Feminist (for a lack of a better word) Wheatpastes Popping Up All Over Philly
(Second photo via Kari Paul’s Tumblr via a tweet from Tom Foodle)
LOVE these wheatepastes calling attention to the ordeals many women in our city have to go through just to get to work/school/where ever, and that, contrary to what some may think: “Women Are Not Seeking Your Validation” and their names’ are not “Baby, Shorty, Sexy, Sweetie, Honey, Pretty, Bo, Sweetheart, or Ma.”
This reminds me a lot of the Project Gastric pastes that were going up all last year, which I loved and thought helped to encourage an important conversation as well.
And just to clarify, I referred to this as “feminist (for a lack of a better word,)” because this just really seems like common sense.
Has anyone else seen these around?! I’d love to know if there were more!!

Yes, they are Feminist (in the interest of equal rights for women.) Feminist is not a dirty word :)

Yes! Sharing this with everyone.
There isn’t a better word for it, nor should there have to be. It’s feminist and it’s an important statement.
There is another one of these up at 46th and Spruce, on the side of a boarded-up building, although somebody ripped down the part with the text (they also ripped down the Harlequinade paste that was next to it). Luckily, I saw it before it was ripped down, and therefore was able to find it on the internet — at what it (I think?) is the main site for this particular art project: http://fazstreetart.tumblr.com/post/32012338427/stop-telling-women-to-smile-williamsburg Obviously the linked one is in Brooklyn, but the one at 46th and Spruce is the same. It says, ‘Stop telling women to smile’.
