It’s something that your girlfriends probably deal with when you’re not around: catcalling.

But unless you experience it firsthand — whether you’re a man who catcalls or a woman who gets catcalled — you probably don’t understand the severity of it.

So, in order to put things into perspective, Cosmopolitan.com had a camera follow around a few women in New York City and asked their boyfriends to watch what they had to endure.

After watching multiple men make inappropriate comments towards his girlfriend Olivia, Seth remarked that he was “getting pissed off.”

“I’m not happy with this,” he said.

Some of the call-outs include comments about how “gorgeous” she is, her body and calling her a “prize” or “baby girl.”

After Olivia passes a strip club, one man yells out, “We’re hiring!”

“Real tasteful,” her boyfriend says sarcastically.

Jon, after watching his girlfriend Tessa receive similar treatment, tells her “those people are scary.”

“It sucks. I’m glad that that people are making it an issue and not standing for it anymore,” he said.

And the last couple, Miguel and Amy, watch on as men make some pretty nasty comments towards her.

“You’re somebody’s daughter… somebody’s sister,” Miguel says, disgusted. “I’m sure if somebody did that to their mother or their cousin or something they wouldn’t appreciate it.”

The video has so far racked up more than four million views, and begs the question: how would you react if you saw your girlfriend being catcalled?
