Sons React to Their Moms Getting Catcalled | Iris 

Why was the youngest boy more respectful then the older men? He seemed genuinely disgusted and the others we just like “Oop well it is what it is’

Let me hookup with some random person on the street harrassing me -Said no one ever

Women: Breathe Douches: It's free real estate

Can we just agree the kid is the most matured and most sensible one out of all

Woman: *minds her business and acts like a normal person* Creepy men: Ah, so you're into me?

Y’all don’t forget, yes u should practice self defence, but raise BOYS with respect for women

the teenage boy was the smartest one there. The other guys were playing it down saying how yes they are beautiful and how it is what it is. But the younger boy actually tried to put himself in his moms shoes and said how catcalling objectifies women and makes us uncomfortable. proud to see boys my age finally being respectful towards women, raised right :)

"She's pretty. It's obviously gonna happen." It's sad how people think.

I feel like the second son had the most appropriate answers. He was still calling his mum beautiful and without making 'excuses' (like saying 'it happens')for the men on the street. He understands that it's disrespectful to women. This lady is raising her son right.

Once this guy winked at make the kissing sound at me and I just pulled the fucking ugliest face I could and he was terrified

You can tell that the older guys are only annoyed because it’s their mom. They’re saying it’s weird and stuff, but they aren’t understanding that its just not okay because those comments are objectifying. You can tell they see catcalling in general as normal.

The first dude really pissed me off. "She's beautiful it happens." Are you serious?

I feel sorry for the last lady when she said she missed dressing up but she just cant 😢

I bet all girls can agree that being catcalled in any way,shape or form isn't ok because you still get bothered by it ._.

Sons reacting to their moms being catcalled: Eh, it sucks I guess Daughters: * pull out knives *

Imagine taking part in this experiment & no one catcalls you lol

I still get catcalled when I was 15 with just my hoodie and sweatpants on 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

My mom: *Gets catcalled* Me and my siblings: *It appears you have chosen ✨D E A T H✨*

I've had a guy catcall me outside of a convenience store, and when I didn't respond, some other old man chastised me for not responding to him. Like WTF? Then the dude FOLLOWED me to my house, I had to walk past my house so he didn't know where I lived until he gave up. This was in broad daylight. I don't know what would have happened if it was dark out.

The first guy is just focused on how obviously men would be attracted to his mom not on how she feels when she can't just take a nice walk without guys catcalling her over and over

damn the black mom looks the same age as her son

Women: doing anything at all. Men: 🧚is this to get my attention?🧚

If you get catcalled just bark at them, it allways works

Woman minding her own business: Creepy man: and I took that ✨personally✨

Boyfriends react to their girlfriends getting catcalled👀

The white boy kinda looks like a golden retriever in a good way

Elizabeth made me cry, she’s right. It sucks that sometimes we have to tone down our femininity, because we don’t want to get harassed. It’s emotionally exhausting.

Iam 14 and I get catcalled that's sad and the thing that really makes me sad is that most of those guys look way older than me there's about 50 years old men catcalled me they are as the same age as my dad. RESPECT?!

Last time my brother catcalled some girls and I panicked and literally yelled *HE DON’T HAVE A BIG WENNIE SO RUN*

If someone catcalls my mom.... *I yeet my dad into that person*

First dude is 100% a catcaller 😂 you can see him squirming trying to justify it

video: shows moms getting catcalled literally everyone in the comments: relates this is such a huge freaking problem.

Men : *sees a cow* Men: *lemme hear you say moo baby mama*

They did an experiment in Egypt where a young woman catcalled men, almost all of the men felt very uncomfortable.

Props to the blonde mother and son, Angela and Max, on raising her son right. He has more insight then adult men. A child understands that if it happened to him he would feel objectified. I'm in awe of this. We need more people like this in the world 🌎 🙏

I feel what the last woman said it’s so sad I will not want to dress a certain way if I’m alone. It shouldn’t be like that.

"when a male figure isn't there, they are more likely to do it" yes ! because they respect other men's ""property"" more then the women herself. Also they are scared the man will punch them for being so disrespectluf, they forget women can punch hard too.

No one should have to change their style to prevent being uncomfortable when cat called

“She’s beautiful, it happens.” I got catcalled when i was 8 all the time by young adults but yeah totally fine😐

“She’s too old for you. Go to school.” One of my new favorite lines

“You’re supposed say, ‘I get it from my momma..’” 👏🏽 Preach. 😂

One time I got catcalled when I was walking into a restaurant with my family I was 12

I can't believe we feel the need to PRAISE that second guy when all he was doing was being a decent human being

I was catcalled first and then tailed several times by unknown men in cars, when I was using public transport to get to my business school and they tailed me right down to my doorstep and those were the scariest times in my life. They tailed me in broad daylight and I felt so helpless and terrible being a girl 😞 since those incidents happened, I have never used public transport and I was scared even to drive alone. Then, once I was tailed by a police car, and I stopped to ask why, they were smiling and asked me “how much should we pay you for an hour!” I mean, they were the police!! I ran as fast as I could and hid in a toilet stall in our school. I feel the world is such a horrible place, and being a woman sucks ☹️😔

That last boy just nailed it !!!!! "If i was uncomfortable and someone would keep saying that to me then i would probably feel like an object". Can't get any true boy 👏👏👏

Even just a remark like, "Hey pretty lady" is threatening - it isn't just a fact, it is a stranger taking a physical interest in you and as a woman, that can be dangerous. We can't tell if some guy is harmless - every comment sets off alarm bells.

Me walking in shorts and a shirt in the summer: Boys: yOurE aSkInG fOr iT Me: *Excuse me i am sensitive to heat, if i overheat i’d likely pass out.*

"this is normal, she is beautiful" "he looks like older than her" and sentences like that just proves their ignorance bout women rights and feminism which disappointed me a lot. not being an catcaller is not enough men should know our rights and respect them. wish there were enough education to teach and get over this bullshits tigether but this seems so far away :(

the second son tho "why would u walk up to a person and say that"

should SERIOUSLY do one on 'DAUGHTERS REACT TO DADS CATCALLING ON STREET'

I think it’s so stupid that if you’re being catcalled, and you tell them “I have a boyfriend,” THEN they back off. You’re going to respect a man you haven’t met yet rather than the woman standing right in front of you?

I go out looking like a complete slob deliberately, to avoid this, but still get catcalled. It doesn't matter what you do, it's going to happen until people start teaching their kids right. Having sons witness it being done to their moms is a great start.

what the last mother said...I almost cried because it's so true :(

I was in NY with my cousin and she is 14. A lot of older men were cat calling her😑😑🤦🏽‍♀️

the last mom literally looks younger than her son... i wanna know all her skincare secrets.

As I live on my own as a 19 year old now, catcalling does not happen as much as when I was 13. This video reminded me of it, and thought I would share. In my small town, the 7-12 grades were all combined. I was a reserved and quiet person who was insecure; When I was 13, I had already hit puberty young so had some curves and not as much baby fat on my face, and I looked older than even some of the 17-18 year old girls. I HAD to pass through a certain hallway to reach my English class during 5th period. Well, in this hallway most of the time these SENIOR guys would whistle at me as I walked by. This would only, of course, happen when I walked to class alone, which was most of the time. If someone walked with me, or other people (especially guys) walked in the same hallway they just stared instead of being vocal. Somehow, the staring was all the creepier tbh. Looking back, I wish I had the confidence to at least glare at them. Now a 19 year old, in my area that I have moved to for college (which is still small), i get occasional stares but it does not happen all the time (at least the stuff i notice). My seventh grade year was when i experienced the more "vocal" creepiness. Freaked me out when these guys who were five years older than me and at least a foot taller than me (I am 5'10") were being major weirdoes. This is actually the only time I have ever shared this uncomfortable story. I am honestly so happy that my confidence grew in high school to where I am a no nonsense type of person. Sorry this was long and 5 years too late, but oh well. And anyone going through this, talk to someone. I wish I did.

I remember when I was 6 hanging out with my mom and my dad caught a guy staring at my mom and me being a hero I said *"WHAT CHA STARIN AT HUH PUNK?!"* it took my mom and dad 3 hours for them to stop laughing

It's literally one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world to be catcalled

Tbh I do not mind if a man comes up to me and tells me my hair is nice or my outfit is nice. But when they comment on my body or start FOLLOWING ME that’s an issue.

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 highly dislike when guys are like "what can you not take a compliment?" "Can't a guy tell a girl she's pretty?" "Can't we flirt?" Like YES you can but not every time is the right time. If a girl is minding her own business walking down the street trying to get somewhere and you yell "Hey sexy!" "Hey beautiful!" It's like wtf. You don't even know her and you're yelling like a maniac at her. It's disrespectful and you're only talking to her because of how she looks. If you want to flirt then go to a bar, a club, school, etc. And don't yell say some thing like "hi I'm ___ what's your name?" or "hello beautiful how's it going?" (Lol idk how to flirt like a guy) but something like that. And if a girl rejects you then she isn't interested JUST LEAVE. Okay rant over.

Me after realizing that I'm going to be still catcalled for the next 40 years 👁👄👁

My Mum: *Gets catcalled* My brother and I: Your free trial of life has expired.

There's a big difference between a sincere compliment (which yes you can give to strangers) and cat calling. Cat calling is done with a specific intent and that's not respect and it doesn't just happen.

The worst catcalling I ever experienced was a 30 year old man following me around with his car for like 4 blocks saying to me disgusting stuff like "I wanna lick your thighs". It wasnt even night. It was an afternoon in a rather quiet neighborhood. I was 15 at that time but I somehow found the courage and told him "Can you just fucking leave?". Thank God he left. Imagine if it was someone sicker.

the second kid was adorable and the third mum was so beautiful! xx

I understand what the last lady was talking about, I would LOVE to dress up, do my makeup and hair but than again, no one wants 20-30 ppl catcalling you

I remember being heavily pregnant (8 months plus) and getting hit on in the grocery store.

They should do Brother reacts to Sister getting catcalled

Anyone else notice the blonde kid's eyebrows? Damn son, shit's on fleek.

Even as a boy I hate that when women do it and when I complain everyone always says "don't be so!negative it's a compliment " As I much as I hate that they think it's fine what I hate more is........ THE FACT THAT THEY TOLD ME DON'T BE SO NEGATIVE BEING NEGATIVE IS LITERALLY MY THING THAT WHY PEOPLE CALL ME A PESSIMIST

Men should teach their sons to NEVER OBJECTIFY WOMEN. Catcalling in all forms is disrespecting someone's space, and it's objectification of women no matter what excuse you reason it with.

What bothers me more are usually reactions on catcalling theme, where it seems like guys seriously dont see the line between normal flirting and being creepy.

“Cat calling is just a compliment” if that is the case, why don’t any guys do it when there’s a man accompanying a woman or if they don’t have a getaway vehicle? When I get cat called, I am always alone and vulnerable. No one dare does it when my husband is around even though he looks like a teddy bear.

A few months ago my friends and I were walking down the street in Tokyo and these group of guys zoomed past us in their car and yelled “you’re beautiful!” And honestly that made me happy. For some reason I get really uncomfortable when it comes to people staring at me, following me and catcalling but those guys made my day. I can’t explain it.

It’s one thing to go up to someone and say “hey look, I just wanted to tell you that you look really nice.” And then leave them alone, if they ignore you, they are just trying to protect themselves. but it’s another thing to call out stuff like “hey pretty lady” etc and touch them and follow them.

This kind of man don't have self respect

I be ready to fight when ppl say shit to my mom . Like mind ya business .

Me : * Gets Cat Called * Me : * Casually Calls Mom *

“It happens. But i hate it though.” This!!! This is what i always want to hear at the end of it happens and it’s so rare to hear I absolutely love that

I hate the fact that this video has so much meaning but nobody is paying attention

how did i meet your father? well, he whistled at me, then yelled, "OI SEXY ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT CAN'T YOU TAKE A COMPLIMENT" and i just knew he was the one.

Thankyou for these! People need to see these . Bcz its very real.

I hate when people be like:oH iT'S tHe clOtHeS shE is aSkinG fOr iT How come lesbians/bi ppl/pan ppl or anyone else who is attracted to women and good raised men not be creepy when they see a women in a public place wearing a freacking skirt clothes was never the issue.

Wish people were classier than this.

*How did I not see this video until this year.*

I actually appreciate and it gives me faith in the future that the one person that I think answered the best to the clips they saw was the youngest kid of them all, maybe we are doing a little better with the newer generation. I honestly felt relieved hearing him talk.

The young boy was raised right, he was respectful and actually saw the problem.

I started to want to cry when she said "there are days where I want to dress up and do my hair"etc and :(( simply because she's a pretty woman, she doesn't feel safe to do that That's so sad

I don't get cat-called because I'm ugly and scary (: being ugly has it's benefits

These mom and son relationships are so wholesome. 💕💕

Boy have I got a story for you. So my older brother goes to college at UCLA and we visit him a lot even though we live in Loomis. So one time we were visiting him and we went to the Westwood CPK and got food ya know ya know. I was there with my mom, my older brother and my twin brother. (I'm a girl btw) My mom was 49, my older brother was 20, and my twin brother and I were 13. This man sat a the table next to us. Idk how old he was, but I think he was around my mom's age. He started complimenting her and saying how well she raised her children even though we were bashing each other's heads in like the immature children we were. She was also wearing her wedding ring so idk how he "didn't" see it. I'm never going to forget what he said. He was like, "Hey mama, wanna go get a coffee sometime? Just give me yo numba." It was kinda funny because my siblings and I just froze and stared at him and he got so uncomfortable that he ran to the bathroom and an employee came to the bathroom door asking if he was okay. Absolutely disgusting, but funny that he got the public humiliation that he deserved.

You should do husband react to their wife getting catcalled

1:14 Guy: What about girlfriends? The boy: actually, I'm gay

That last mom really spoke to my heart like no other 🤍

This is every single day for us

Yo, I love how the second kid is young and is able to recognise this is wrong. Good kid.

I'm 13-- and I got some weird-ass stuff said to me on the streets My 5-year cousin threw rocks at them and said "That's not re-pept-ful!"

I love how in the video it is treated like the issue it is

The first mother and son looked like a couple wows to the mums youth
