Anti-flirt club
Anti-Flirt Club is a social movement that originated in the early 20th century, specifically in the year 1923, in Washington D.C., United States. The club was founded by a group of young women led by Alice Reighly, who aimed to protect women from unwanted attention and advances from men in public spaces, particularly on the streets and in vehicles.
History[edit | edit source]
The Anti-Flirt Club was established in response to the increasing number of cases of street harassment experienced by women in the 1920s. The club's founder, Alice Reighly, was a victim of such harassment, which motivated her to start the movement. The club gained significant attention and quickly grew in membership, attracting women from various walks of life who shared the same experiences and concerns.
Objectives[edit | edit source]
The primary objective of the Anti-Flirt Club was to discourage the act of flirting in public places, which they believed was a form of disrespect and harassment towards women. The club also aimed to raise awareness about the issue and to promote respect and decency in interactions between men and women.
Activities[edit | edit source]
Members of the Anti-Flirt Club engaged in various activities to achieve their objectives. They organized public meetings and demonstrations, distributed leaflets, and even published a list of "Ten Commandments" for men, which outlined appropriate behavior towards women in public spaces.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Anti-Flirt Club was a pioneering movement in the fight against street harassment and the promotion of women's rights. While the club was short-lived, its impact can still be felt today, as the issues it addressed continue to be relevant in contemporary society.
