Hollaback sites sounds like a great idea, but I got the feeling that waving a camera in their faces will only cause more violence from them.
In general, they're addressing catcalling. Usually those guys aren't so much with the physical violence. They just like the power that harassing women gives them.
I like the gunmetal, Glam! I don't know how you can wear the scrunchy-backed shoes, they drive me crazy, but more power to you. Not big on the last pair, save the money for more awesomeness!!
I have to soon buy a pair of silver strappy sandals for the wedding I'm going to be in. I want cheap ones, cause...I so don't need any (my perfectly lovely pewter strappy sandals are not acceptable). And I'm already paying $180 for the dang dress.
Okay, WTFF? (Wacky shoes.) [link]

There's probably only so much the authorites will ignore from them, don't you think? "She took my picture so I punched her" could well be crossing the line.
Even before your assault today I've heard talk about it happening and its nauseating. PICTURES of it happening could be even more effective.

I know the local Hollaback site has had a number of postings about guys who grab women or, in a few instances, hit them. It makes me sad - especially since some of the physically aggressive ones, even when reported to authorities, seem to get away with it.
I wish I could video tape it. Cause it's not always just, "Hey Baby." it's a whole string of "Heybabyyoursobeautiful.HeyheyIknowyouhearme.Whatyouwonttalktome? FUCK YOU BITCH!"

Yes, but I don't want to get the second punch. Not the first punch as well, as a matter of fact. Though I wonder if they'll cross the lines and lay their hands on a strange, impure woman who might be even, gasp, menstruating! (they just used a wire on me, which didn't require physical touch, which is forbidden).
Aw Shir!
Maybe whip out a camera and yell I'M MENSTRUATING as you take the picture?
