Bayonetta has just made Platinum’s next game a must have in my book. It also looks fun as hell. You can expect to kick some ass with the hottest witch around later this year on PS3 and Xboxen.
It was created by a group of women and men in NYC who believe that street harassment is wrong, and that we all have a role to play in ending it - especially us guys.
The video shows non-violent some ways that men can interrupt street harassment as it happens. (And it happens all the time. Seriously. Go check. We will wait.)
Join us by sharing this video. And the next time you witness street harassment - and you will - say some shit. Please.

9 out of the 10 times I get harassed by men on the street, I am not in a safe enough position to say anything back (or I am just straight up too afraid, regardless of how physically safe I probably am). By being a woman and speaking back, it usually just amps up the harassment (because how dare a female do anything other than instantly spread her legs to her catcallers. They see us as walking vaginas for them to fuck.), so really silence is honestly my only safe option.
AND IT FUCKING SUCKS. IT INFURIATES ME. IT IS AWFUL TO BE SILENT.
If you’re a man, you have so much more clout with a male harasser because you’re not a fuck-object in their eyes. Speak up. It will make a difference.
Erika’s commentary is spot on same for me. This is why I think allies are important. So important.
After a long time lurking I've finally signed up. I mainly stalk video game and nail art blogs. Tumblr is crack. So nice to join you all.
