HOLLA-worthy Link Round-Up

  • Over at Days of Pink, a reflection on experiences with street harassment. “It’s hard to rejoice in your femininity when you’re under constant attack because of it. I used to think that my body was disgusting and that’s why I invited such nastiness.” 
  • Natalie Zina Walschots has something to say about how we should write about female musicians (hint: focus on their talent, don’t reduce them to their looks or to someone else’s “muse,” and don’t be a sexist pig!).
  • My body is not your property.
  • Muffin has had it up to HERE with your cat calls and comments on the street.
  • Hollaback! founder Emily May was interviewed for SPIN Magazine (!).
  • Jay Smooth absolutely nails it when he addresses men on the internet allowing sexism, misogyny, and harassment of females to continue.
  • Hollaback! Philly’s subway ad campaign was just funded! Super exciting. Congrats, ladies!

Did we miss anything?

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!
