Wondered what people's take on this would be. I was amazed to see the feedback and comments on this when it popped up on my Facebook. Even other women were villifying her!!

Catcalling is an understatement. Zero fucks given about what happened to their van.

Sure she broke the law but I'm not going to blame her for getting back at assholes. Screw those guys.

Is it even cat-calling when they were straight up fucking grabbing at her? Fuck them, they deserve worse.

Good on her for not taking that shit.

"But how else r u supposed to let hur kno u like hur?"

Fuck catcalling. I actually said "Fuck yeah" out loud when she ripped that off.

Angering the drivers of a multi-ton vehicle when you're on a bike is ill-advised.

If they did something, they'd go to jail. She doesn't have to tolerate their BS just because they could run her down or kill her

My only problem with this is that she could possibly not cause even more damage to their vehicle in a quick enough time.

But good on her. And fuck catcallers.

I want this to be real. I used to follow my wife about 5 feet behind in the streets of NYC to see what her life was like when I wasn't around and almost got into a couple fist fights. People can be straight up awful to women on the streets. So, this made me feel good.

But this seems a little staged.

i'm usually not #teamfake but the whole setup looks staged (remember skater kid?). If real, more power to her.

Personally, I wouldn't escalate the situation like that especially when I'm on a bike. But kudos to her cause those dudes were terrible.

Wait. I could just walk up to a car and dismantle a car mirror like that in seconds?

Gonna put this on the bucket list next to kicking doors in and punching through a windshield

I am totally team fake on this one. Even the OP seems like an ad.

The list of videos on the channel is a little...interesting.

She doesn't "have" to do anything, but getting injured over your sense of pride is pretty dumb. There are recourse to someone actually physically assaulting you like in the video without resorting to property damage and running off hoping they don't follow.

And yeah, the video is likely staged or 100% fake. The guy's channel does not inspire confidence.

Good. Getting catcalled is horrible. My favourite is still that guy who wanted to know if my titties were cold. I wish he had been on foot instead of a bike so I could have punted him into traffic.

I didn't expect she'll go she-Hulk on the mirror. It's a shame that no one intervened at the beginning of the video.

The drivers indeed were scum, but the van looked to be company owned, so I am sure that the drivers just laughed as they suffered no harm when the mirror was broken off. If the owner asks them about the busted mirror, they will just tell the owner that they have no idea what happened to it.

I do wonder why the biker followed her

Motorbike guy goes hella fast till he catches up with her, then the guys in the van yelling loud enough so you could hear them on a gopro, then after it was all over, the bike follows the girl slowly enough to "catch" the escalation.

English accent always gets me when they're being angry

"That's exactly what you get you SCUM!"

Sounded like someone is about to sword fight

Lmao @ the motorcyclist

Why was he filming her though

Has the helmet cam on, sees something interesting, pursues it (either out of curiosity or to ensure that lady doesn't get hurt?)

If this is real then good on her! Ripped that mirror right off. While not completely fragile they're not that bolted down. They break and can be knocked off with limited force and she clearly had the motivation at the time to do it. Even if its stage it's still a good example of what women go through. Even worse because of what the asshole is doing with the van.
