So Jessica and I have a new theory. Our theory is an action-oriented response to cat-calling/street-harassment. The response to cat calling? Treat them like cats. Cats do not respond to criticism or disciplinary words. Cats respond best to positive reinforcement. When a woman walks by a man who does NOT harass her, she will positively reinforce that man by saying "Thank you for not harassing me today." Spray-bottles are also effective in teaching a cat that "no" means "no." So when a man DOES verbally harass her, she will say nothing, but she will spray him with water (which should be a nice water/vinegar solution... heavy on the vinegar) This is best tried first in very public situations, as we have yet to test the theory and do not want anyone getting hurt. When we do get the sudden burst of bravery to try these measures, we will let you all know how it goes.
