The Blog Shakesville posted this 1972 comic strip yesterday, writing,
“…what strikes me more than anything is this: how little has changed in the United States, despite 40 years of feminist protest against street harassment. It’s still ubiquitous. It’s still a barrier to full participation in public life. There are still no good options. And it’s still one of those things we’re just supposed to put up with, like wind or rain.”
While street harassment itself is the same, what has changed is how all of us are able to connect and support each other and speak out globally, thanks to the Internet! I believe that in 40 more years, this issue will be gone, or nearly gone.
