This is a YouTube video titled "Navigating Unsolicited Comments: A Guide for Women Creators" featuring a discussion between two speakers about the challenges women face with unsolicited and inappropriate comments when creating video content. The conversation addresses strategies for managing harassment and building confidence, particularly in professional and creative online spaces. The content was created in February 2025.
Every time I create a video, I have creeps dming me. And I think that needs to be acknowledged more because every other guru is going to be out there saying, hey, you got to create video. Show up, show up. But they're not the ones that have to worry about, like, the rude, disgusting, unsolicited comments. So if you don't mind sharing some advice on how, like, especially our female listeners can, can manage that, that obviously, like, an experience they never want to even encounter in the first place. But what is the best way that you think they can manage those, those, those lewd comments they're getting?
You know, I don't, I don't know the, the right way to manage that. And I think everyone handles it differently. And things. Women have been through a lot more worse things and harassment, even in the workplace and outside of it. And I don't want to, like, speak on that, like the best way to handle it. I think there's a multitude of avenues. I think it does take a very confident woman specifically to implement the strategies that you're saying and post yourself online. And I think I had so much confidence in 2020 to post myself without makeup in my dimly lit bedroom and make jokes and put the hate comments aside. And I think that's way easier said than done. So when I'm advising women specifically on content creation, it's like, maybe start on LinkedIn, maybe start with a photo and text post. And not even. This is everyone in general who's not comfortable with video. But I think it's really hard to be in this position, especially in the, like, finance corporate category, where you're not lifted up constantly and there's a lot of people tearing you down. And in comedy, no. So I get comments from men all the time, like, stop making jokes. You're not funny. And it's like, okay, you don't, you don't have to like this stuff.
