Bystander Intervention Programs and Gender Inclusivity Issues

This chapter delves into the surge of protests post-Trump's election, controversies over gender inclusivity surrounding the pussy hat symbol, and the rebranding of Hollaback as 'right to be'. The hosts examine challenges in preventing street harassment, critique bystander intervention training's focus on physical strength over gender identity, and discuss the importance of prioritizing well-being over bystanders' fears in intervention scenarios. The discussion also covers the complex dynamics of intervening in public situations, the use of bystander intervention cards in San Francisco, and the evolving norms in society around public safety and enforcement.
