"The Oppressed Majority"
That's the title of an 11-minute video that has gone viral on YouTube.
Imagine a world in which one sex is oppressed by the other, in which you can't dress attractively and walk down a city street without enduring wolf whistles and degrading comments and disgusting sexual innuendos.
You say we already live in such a world? Yes, but imagine if the roles were reversed. We live in a world where most cops are men and most of the victims of sexual assaults -- verbal or physical -- are women.
French filmmaker Eléonore Pourriat has created a video that shows what a world would look like where male and female stereotypes are switched.
It's a brilliant series of vignettes. A househusband is taking his young 'un out for a walk in its stroller, and drops the toddler off at a day-care center run by another househusband. Later, he is harassed by lecherous women in the streets, then attacked physically, then has to undergo the mortification of being interrogated at the police station by a female officer when he tried to report the sexist assault.
It's an awesome look at who we are, and who we shouldn't be.

HAH! now perhaps some people in the world will realize why Islam insists on modesty and why the Muslim women wear hijab and cover themselves like the way they do.
Thanks Bob.
I saw this before. I guess it is an eye opener for many...
Wow!
I wish we had the rec button so I could rec your post!
HUGS!!!
Believe it, or not, when I say....This is happening more often then most people realize.
Men are assaulted, and yes even raped not only by women, but by other men.....
Domestic assaults are not just women being beaten by men, but also by men being beaten by women....
This's a sad, sad world we're living in..
