Glamour was curious to see how women get treated on Periscope, a new live-streaming app. So, they brought in a bunch of willing participants and filmed their experience:
Periscope allows you to stream your life while others comment. Glamour tried it with a guy and noticed that only four people on the whole app were watching. What would it be like for women?
Right away, the viewers came flocking. They began asking personal questions as well.
Afterwards, the women reflected on their experience and discussed the creepy comments.
They were hoping that maybe it was young kids and not adults who were saying that kind of stuff to them.
Ultimately, it was a pretty depressing experience that was a lot like being catcalled on the street. The women were objectified almost immediately and treated as if they had no worth.
