was taught that at home its more space and classes and schools/buses is more clutter so after summer and fall break kids get most sick cause their immune systems where at a relaxed level
Yup. Plus all those other germy little toddlers putting their hands in their mouths, nose, etc. Yuck.

The video makes me mad because some of those men were just saying hi. I feel like there's some deep correlation with Emmet in this..
Some of them were just saying hi and I know that w/in diff communities there are different ways people communicate. I know that "not speaking" is a big deal w/in the Black community and is an indicator of 'rudeness,' however that typically is a regional approach (i.e. the South).
Would any of these men 'just say hi' to a man? Probably not.
First off, I love your blog. It's awesome. Second, I'm wondering if you think it was a *deliberate* act to mainly show harassment by black/brown men on the white actress. As in, do you think they cut out the clips of the white men who harassed the woman and mainly used the black/brown men in the video? Or I suppose she could have focused on walking through areas with more black/brown men in them. I'm just curious how deliberate you think the exclusion of white men was.
Thank you :)
I don't know if it was deliberate, but I have written previously about the movement of white feminists to address street harassment. The movement is fairly new [to them] and suspiciously coincides with them moving into neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Harlem, DC and other historically Black cities.
While they probably didn't edit out droves of white men harassing them on street corners you have to look at socialization patterns. Within urban Black/brown communities it is more common to see people hanging out on stoops, corners and other places where it is free to congregate.
In white communities harassment may look differently, it might be happening at country clubs, at frat parties and other public places. I think it's important to talk about street harassment, but depicting Black & brown men as the main aggressors of sexual harassment is highly inaccurate.
I would have loved to see this video done with masc. of center women, queer women, disabled women, Black women, etc. and see the various types of harassment women face. I know that the way I am harassed is different from how Becky is harassed.
I think that is my problem with white women trying to be at the forefront of convos about street harassment. Many Black & brown women have dealt with street harassment from very young ages. I didn't even know until fairly recently that it even had a name or what specifically about it made me uncomfortable.
When white women take up arms against street harassment they ignore the insidious and equally dehumanizing ways that white men objectify, disparage and harass women. They turn the issue of street harassment into a thing that specifically is done by Black & brown men. That's my issue with the video.

uhoh. work drama? do you have something else in the works? I admire your strength. I wish I could walk away from where I am at.
No, not necessarily drama. Just a long time coming due to unhappiness with various organizational oppression. Not necessarily brave cuz I could only walk away because I had accepted another position. I'm excited & very grateful for a new opportunity though.
