Talking back to street harassers just went viral: Hollaback posted a video of a woman on a subway train who, when she realized the man that was crowding her on the subway was doing so because he’d pulled his condom-sheathed penis out and was rubbing it on her, started to berate the man and tell him that she was going to have him arrested. She got her wish, since the assailant was quickly arrested. (The article minimizes the reality of sexual assault by diagnosing the assailant as “sick” from afar. This kind of thing should be stopped, as it implies that women should pity and tolerate sexual assailants, instead of fight back against them.) Score one for the strategy of fighting back.
