Recently New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's is being attacked for expressing that she has been sexually harassed by her colleagues in Senate. In her book, Off The Sidelines she shares those experiences. Many news commentators, especially women have deemed those instances as not serious, harmless and just apart of the female experience. Earlier this week the Daily Show tackled the idea of the catcall. And might I add the most perfectly sassy and eloquent response to those female commentators by the Daily Show's news correspondent, Jessica Williams.
Last night sexism was the topic yet again. Williams last night talks about the male gaze, harassment and whether women are to blame for provoking harassment.
The segment includes a think tank of women who share their experiences of being harassed on the street. Williams bellow mapping the occurrences on a map to understand if there are any safe places in New York for women.
And William's finishes the segment by giving tips to avoid being harrassed. For example, get really big headphones, master the fake phone call or a favorite of the women who were apart of the discussion, "put on your bitch face."
