If the topic of the “experiment” is to assess the frequency at wich women are harassed in the streets of NYC, the aim of the video is to go viral (in order to obtain public awareness of the results). And one can see multiple flaws :

First, the “experiment” is done with only one woman. Hence, even asserting that she is “average looking” does not make her a representative sample of the population who is victim of harassement (beauty being subjective, average look being impossible to define, the “experiment” should have been done using multiple women in order to have something close to a statistical rate of harassement of women by men).

Second, there is a hudge bias from the start : the women does not show any reaction. So the response to this harassment is not a realistic one. (do not tell me one can walk 10 hours being harassed without ever saying a word. Or give me proofs of this)

Third point : The experiment is not about “the harassement rates of women by men” but about “the harassement of a single silent woman (whose physical features and gestual behavior can have an influence) by men in some streets in NYC.”

Lastly, the video discredits the study by being heavily biased. It’s the researcher’s job to make sure their hard work is used responsibly. Otherwise they have to accept being responsible for the heavy implications the video have.
