#YouOKSis?: Ending Street Harassment

The frustrating stories in this video (including the one involving a woman walking her baby in a stroller, which you can hear at the 2:15 mark) are familiar to many of us women. It has nothing to do with how we look or what we wear or where we live. Ten years ago, I didn't know what it was called. I just knew that I felt uncomfortable walking past men on the street and that no matter how many times I rolled my eyes, ignored it, or furiously responded, it wouldn't stop. Now, thanks to women like the ones featured in this video, I know that this sexist behavior has a name. And that my sisters have my back.

Venessa Marco - "Patriarchy" (WoWPS 2014)



When a man asked Venessa Marco if she could "deep throat," her response was *totally* clever. But what I like even more is that it inspired the performance in the video below.

And just to preemptively throw it out there ... the message in this video is *not* directed at all men. Hear it clarified, too, around 1:17.

Who Says Guys Can't Be Feminists?

These guys are in High School and being taught that feminism is more than just about equality for women, it involves intersectionality of race, gender, sex, and class. We need more of this in the schools.
