Women often have to go through uncomfortable experiences while travelling in public transport. One clip related to this is gaining traction on social media, which shows a woman standing up for herself and handling harassment. The post was shared by Instagram. The clip seems to have been captured in a busy metro, occupied with commuters. A woman stands quietly in the centre space of the train, dressed in party attire. We suddenly see a guy in a white shirt, sitting across from her to the side. He lifts his mobile phone in the woman’s direction, while its flash switches on, indicating that he is recording her. When the woman notices him, she immediately walks up to him and gives him a slap. As the two engage in an argument, the camera zooms in on the onlookers standing or sitting in the vicinity. Each person gives an expression of either surprise or amusement. The post is shared with a question in the caption, written in Portuguese, which translates to, “What would you do?”
Users share their reactions to the video in the replies below, many questioning the authenticity of the clip. The first user wrote, “Lack of ideas to record?? It looks like a scene from a Mexican soap opera.” A second user shared, seemingly supporting the woman, “If it were me I would do it the same way.” A third user wrote, “This test is good to see people’s reactions lol.” A fourth user shared, “Of course the guy is totally wrong.” The post has been viewed more than 6.2 million times on the platform.
