Confronting harassers (in comic form!)

In male perspective, Resources | on 07.27.10 | by HKearl | Comments ( 9 )

I recently discovered the Men’s Anti-Violence Council blog (they’re a group at the University of Iowa) and I signed up to receive their posts via e-mail.  I loved the ones from yesterday and today so I’m sharing them.

As part of their quest to make their community safer for everyone, they created two street harassment-related comics for residence hall bulletin boards this fall. Awesome! Here they are:

Maybe one of them’ll decide to break from her stuck-up act for me?

thanks for posting our comics! i love your website and your attempts at raising awareness and addressing street harassment. That was my first attempt at putting together a comic. Since then, we’ve created about a dozen more addressing all different kinds of situations from offensive language to victim blaming. I’m going to try to post one a week. If you have any feedback or suggestions for new scenarios, stop by the website and leave some comments! Thanks and keep up the good work!!

XKCD makes the most wonderful comics. And this one is spot on, as always. Well done.

Oops, now reading that these aren’t XKCD.. But the hat is just so similar!
My mistake. The comic is good regardless.
