'If I were a man, would you do that?'

iPM

Available for over a year

A listener and her daughter talk to Jennifer Tracey about the unwelcome comments they receive from men on the street, and what happened when they confronted them. Laurie Corke lives in London. She says she's been receiving comments in the street since she was 11. She's in her forties now and it's still going on. And now she's watching it happen to her 17 year-old daughter. She says "it's the drip drip effect of this casual harassment that causes women, including myself, to be very wary of men."
