advocating for catcalling awareness. “I think compliments are compliments regardless of the context,” Dixie says. “However, the context can shatter that.” Sloan says she understands where girls are coming from and respects that. Some people respond to her catcall surprised that she’s a girl, and she says other people call her some form of rude. Sloan’s view is that she is always doing it to make the other person feel good; she’s not trying to go out with them, date them, be friends, even commit to seeing their reaction. She gets catcalled plenty, too — but it doesn’t bother her. In fact, it puts a little jump in her step, she says, even boosts her confidence. Sometimes Sloan gets a surprised smile and a little wave back, and other times she says she can tell by their laugh that she made their day, so she knows some people share her opinion. “I just feel like [all] the times I’ve been catcalled on this campus have been [by] young men, probably in a pickup truck, a little bit filled over the guild, so you have boys coming out of everywhere,” Unger says. “And I’m not sure what their status is, but maybe they’re all a little tipsy or going to a party, or maybe they’re all just feeling on edge — you know, they want to kind of do something bad.” Drinking, she’s noticed, and Alabama football game days, multiply the catcalls. Sloan personally distinguishes the biggest difference between street harassment and catcalling by the amount of persistence. “I feel like multiple instances of calling out to somebody could be considered harassment, where I feel like catcalling could just be considered one and done,” she says. The later at night that men yell or catcall, the less genuine they feel to her. It’s more the alcohol talking, she says. “But we know with our legal system, if we put a consequence on something, it doesn’t necessarily mean that people don’t do it that often,” Unger says. Street harassment can be reported to the police specifically in Alabama through crimes of disorderly conduct and harassment. This includes using abusive or obscene languages or gestures, which falls into the harassment category if it’s singularly directed at someone or a group. It’s punishable by a $500 fine or jail time for under three months, though the latter is rare. Usually, women just deal with it. “They may get to a place in their own maturity, oh you know, three, four, 10, 20, 100 years later where they go ‘Oh man, I probably shouldn’t have done that,’ but it’s not going to be because someone turned around and told them to go f—k themselves,” Dixie says. Anger, though completely understandable, isn’t always necessary, Dixie says. In some cases, after safety is secured, being capable of quickly dismissing catcallers while genuinely not caring what they say is important. That way, it won’t derail from whatever you were currently doing. “That’s more important to me, because at the end of the day, that person isn’t going to matter anymore, and you’re a powerful, intelligent, creative and very capable individual who needs to go on and show that dumbass that he’s so not what you’re looking,” Dixie says. That’s the ultimate power move. [68] Alice April 2016
LIFESTYLE 48 hours in Nashville Bourbon Street By Rachel Wilburn To Tuscaloosans, Tennessee is notorious for being home to Knoxville, affectionately referred to as the host of the “garbage truck worker convention” around #Tennessee- HateWeek. While many avid Crimson Tide fans swear they’ll never love anything about Tennessee, there’s one place that’s hard not to: Music City. Nashville, a short four hours from Title Town, is the perfect weekend getaway. No need to worry about the itinerary — we’ve got you covered. Alice April 2016 [69]
