"If you want to help, please do nothing. Leave the patriarchy in place."
Men: can't live with them, can't sink them all to the bottom of the ocean and put them in a maritime prison colony. Option B started looking a little more promising earlier this week, however, when a viral video revealed how many times a woman walking around Manhattan for ten hours might expect to be approached by strange dudes. (What was she wearing? Was she what one might deem an above-average level of attractive? Asking either question is not only beside the point, but raises a host of other questions that are gross and terrible.) The video, a promotion for anti-street harassment organization Hollaback! has been viewed more than 15 million times in 48 hours. Of course, any video that gets embedded in the cultural discourse so deeply and so quickly these days is bound to inspire parody. It's making such a parody funny, without trivializing the issue at hand, that's the tricky part.
