Cool street art alert: “Women do not owe you their time or conversation”

[ismnotwasm]

I thought this was cool, and wanted to share. Nothing like art to to a point across

We’ve mentioned this street art before when it popped up in Philly, although I didn’t know then who was behind it. According to NPR, these anti-street harassment posters are the work of artist Tatayana Fazlalizadeh who’s been dodging cops in the cover of darkness to put them up in her neighborhood in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

Fazlalizadeh says the frequent cat calls she receives inspired her. ”It happens almost daily to me,” she says, “so I wanted to express myself and speak up for myself.”

1. Nice... I'd seen the one about not telling women to smile, but that's it.

Thanks for posting this

2. I hope this gets traction

There was an ugly discussion on DU a few months ago about how women should trust men they meet in public more because not all of them are dangerous.

Leave the poor women alone, you freaks!!
