I heard George Carlin many many years ago quip, "it's ironic that most of the feminists clamoring for abortion rights, you wouldn't want to fuck anyways". Doesn't quite fit into this discussion, but reading through the thread made me think of it.

I checked out her FB page. Maybe she's one of the less blessed in the face but has perfect feet.

I personally think it was extremely dumb of the guy to say, "Well, you shouldn't have had your feet out there like that." A lot of males I noticed justify their actions by claiming it's the female's fault for causing him to act the way he did, as if the guy himself has no control over his actions.
However, the part in particular where I stopped taking the woman seriously is when she was sobbing to the Starbucks employee when the employee asked her what is wrong, and the woman started out by saying, "It's stupid, but..."
That tells me that she subconsciously knows that she's blowing the whole thing way out of proportion. If she genuinely took this whole situation seriously and it really did affect her that much, she wouldn't start off by saying, "It's stupid..." Similar to when us foot guys go to tell someone about your fondness for feet, and you say, "I know this sounds weird, but..." You're dead in the water because you're essentially conditioning the mind of the person you're speaking to into thinking that what you're about to say is weird. In this woman's case, stupid. When the employee essentially agreed with her that it was kind of stupid, she then further flew into a fit of rage because she felt the employee was failing to see her plight.
In my opinion based on this article, I don't glean that this woman gets much male attention. Generally, good looking females who get a lot of male attention wouldn't fly into a fit of rage over an innocuous comment over their feet. And if she certainly was that creeped out about it, most females wouldn't make it a point to go out of their way and confront the guy again and tell him how creeped out she is; she would simply just leave and/or if the guy left on his own, not follow him to confront him.
I personally think this woman sounds like a bit of a narcissist to me, and it's likely because she doesn't get much male attention to begin with so as her own defense mechanism in her mind, she's developed this tough outer shell where she builds herself up in her own mind and flatters herself. She probably does want male attention, but I bet the guy that complimented her feet wasn't the type of guy that she wanted male attention from in order to make her feel satisfied, so she just used it as a way to put the guy down and inflate her own ego.
To me, it was actually pretty funny; their argument in particular. I probably would have been laughing to myself as an onlooker because it sounds like to me it was essentially two socially maladjusted people interacting with one another. First, you have the guy who is probably not very smooth in his approach with women, trying to pick up on a woman who probably doesn't get picked up on very much to begin with. Just sounds like it'd be a funny sight to see, in my opinion.

Speaking of comedians, Bill Maher once said something that ties in with what people are saying in here: "50 Shades of Grey is only romantic because the guy is a billionaire. If he was living in a trailer, it'd be an episode of CSI:SVU."

I agree with everything BareSoles84 said. I might come back in here in a few days with my take on the word "objectification."

Overreact much?? Ansolutely blown out of proportion to further an activist agenda. Like she was just waiting for something like this to happen.

I understand harassment and have personally seen women get harrassed by pushy men and it's deplorable. But this? A man who just pays a compliment and walks off? Who says he even has a foot fetish? The man was obviously just trying to show her some positive attention.
I can't believe that these feminists and SJWs honestly believe it's an insult to compliment their body as the default setting. We are literally bred via attraction and people go out of their way to look presentable. A general non sexual compliment to most should be an accepting accord. This is not some patriarchal influence in our modern society, this is literally how we function as a species who wants to procreate.
And as far as harassment, it's the man who was harrassed. I understand what hyp is saying, but honestly you simply can't call every approach harassment. It's literally a detriment to our social functions. The man was cornered, lectured, and cussed at; how in the world is that appropriate behavior compared to dropping off a passing compliment?
Reading this girl get worked up over it all and I can't help but think that women like her have problems deeper than thier view of modern society. If men were 100% not allowed to approach women at all, ever, how would we ever attract mates?

I concur with all of what you said.
You mentioned that women like the one in the article, may have problems deeper than simply their view of modern society. I would agree, and I honestly think with a lot of these feminist types, their behavior actually stems from a deep seeded resentment and jealousy towards attractive females who routinely receive the male attention that they don't, and often from desireable males.
As I mentioned in my second post above, consequently, I believe these types of women develop a narcissistic, sense of entitlement in their minds to the point where if they can't have whatever other (attractive) women can have, then nobody (all women) can have it. And it's all under the guise that they're doing the female gender as an aggregate whole a favor, but as I've mentioned before, it's extremely rare that you will see an attractive female who routinely gets male attention complain about the things that a lot of feminists do, nor will they react the way this woman did to an otherwise, innocuous remark and compliment about her feet, which I'm sure to attractive females who probably get a lot of comments on their breasts or rear ends, would probably be a breath of fresh air.
As I mentioned, I think deep down, this woman probably DOES want male attention, but from the same caliber of males that attractive women can otherwise attract. This guy I'm presuming probably wasn't the type of guy that she felt "entitled" to, so she just used the situation as a way to inflate her own ego and flatter herself in the sense that she's in a position to reject and disparage someone, and claim that she finds it to be "harrassment" and "insulting" whenever guys approach her because they must be only after her body.

I'd be careful with assumptions like this. I do believe the SJW narrative is a little overzealous when I hear stories like that if this lady, but men certainly do have a habit of overstepping boundaries when they expect attention from women. A lot of women literally fear men's approach because of how aggressive, demanding, or crass they can be.
But in this case; a drive by compliment that doesn't have any direct sexual undertone? This lady is blowing things out of proportion.
Oh and I'm not 100% certain I believe her exchange went down quite how did. "Shouldn't have had your feet out there" sounds more like an embellishment for a good story than an actual response. Then again, he might have been so dumbfounded by the approach that these thoughtless words very well could have fallen out of his mouth..

A couple things to add. First, based on what I read this woman has a few deep seated issues as is apparent in her statement " I have had to demonstrate strength for much of my life, even when I didn’t quite have it, because I had to deal with a lot of bullshit." Trouble looking for a place to happen it seems.
I also agree with those who have stated that it isn't ok to make comments like that to someone you don't know. Is it ok to extend a compliment like "nice ass/butt" to a total stranger. No it isn't and to guys with a foot fetish it is pretty much the same thing. You can't say its only feet when you are sexually attracted to feet. Occasionally I see posts on this board labeled women who love showing off their feet (recent posting within the past week). I really doubt that many of these women are trying to arouse foot fetish guys. I think that women are becoming more aware of how common it is for men to be attract ted to their feet, especially when they are pretty. I think it helps our cause when we can show them a pleasurable experience in our intimate relations while restraining ourselves from impulsive public displays toward the objects of our desire. An ass man can't go around telling the girls they have nice asses and get caught sniffing up their office chairs and get away with it can he?

I have no problem complimenting a stranger in public. His comment was wrong and he shouldn't have talked to her the way he did. However, she should not have freaked out the way she did. At first, she had no clue if he has a fetish for feet, or was innocently complimenting her.
I have so much to add to this, but I'll leave it be here to avoid arguments.
