reader Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 From NY Times A seat in a subway car in Mexico City’s metro system caused a stir earlier this year. There were awkward glances. Visible discomfort. Baffled looks. Some laughs. And of course, the inevitable pictures from passenger’s camera phones. It was meant to be provocative, and it was. A seat was changed to look like the lower half of a male’s body, including the penis, part of a campaign by UN Women and the Mexico City government to raise awareness about sexual harassment on subways. On the floor beneath the seat, there was a sign reading, “It is annoying to travel this way, but not compared to the sexual violence women suffer in their daily commutes.” Article continues with pics and video: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/31/world/americas/penis-seat-mexico-city-harassment.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
