Shoshana Roberts, a NY City Actor, received rape threats in response to a video.
Roberts, was recording 10 hours of herself walking the city streets to show what it’s like from her perspective and the harassment and catcalls that woman often receive.
“The latest example: a viral video put out by the anti-street harassment organization Hollaback! in which Shoshana Roberts walks down a New York street in a T-shirt and jeans, stone-faced, as men walk alongside her, look her up and down and comment on her body, her lack of a smile and generally demand that she pay attention to them. It’s awful, uncomfortable, and entirely unsurprising – at least to 50% of the population.”
The purpose of the video isn’t for women, it’s to serve as a wakeup call to men, because woman already know, they live with this.
