 Tags: bodies, gender, inequality, prejudice/discrimination, sex/sexuality, street harassment; violence against women (VAW), 00 to 05 mins
Year: 2009 Length: 4:01 Access: YouTube Summary: As stated by the producers of this video (Third World Newsreel), "this is an experimental piece about women ritually facing street harassment as they walk home. Shot in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, it mixes 16mm film, video, poetry and music in an effort to honor and reclaim our voice, name and humanity in the public sphere. This is for the walkers, talkers and those who say nothing." Through the poetry and narrative, several women discuss the experience of street harassment and being objectified, and the frequent insults that women face when not responding to men's sexual comments in public spaces, but also acknowledges and honors the victims of this harassment for reclaiming their voice. This powerful depiction of women experiencing street harassment can be an excellent way to discuss issues of gender and sexuality, and gender inequality in everyday life. Students can be encouraged to reflect upon the range of possible emotions the narrator goes through and how repeated experiences like this can shape everyday behavior. How often do students experience this on college campuses or elsewhere? Could we imagine a situation where the roles are reversed, and what does this tell us about gender relations in society? What is the meaning behind street harassment? Is it really about sex or perhaps about power and control? Submitted By: Anonymous

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
