The New York City Dyke March is one of the best events ever conceived to combat dyke invisibility, at least for those few brief moments of proudly marching down the streets.

That Cathy Brennan video, devoid of meaningful political commentary.
00:00-00:30 : Lots of yelling. Idk wtf anyone is saying.
00:30-00:45 : The Great Pilgrimage to the bench.
00:45-1:00 : Sexual harassment? Apparently being sarcastic is sexual harassment.
1:00-1:30 : Valid spaces. Filmer makes snarky comment. I don’t know who she is, but her tone of boredom and disdain towards the whole argument makes me like her.
This is What Assault Looks Like
June 26, 2012
At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact.
An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law. There is, however, an additional Criminal Law category of assault consisting of an attempted but unsuccessful Battery.
The following people assaulted me.
