"Hollaback Girl" by Yaasmeen Piper, really sends a sharp message about street-callers, and that what they do is viewed by some people as a lot less harmful than it really is. She describes an experience of hers, where someone cat-called her on the street. It made her feel really uncomfortable, anxious, and unsafe, even in a familiar place. Yaaseem explains about how this type of incident happens to many people every single day, and it is not okay. She really proves her point efficiently, and it was eye-opening (in a very bad way) to read some of the statistics she supported her statement with. That incidents like these are not just "harmless fun," and should never, ever be considered that.
    Something like this has never happened to me, but I have friends who have been in the same position as plenty of other women and men around the world who have faced street harassment. They definetly didn't like it, and it put them in a really horrible place. This peice definetly teaches a message that people need to take action to help stop things like this from happening. Yaaseem explains, "A man in Philadelphia was brutally assaulted after trying to defend a group of women from catcallers. Does that sound like harmless fun?" The way she reiterates the idea that these incidents do not sound like "harmless fun" shows the lengths of how terrible street-harrasment is, and how many people are affected daily by dangerous people. Does that sound harmless?
