You've probably seen the recently published video of a woman who walked around the streets of New York for 10 hours and recorded several incidents in which she was harassed.

But what happens when a white man walking the streets of that same city? Turns out, he also gets called out a lot, but the "harassment" he receives is of a completely different sort.

Funny or Die did a take on the original video, and while the idea is primarily to make you laugh, the video raises some important questions.

The man in the video is pretty much treated like a king -- he's showered with gifts and compliments and at one point, a girl offers him a job. And while that's far from reality, many men who don't receive verbal harassment on the streets -- unlike women -- probably aren't even aware that the problem exists.

The video ends with an ironic note: "If you want to help, please do nothing. Leave the patriarchy in place."
