Women Expose Street Harassment
By Elana Fiske, Ms. Magazine
Women who are cat-called on the street can put their harassers to shame with the help of a New York-based website.

Though I have some reservations about this website, I think it is a brilliant idea. Street harassment is so real and so common, and let me tell you, it feels awful, every time. It makes a woman feel objectified, powerless, and ashamed. The sad part is that I think it is so ingrained in our culture and so much a part of what we perceive as "normal" man-woman interaction, that it is just accepted without any real criticism. It is frustrating that men don't seem to understand how terrible it makes a woman feel. It isn't a compliment, assholes!
