excuse it’s not the compliment you think it is nor do girls look older than their age. If you can’t tell the difference between a minor and a adult don’t catcall her simple.

I don’t think guys understand how terrifying this is for girls. That feeling of your heart pounding erratically in your chest because you start thinking of the worst (especially when it’s a group of guys), it’s deeply unnerving. It’s happened to me once and I pray it never happens again. Guys please respect women as they are human beings too

I never really understood the act of catcalling, do these people really think hollering at a girl that walks by would really get them a chance? All it does is just scare them and it's disrespectful.

I got catcalled almost everyday and sexually harrased in a public transpo while wearing a school uniform, so it’s not about how we dress or act... Treat everyone with RESPECT.

I had a dude follow me one time in Vegas. I've been cat called but that was the first time anyone ever followed me. And it wasn't just like I noticed him walking behind me. This guy made an effort to walk beside me like he was with me or something. It was so weird. I walked up to a group of strangers and pulled they "hey guys I've been looking for you" card. They were super sweet to me and let me hang out until the guy left and even offered to keep walking with me all the way to my hotel but I took a cab. Hope those folks are blessed wherever they are. They probably saved my life that night.

Catcalling is traumatising. I had to endure it everywhere, even when I wear the most conservative of clothes. I do not feel safe even just by walking close to my house. It has been penalized in my country, but I doubt it is even taken seriously. These men are awful, and I hope one day they'll get what they deserve.

The last dad looks like a mafia boss I am scared for the guy that was following hers life lol

Honestly some man act like they never seen a women before and then they wonder why they don’t have a girlfriend.

I was at the gym with my 14 year old daughter and a couple of men (mid to upper 20's) started commenting and talking to us. We walked away and went through the women's locker rooms to the pool. They followed us to the pool (through the men's room) and snuck up behind us and jumped scared us while my daughter was lap swimming (she's a competitive swimmer). The lifeguard was laughing and saying "they got yooooou!" Until I told her we.don't.know.them. They followed us around for nearly half an hour until I went to security. Security talked to them and walked us to our car because we couldn't enjoy or focus on our workout any more. This was in the middle of a week day. It is outrageous that full grown men think it is acceptable to treat anyone this way, let alone minor children!

"I think there would be a fist fight"

The last dad is a mafia boss........

What's disturbing to me: I got cat called far more often when I was visibly underage and a school girl wearing a uniform.

You wanna know what's really disgusting? Any woman can verify that they got cat-called *more* as a minor than they do now being in their 20's/30's and up. The ages between 12 and 24 seem to be when this happens the most, and it's bad enough as is getting cat-called, but it's absolutely disgusting that the type of men who do this come onto minors more than any other age group.

Some comments on this video are so disgusting i swear they are blaming the clothes but one day I went to buy some groceries in literal oversized tee and sweatpants and a guy started singing a song while staring at me ,so stop blaming the victims please

One time a guy said to one of my friends “Nice legs” and she says “They’re fake”. 🤣🤣🤣

"This is my husband/boyfriend. He catcalled me one day on the street with his boys and I realised he was the one. We've been inseparable ever since" said no woman ever

bro my heart literally dropped when the one dude touched the woman’s arm. it’s almost like i could feel the fear and discomfort through the screen

I wonder how many of the dads acted that way in their youth

“When it’s summer time..the animals are around” HE’S SPEAKING STRAIGHT FACTS

“That bag is very full and does have a clasp on it so you know she wouldn’t lose anything if she had to smack somebody in the head with it”

I was 18 and passing by a school to a nearby pharmacy. Some 15 year old boys climbed to the wall and kept catcalling me and another girl. We went inside to complain to their dean. But a teacher stopped us and clearly pretended to be the dean. He was surrounded by students. I told him what those boys were doing. He said very dismissively "They don't have sisters, mothers..." and to let it go. I said, "Is you education limited to the classroom? You don't tell them how to be good people?!" right in front of all his students. Freaking shithead. It bothers me still that he was a teacher.

I'm in 6th grade and I'm already getting catcalled, its so sad. There was an older man who kept staring at me in the store and then came up to me and said, "Haha, sorry, I just ❗LIKE LITTLE GIRLS❗" BRO REALLY CAME UP TO ME AND ADMITTED TO BEING A PEDOPHILE IN FRONT OF MY FATHER. Then recently a boy one grade younger than me did the smooch thing that you do TO CALL DOGS. Like the noise, its so annoying. Women are humans. They should be treated with respect.

“Brothers react to sisters being catcalled “ that shit would be priceless

i was 13 when i was catcalled for the first time. i was flat as a board, and shaped like a refrigerator- now that’s creepy- i was a literal child, yet it still happens

The last dad was hilarious and so accurate, started with enjoying the compliments and ended with a fistfight! 🤣

I was 13 and walking my dog down the sidewalk of my street. Because I just woke up, I was wearing pyjamas (which consisted of a massive oversized hoodie and baggy pj pants). These two men slowed down their car, rolled down their window, honked to get my attention, then drove by slowly while making hard “flirty” eye contact. Never felt more uncomfortable. Just goes to show that what ur wearing doesn’t really affect this sort of thing.

The last guy looks like a mafia dad. He's gonna get rid of those guys for sure.

Dont just teach daughters to learn self defense...Also tell the sons how to respect them. (I thank every one who liked my comment and replied. :) Thank you)

Dads: “Don’t catcall my daughter 😡 “ Also dads: Catcall *each other’s daughters* 👀

I hate to say that as a 14 year old that I've experienced being catcalled plenty of times, and just the amount of uncomfortability and even embarrasment I feel when that does happen. Especially that it can still happen when I'm with my family. I feel like women of all ages should always be respected, and it really dissapoints me that we arent. But what also disappoints me is that once when I was catcalled (I was probably around 12 or 13) and I was with my 2 siblings and mom, was that my mom blamed it on me for wearing a skirt, and she said if you didn't dress the way you do that wouldn't happen. And on top of that it wasn't a short skirt either and I always wear shorts under too, and even if it was short it doesn't give permission to record me (which I was) or for men to say unwanted things to me.

These dads are so chill. My dad would've been fired up out of his mind

I’m 15 and I’m a goth, I’ve been catcalled by adult men, honestly I’m afraid to go out alone because of it

OHHH Someone commented about “brothers react to sisters being catcalled” and I have a great story!! So I’m a female, 16, and my brother is 18 (mildly autistic). Since I was in kindergarten my family was really close with another family that had three sons, one my age, one my brother’s age, and a couple years younger than me. The oldest never really talked to me to looked “comfortable” around me, but I mean we still talked but very briefly in group convos you know? That is until one day a year ago when I went to their pool in a bikini (it was VERY unrevealing, it was black and had everything 100% covered, my parents were always pretty strict about modesty). Then the oldest completely ignored my brother and started talking to me and making jokes and laughing a lot. He kept trying to hit me with pool noodles and got very physical touching my arms and leg and such. At first I gave the benefit of the doubt, but it got increasingly more uncomfortable to the point where his brother (my age) told him to “stop being weird” (they seemed genuinely annoyed). So I decided to move to the hot tub where my brother was. The oldest sat next to me, so I moved to the other side of the hot tub. He moved with me… 3 times. Then he squeezed my thigh. That was the last straw. The next time we went to their house he was still weirdly flirty and physical. He started to like jokingly hit me with a pillow and I was like kind of pinned down, and that’s when my brother (always very chill and non-confrontational) lost it. He grabbed the guy and shoved him like a the length of the sofa, silently grabbed my arm and YANKED me up, took my outside to where my parents where, lightly pushed me into a chair, took a deep breath and said “okay, we’re going to stay here now”. He stood there next to me for the rest of the night. I love him to death (sorry this was so long 😅 )

I love what the first dad was saying, “have some respect” because it’s true, women deserve respect, remember women/girls are people with are own thoughts and feelings, we are PEOPLE not objects.

“They were asking for it look at how they dress!” A man can go outside shirtless without being told to cover up but as soon as a woman shows their shoulders they’re “asking for it”

I've heard a lot of men say: "It's just a compliment" like the last dad was thinking at first, but as he realized then, it is usually followed by the guy being a creep following you, or saying other things or even insulting you if you ignore them.

A woman doesn't need to be someone's daughter, wife or mother to deserve respect.

I get catcalled by people in my grade in the hallways, and I've also been harassed by some guy in my grade. Sometimes its not so fun being considered 'pretty'.

Plot twist: After the video finished all the dads got together and went on a hunt for the men...

"our daughters, wifes and sisters should be treated with respect" ALL women!

i was 7 when i got cat called for the first time, and the fact that right at that moment i already knew exactly what had happened there, it says a lot.

We need more of this, we need more parents and adult men seeing what women have to go through, what their children are getting up to, etc.

My daughter dresses conservatively. She told me she got slapped on her butt at the mall by a guy then he ran off. Dude lucky momma bear wasn’t there.

I remember being catcalled when I was only 12 years old. I went running to my mom crying.

to the people saying "i never knew men catcall" its literally a power thing for them, look at you im yelling at you haha.

i’m 15 and i got catcalled by a middle aged guy when i was 12 , hated that

“What would you say?“ “I think there would be a fist fight“ I'M WHEEZING, I LOVE HIM

i’m 14 years old and my first time getting catcalled was when i was 11. it’s sad.

It was nonstop until I perfected my RBF and bad attitude. Once I was perceived as mean, they stopped.

It's not about how we dress, I get middle aged men blatantly checking out my body right in front of me when I'm wearing sweats and hoodies

im 14 and once got catcalled WHILE MY FATHER WAS WITH ME some men really do not have any shame

I was in my school bus by the window in FOURTH GRADE, i used to be the first one to get on the bus at like 6:30 am and this random uNcLe on a bike flashed me. FOURTH GRADE- i was nine bro💀 this ain't stopping no matter what awareness we spread.

"its summer time and animals are out" lmaoo

Just respect EVERYONE, man, women and anyone in between. If they say they aren’t interested, leave them alone.

Let me make 1 thing clear. We do not take this as a compliment. We do not feel thankful for this. We do not feel good about this. Leave us alone on the streets. Not that hard

lol what would you say 😂 love his response. its perfect

The thrid father gives off a mob boss vibe-

*Clothes are not the problem. The people is the problem.* No shame

I’m 16 started getting catcalled at 13. I have been catcalled, insulted, whistled at, touched, grabbed, followed. This is not okay at all. Especially for young, underage girls.

I wish I had dad's like these dad's. That would be nice to have someone like that.

what i hate the most is when they are being 'friendly' but you both know they don't mean it like that

Sorry but the third dad gave me some powerful man/mafia leader vibes

Casually says: “i think there would be a fistfight”...

Why the fathers are so calm?! My father would find their identity, adress etc and do the things i can't imagine.

The last dad is *The Godfather* 🙌

17 year old girl: **walks** two 30 year old man: hey! you cute police officer: *y’all are going to jail periodttttt*

i got catcalled at 12 years old more than i did as an adult.

Because of this my heart starts pounding every time I walk past a guy or a group of guys. We women always have to worry that someone will catcall us, so we get terrified even before it happens 😐

I have got cat called even in pajamas, i guess that sponge bob print is too atracctive, the clothes are not the problem and they have never been.

I'm a hijabi, and I also experience this. Even though I dress modestly, it still happens. Nobodys ever AsKiNg for it. We need to train young men to show some respect instead of telling women to dress differently.

I'm very thankful i don't experience this on a daily bases, because of the town i am in. But i also know just walking past a man on the sidewalk going to school is absolutely terrifying for me, and at times i make a fist by my side just in case, or get my pepper spray out of my bag. i couldn't imagine being followed. so sorry to anyone who gets harassed often. sending good energy, and protection. blessed be.

The first dad could pass as her brother or boyfriend. He looks young AF 😊

“You have pretty eyes” *is a good 10ft away* 🤣🤣🤣

I’m catcalled currently while being pregnant...visibly 37 weeks pregnant.

The ending was perfect

This has happened to me frequently. I take the kind compliments and graciously say thank you. It’s when people stay in your space and attempt to have a long conversation and follow you that it becomes very uncomfortable. So I moved to a free state and now I carry. Lol

I have a baby face. I was waiting for the bus when a guy aproached me, he talked about his life and properties and other stuff, the he asked how old I was, I said: 24 and he look dissapointed. "I thought you were 15" he said

They be taking notes, rewatching the video and remembering the voices places and faces of those soon to be past tense

If I was old enough to walk around alone, and I ever got cat-called and my dad saw the clip, my dad wouldn't even care if I was cat-called. These girls are lucky to have fathers who care about them, because nobody cares about me. I won't be shocked if I get cat-called (or worse) and my family doesn't care....Nobody cares about me.

The way the third dad looks like and talks, he probably ordered his men to hunt all the dudes who catcalled his daughter and they’re now tied up in his office. Her dad sits on his king sized chair, 2 of his men stand next to him and 4 holding guns stand next to the tied up dudes and a big portrait of his daughter hangs behind him on the wall. Lmao

The sad thing is if I did this with my dad he would probably say "What were you wearing?" and not question the men...

a group of guys were catcalling my eister once even though she was standing right beside my dad they were obviously family and my dad is kinda intimidating ngl

"If you were present, what would you say?" "I think there would be a fistfight." 💀

I wanna see a video where catcallers watch their daughters get catcalled.

They should make “husbands react to wives getting catcalled”

The end cut off is pure gold and peak comedy

I was somewhere between the age of 7 and 8. I was dressed in pink with shoes that lit up, pig tails with bows. A grown man at a museum pulled my hair and winked at me. I was 11-12, pink tie dye bikini, flat as a board. Fully grown man staring at me. I was 15, catcalled on the street, whistled at and hit on by drunk guys. This shouldn't be "normal", and women should not be getting the blame for it

Here’s my thing. I wanna see a dad watching his son catcall women. I feel like that would be true terror for them.

catcaller: whats your number? me: *proceeds to give my fathers phone number*

Loool the dad at the end, definitely seething

i was really young when i found out abt cat calling and it fills u with this feeling of un easiness i was 10 yrs old when i got cat called and i wish it upon no one.

“ITS SUMMER TIME ANIMALS ARE OUT” I am deceased

For the people wondering, the cameraman has probably hidden a camera on his backpack or something. He isn't just walking in front of her facing her with a camera, no. 😂

I love that OG the last one. I love the fact im 20 and felt every thing he said aloud makes me feel better gangsta way!
