A two minute video of clips of a woman 10 hours walking in Manhattan wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Very quickly after this video was posted, the organization (Hollaback) and the lady in the video were flooded with threats of rape and other violence. As Jessica Price of Piazo publishing said on her Tumblr... Let’s lay this out in plain terms. Women are forced to feel uncomfortable and scared for walking down the damn street. Then, when one woman takes the time to show just how uncomfortable those interactions are, people threaten to physically assault her. If the video reminded us that women are constantly made to feel unsafe when they leave the house, the response is a reminder that women are constantly made to feel unsafe when they simply turn on their computer.
