Every Street Should Be a Safe Space
Whether it's getting catcalled or being told to smile, almost every woman deals with street harassment. But it took until this summer to stage the first-ever international conference on street harassment, which took place over the weekend of July 25th at New York University. Grassroots anti-street-harassment group Hollaback organized the event, welcoming community organizers, nonprofit members, and just plain angry folks to share histories and to air out grievances about everyday sexual harassment. It's clear that at the end of the event that street harassment is all about ownership of space. To deal with street harassment, many of the speakers discussed creative ways to redefine public spaces to work for them, from speaking up calmly to taking up breakdancing. That example comes from Rokafella, a Puerto Rican b-girl goddess, who said she started breakdancing to discourage dudes from bothering her while out. Want the best of Bitch in your inbox?
Measuring the Evolution of Contemporary Western Popular Music : Scientific Reports
To identify structural patterns of musical discourse we first need to build a ‘vocabulary’ of musical elements (Fig. 1). To do so, we encode the dataset descriptions by a discretization of their values, yielding what we call music codewords20 (see Supplementary Information, SI). In the case of pitch, the descriptions of each song are additionally transposed to an equivalent main tonality, such that all of them are automatically considered within the same tonal context or key. The dataset contains the beat-based music descriptions of the audio rendition of a musical piece or score (G, Em, and D7 on the top of the staff denote chords). Full size image (297 KB) We first count the frequency of usage of pitch codewords (i.e. the number of times each codeword type appears in a sample). (a) Examples of the rank-frequency distribution (relative frequencies z′ such that ). Full size image (374 KB) Codeword frequency distributions provide a generic picture of vocabulary usage.

Rehtaeh Parsons, Amanda Todd et la culture du viol
Hier, deux hommes de 18 ans ont été arrêtés dans la région d’Halifax, en lien avec les événements entourant le suicide de la jeune Rehtaeh Parsons, survenu en avril dernier. Pour ceux qui auraient loupé l’affaire Rehtaeh Parsons, un bref rappel. En novembre 2011, la jeune Rehtaeh, alors âgée de 15 ans, aurait été agressée sexuellement par quatre garçons, lors d’une soirée « entre amis ». Des photos de l’agression ont ensuite été publiées sur Internet. Dans les mois qui ont suivi la publication des photos, la jeune fille a subi intimidation et harcèlement, jusqu’à ce qu’elle n’en puisse plus et se pende. Elle aura été, à proprement dit, humiliée et bullyée à mort. Or, les deux hommes interpellés hier n’ont pas été inculpés pour agression sexuelle. La mort de Parsons a suscité une véritable onde de choc, partout au Canada. Dans le cas d’Amanda Todd, il n’était pas question d’agression sexuelle, mais bien de harcèlement pur et dur, à caractère sexuel. Mission accomplie.

I was raped at 55. Here is how I responded.
Photo by Terry Vine/Stone/Getty Images Angie Epifano , the woman who was raped last fall at an Amherst fraternity party, reported that she could hear her friends having fun in the next room as she endured the ordeal. I mentioned this to a friend of mine recently, and she wondered why Angie hadn’t banged on the wall or yelled for help. I didn’t scream or fight, either, when I was raped in my own bed at the age of 55. Even if the man who raped me had not held a knife and I’d heard nothing of his other attacks, I’m 99.9 percent sure I wouldn’t have fought. “You talk too much,” he barked at me, then imitated a whining baby, “Na, na, na, na.” This taunting did not make me angry. We are all different; still, every woman I know, from the moment she’s learned such a thing can happen, dreads being raped. Before the trial, the judge mandated that I talk to a court-appointed psychologist to assess whether I’d been damaged by the attack. As a society, we subliminally hold ancient prejudices.
