A key reason why street harassment IS harassment is that we haven’t given our consent to be commented on, yelled at, followed, touched etc. This concept is difficult for some to comprehend and so Playboy (of all outlets!) is helping to educate the (mostly male) masses about consent on the streets with this flowchart.
I am not a fan of Playboy and the way they sexually objectify women, contributing to a society where women are valued more for their looks than for their intellect and (non-sexual) talents, but presumably all of the women featured in their magazine gave consent to be there, so hopefully they do understand the concept of consent.
And I am glad to see an outlet that I NEVER would have expected to talk about street harassment in this way do so. Maybe some of their mainly male readership will absorb the information on the chart and think before the harass…
