Stop Yelling At Me and Doing Gross Things Near Me Mister.



If you are a woman here in NYC, you may experience a heightened frequency of cat calls unheard of in other parts of the U.S. Okay, so maybe it's just big cities in general. Anywhere that requires walking as a major form of transportation has the added bonus of random skeazy dudes yelling at you every time you leave your house. Or leering. Or trying to touch your hand when you buy things from them at your local corner store. Fun times.

I discovered today that the MTA is putting up anti-harassment ads on the subway. Interesting, heartening, but probably ultimately ineffectual, here is a link.
