Plot
Hadleigh-West turns her camera on men throughout the United States, asking them why they whistle at or make comments at women who pass them on the street. In response, some men feel compelled to apologize, hit her, yell at her, or engage her in conversation. "Through these conversations, Hadleigh-West reveals the anger, fear and frustration as well as the affection, admiration and humor that characterizes relationships between men and women."[1]

Now, you could say "but in capitalism they'll just make the cheapest one", but companies are directly subservient to what consumers actually want and can't get away with that.

gollark: With a government.
