A woman has taken to social media to slam the actions of men after a guy followed her for five miles... just so he could tell her she was "pretty".

As reported by Indy100, the video was shared by a social worker by the name of Kenny, who posts to Tiktok under the handle @buzzcutkenny.

Over the weekend, Kenny posted a video detailing how a male stranger followed her back to her apartment complex just to pay her a compliment. She captioned the disturbing video: "I hate males WHY WOULD THIS EVER BE OK".

Sitting in a vehicle, she starts by saying: "At this point, I’m sorry, but men should not have rights - at this point. Listen to what just happened..."

Check out the video below:

(Kenny did later clarify her choice of words in the comments section, saying: "I don’t actually think men shouldn’t have rights, holy s**t: y’all are just terrifying."

In the video, she continues by explaining: "So I just got home and there was a car who pulled up behind me, right, which is fine because I live in an apartment complex and that’s normal."

"But this car wedges itself between me and the parking garage, and there’s a man in it," she adds. "He motions for me to roll my window down, so I did and I was like, ‘Can I help you?’"

The male stranger then asks if Kenny lived in the building, to which a concerned Kenny replied "no" and that she was just there visiting a friend.

He then reveals that he saw Kenny at a red light, and opted to follow her for five miles just to let her know she is pretty. An understandably furious and concerned Kenny then asks: "In what f**king world is that appropriate?"

Amazingly - but perhaps unsurprisingly - there were actually comments from users defending the man's actions.

One TikTok user wrote: "He probably didn't want to cause an accident or hold up traffic. [He] just wanted to give you a compliment."

However, these sorts of comments were quickly shut down - with one person having to explain: "Men, listen to what she's saying. This kind of behavior scares women. This about that, next time you consider doing something like this!"

A second added: "All these men saying 'not all men' will change their tune when it comes to their daughters. But no one wants to talk about that".

A third bluntly suggested: "When you pass someone that is pretty or whatever... you just think 'she's pretty' and go about your day. You do NOT follow them to compliment then!"

And fourth commented: "The wedging, the interrogation and the stalking all red flags. Never have I wanted to meet someone so bad."

But perhaps what was even more distressing was the number of other women sharing their own stories about being approached in public:

Put simply: This is unacceptable.
