Woman Puts Random Man in His Place for Commenting on Her Skirt—'Don't Care'

A woman who filmed a man's unwelcome comment to her on the street has gone viral for her "perfect" response.

Rae Lora, 27, is a musician and model living in the United Kingdom, who regularly films herself interacting with people on the street for her TikTok page @raeeloraaofficial.

From challenging people to correctly guess her age or interviewing passersby about where they bought their outfits, Lora is often out and about with a microphone.

But recently her mic picked up a different interaction, as she said "a random man came up to me and decided to tell me his opinion on how I'm dressed."

In the clip, which has been viewed more than 720,000 times since being uploaded on April 12, a man can be heard telling her: "Just thought you should know, just a little too short."

Referring to her skirt, he went on: "Trust me. From a man's point of view."

Lora responded: "Nah. Nah. I don't care."

The man, who is off-camera, said sarcastically: "That's a good attitude," to which she replied: "That's why I'm wearing it. But thanks for your input."

There has been a huge response to the video, which you can watch here, and Lora told Newsweek the interaction made her "really angry."

"We'd just turned on the mic to do a sound check for some street interviews and then it happened," she said.

"It made me really angry as I was minding my own business and he just thought he could come and say that to me. Shows more what he was thinking about I think. It was only a normal denim skirt that loads of people wear!"

And it's not the first time men have given unwanted comments on her looks, she revealed.

"I've done hair modeling and I've had men comment on my hair about how they don't like it and 'why would I do that to myself,'" she said.

She went on: "Unfortunately I don't think things will change, it seems to be so common and it's sad."

Founder and executive director of Stop Street Harassment, Holly Kearl, previously told Newsweek that there is no "right" way to deal with harassers.

"Every situation and person are different and often a person only has a second or two to assess their safety and decide what to do," she said. "Whatever people choose in that second as their response is fine."

She urged caution however, as "many harassers are trying to exert power and if they feel threatened by the response, they may escalate."

While Lora is based in Birmingham in the U.K., in the United States, one in three women and approximately one in nine men have experienced sexual harassment in a public place, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Lora has received some major support from some commenters on her video, such as one user who wrote: "Perfect response, hopefully he thinks twice about giving his unsolicited opinion next time!"

"I think 'nah' was the perfect response," another user wrote, while one said: "Nah. Nah. Love it." Another commented: "Well said!"

But some accused her of wanting "attention" or even faking the video, though Lora was quickly defended by other users in the comments.

Lora told Newsweek: "I get a bit of hate on some of my videos as I do street interviews, so to get some support is really nice. We need to stick together and lift each other up rather than bring each other down."

Sharing some advice, she urged people to "stay safe and always be careful."

"Keep your phones on you and make sure people know where you are if you're alone. All my friends have my location on their phones, I have theirs, all for safety," she said.
