For His Viewing Pleasure | Jane’s Story

This weekend I was walking to the train station and a man watched and ogled me for the entire block, even as I continued to give him dirty looks. He tried to talk to me when I got closer so I said, “Ew” and gave him another dirty look and kept walking.

I would like to add that this man was sitting on a bench with his whole stomach hanging out. So, in his mind, my outfit is nicely put together and I’m there on the street for his viewing pleasure and he doesn’t even have to put on a shirt all the way.

I've got your back!

We actively denounce the notion that street harassment is culturally accepted and that victims somehow "deserve" it. Through raising awareness and sharing experiences, we hope to put an end to catcalling, groping, stalking, public masturbation, assaults, racial slurs, and other forms of street harassment. Because we believe we have the power to create a world where we can feel hot, confident, and badass, while still feeling safe!
