Oct 30, 2014 2:19 PM UTC [10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Man ](http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/8aeb78deb2/10-hours-of-walking-in-nyc-as-a-man) – watch more [funny videos](http://www.funnyordie.com/) On Tuesday, the anti-street harassment activist group [Hollaback](http://www.ihollaback.org/) released a [video](http://time.com/3543632/street-harassment-hollaback-video/) of a young woman walking around New York City for a day, experiencing more than a hundred instances of harassment from men. Now, Funny or Die shows us the other side of the coin: what it’s like to walk the city streets as a white man. The video serves as a reminder that the flip side of sexism is privilege, and as the video’s ample footballs and high-fives suggest, a very bro-tastic kind of privilege, indeed. While the parody will ring true to any white man who’s fully aware of the privilege his sex and race afford him, it’s important to remember that not everyone’s in on the joke. Following the virality of Hollaback’s video, the woman in the video received [rape threats](http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/29/woman-records-10-hours-of-harassment-walking-through-new-york), which serve only as further proof that efforts like Hollaback’s are sorely needed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3548123/funny-or-die-white-man-street-harassment-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3548123/funny-or-die-white-man-street-harassment-video/"},"headline":"Here’s What It’s Like to Walk the Streets of NYC as a White Man, According to Funny or Die","datePublished":"2014-10-30T14:19:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:14.289Z","description":"Hint: a lot of high-fives are involved","url":"https://time.com/3548123/funny-or-die-white-man-street-harassment-video/","keywords":["Living","gender","Comedy","New York","New York City","video","Humor","Funny or Die","sexism","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt956d20e348ae998e/69876357e53aba7ceb4d5515/screen-shot-2014-10-30-at-10-15-40-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt956d20e348ae998e/69876357e53aba7ceb4d5515/screen-shot-2014-10-30-at-10-15-40-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-10-30 at 10.15.40 AM","caption":"","creditText":"Funny or Die","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3548123/funny-or-die-white-man-street-harassment-video/","name":"Here’s What It’s Like to Walk the Streets of NYC as a White Man, According to Funny or Die"}}]}] ```
