Poll and Xpost from Feminists Group: Radio Show Segment on Street Harassment

[stevenleser]

This Sunday/Monday I'm doing a segment on street harassment on my radio show

I'll post a link when up, I have two special guests for that segment. In it, I mention Hollaback ihollaback.org and thought I would share this.

Thanks

4. You must not be a woman

Hell, when I was younger I was harassed not just by construction workers what seemed like two or three times a week, but once by an entire group of New York City policemen making lewd comments as I was walking down the street with my dog. I can still feel the humiliation and anger at my inability to strike back at these men in positions of power ... who happened to have guns when I didn't. I went home and cried.

It happens every day in the US, on streets, in offices, at shopping malls. I'm only glad I'm too old to be harassed anymore.

5. I am from the South

I think the openly harassing a strange woman on the street thing is more common up north. That is not to say the south is less sexist - far from it. It just happens in different ways. I have seen it in Latin America, especially Mexico, where my family is from. But not in Texas. I have also seen it in Italy.
