Woman harassed 108 times as she walks around New York. A million people have watched the video in a day. Might this help reshape our culture? From a Washington Post article by Gail Sullivan: One man says “Hello, good morning,” then follows Roberts for five minutes. Another says, “What’s up girl? How you doin?” When she doesn’t respond he reprimands her: “Somebody’s acknowledging you for being beautiful.” It goes on. “Damn.” “Hey baby.” “God bless you mami.” And on. “Smile,” one man says. She doesn’t. He commands her again: “Smile.” “Not a day goes by when I don’t experience this,” Roberts told NBC. Her experience isn’t unusual. Many women experience street harassment in the form of catcalls, winks or even simple greetings like “hello” that take on a different meaning when they come from a stranger staring at your breasts. It happens at night. It happens during the day. It happens while walking to work, running in the park or shopping at the mall.
