This Week in Street Harassment...

The New York Times covers “Hey Baby,” the street harassment video game. I was shocked the author hadn’t experienced street harassment personally, until I noticed the name “Seth” in the by-line…woops! http://nyti.ms/dmbEs7 Also, listen to our own Emily May discuss the video game with the creator on NPR: http://n.pr/cAs6pb ***Favorite Emily quote of the interview: “No, I did not like shooting guys at all. I will be totally frank. It totally freaked me out… I would much rather have had a bar of soap to go around washing their mouths out with than I would a gun.” For anyone in your life who needs an educational introduction to the problem of street harassment, Melody Thomas “calls out the catcallers” and even gives a shout out to Hollaback! http://bit.ly/a92Goj Miss D.C. has been speaking out about street harassment, and defends her position in a new interview: http://bit.ly/bID3sU Here is an update on global street harassment and the response to “eve teasing” in Bangladesh: http://bit.ly/9O47P5 More coverage of “Eve Teasing Protection Day” is available here: http://bit.ly/bMMOB7 And finally, let’s not forget that HOLLABACK LONDON has LAUNCHED!!!!! http://www.hollabackldn.com/ I heart solidarity.
