Tatyana Fazlalizadeh has traveled all over with "Stop Telling Women to Smile," in which she wheatpastes the streets with portraits of women captioned with anti-harassment messages. In a comprehensive new series spearheaded by Fusion's Anna Holmes (and the founder of this very website), Fazlalizadeh takes her work…

Street harassment awareness seems to be at an all-time high, yet there are men among us who haven't gotten the memo. This PSA targets some of them by answering the question: What if I was your mother??

Being harassed on the street by strange men is something most women are used to dealing with on a near constant basis. Trans women are no exception. It seems just as bad when we "pass," and can be even worse, and definitely different, when we "fail" to "pass." These are my experiences.

A woman pretended to be drunk on Hollywood Boulevard — aka one of the sketchiest places in the world — to see if the strangers she encountered would help her find a bus home or be disgusting. Naturally, most of those she met were the latter.

Last week, the anti-street harassment organization Hollaback released a video featuring a white woman marching through the streets of New York City for ten hours, and being catcalled by mostly black and Latino men. It frames the woman, an actress named Shoshana Roberts, as perpetually harassed and afraid. That video…

Yesterday CNN's Fredricka Whitfield held a discussion about Hollaback's catcalling video, which has sparked a huge conversation about street harassment. She invited comedian Amanda Seales, and self-described "Bad Boy" author Steven Santagati, author of The Manual, which apparently teaches women about the 'bad boy' in…

Rush Limbaugh spends many hours each day in a confined space, talking and talking and talking into a microphone, getting a mild buzz off the fumes of his own recycled cigar smoke and stale farts. So it's not surprising, we guess, that after all these years his schtick has become not just crude and dumb, but also…

Music beds: They're an art, not a science. On Thursday morning, CNN's New Day promoed their interview with Shoshanna Roberts, the woman in Hollaback's viral street harassment video, by using the part of "Gangnam Style" that includes the refrain "Ehhhhhhh sexy lady."

What's it like to be a white man walking silently through New York City for 10 hours? Pretty lucrative. Strangers want to network, they tell you you look "powerful" and even gift you free Chipotle burritos! This is what street harassment looks like through the eyes of Funny or Die and I want in, yo.

Well, it's fucking depressing to say it was bound to happen but considering the state of the world, it really was: the woman who starred in Hollaback's viral street harassment video has reportedly been getting rape threats in the comments of the video on YouTube.

When we talk about feminism and sexism, we tend to focus on larger institutional problems like the wage gap and rape legislation. We discuss sexual harassment in the workplace, but less lip service is given to the day to day bullshit women face that over time, can really wear on your spirit. It's the type of…

A human fedora hat in Chicago posted an open letter to Craigslist reminding the women of his city to smile and dress pretty so he can assault you with this unwanted advances. You know, helpful, necessary advice.

In her previous Daily Show segment on catcalls, correspondent Jessica Williams made it very clear that a woman's walk to work is not a red carpet. But clueless commentators continue to insist catcalling is just a buncha chill dudes dispensing free compliments, and so she is back for round two, bringing a camera on…

A city in Missouri could be close to taking a firm stand against catcalling.

19-year-old Robert Flynn of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania thought he was out for a run-of-the-mill sexual assault when he accosted a female jogger by groping her and pulling down her running shorts, but, as it goes, things don't always proceed as planned — especially when the woman you're attacking happens to be a Deputy…

The streets of Philadelphia are a little less gross today: The man known as the "Swiss Cheese Pervert" has pled guilty to indecent exposure and been sentenced to probation.
