This day in history

You can be minimized by a
man who is not even wearing
pants. You can realize you just
detailed your political agenda
for someone who only saw “a
cute girl that showed up,” as
Vincent put it.
Door-to-door campaigning
for votes is never a glamorous
job. Vincent, who describes it
as “sweaty,” has worn out four
pairs of shoes visiting 150 vot-
ers a day. But it’s what cam-
paigns require, what voters ex-
pect, and she understands that
she’s the one making the intru-
sion; she tries not to take awk-
ward interactions personally.
Rarely discussed, though, is
the disrespect, condescension,
and even real risk women can
confront when alone on the
threshold to strangers’ homes.
“That was my second un-
derwear conversation of that
day,” Vincent said. “It literally
happens all the time.”
This week, Vincent, 30, took
the unusual step of airing her
frustration, tweeting about the
encounter and her difficulty
mustering “the courage to go
knockanotherdoor.Usually,I
force myself to get right back
on the horse and keep going.
But today, for some reason, I
literally just can’t.”
Her unusual candor
brought online encouragement
from the public, and even some
of her rivals in the District 8
Council race. Fellow candidate
Kenzie Bok responded on Twit-
ter with the hashtag message
#solidarity. Competitor Jenni-
fer Nassour texted Vincent di-
rectly with encouragement,
praising her hard work and
smarts and urging her to keep
going.
Nassour has been there.
When she was chair of the
Massachusetts Republican Par-
ty, some of her own members
nicknamed her “Party Chair
Barbie.”
“I got it from all sides –
from women and from men —
the sexism,” Nassour said in an
interview. Women like Nassour

uWHATSHESAID
Continued from Page B

— who’s particularly fit and

notes on her campaign website

that she works out five times a

week — often field “compli-

ments” from people who make

clear they can’t stop looking at

her body.

“I’ve had people say, ‘Ooh, I

love your legs, I wish I had legs

like that,’ ” she said. “Both

women and men. You’re just

like, ‘Are you for real?’ ”

Nassour, who previously

worked for ReflectUS, a coali-

tion of political groups work-

ing to increase women’s elec-

tive representation, wants fe-

male candidates “to feel like

there are other women who

have their back, especially

those of us who have been

through it before,” she said. “I

don’t think it’s supposed to be

a bloodsport.”

Nassour, Vincent, and Bok

are competing in a crowded

field, along with Montez David

Haywood, Landon Lemoine,

and Kristen Mobilia, for the

District Eight council seat of

outgoing Councilor Josh Za-

kim. The top two vote-getters

in the Sept. 24 preliminary

election will appear on the gen-

eral election ballot Nov. 5.

Vincent’s message echoed

beyond Boston, as other wom-

en offered their stories on Twit-

ter. Cambridge City Councilor

Alanna Mallon tweeted about

her own decision not to can-

vass after dark — after being

lunged at by a “drunk and

physically aggressive” voter —

despite knowing it might put

her at a disadvantage to com-

petitors seeking face time with

voters.

“[Y]our story is all of us: all

of us female candidates who

risk our personal safety in or-

der to serve,” Mallon tweeted.

She called it “critical for other

women to know we are not

alone” and urged her to keep

fighting.

Though Vincent sounded

some defeatist notes in her ini-

tial tweets, she never consid-

ered giving up, she said. A

longtime activist for social and

environmental justice and the

LGBTQ+ community, she has

worked as a mediator and ne-

gotiator, as well as director of

academic partnerships at EF

Education First. She worked

her way back from a 2016 ATV

accident that had left her fight-

ing for her life. She kept fight-

ing for this campaign because

if women like her didn’t, she

tweeted, “nothing will change.

People won’t take women or

young people seriously and it’ll

be the same old story.”

So she was out canvassing

again Friday, reminding herself

some candidates face worse

than objectification.

When her friend, Tanya

Neslusan, campaigned for

state representative in Stur-

bridge last year, one man de-

manded to know, “Whatare

you?”

Shedidn’tunderstandat

first, thinking he meant Demo-

crat or Republican.

“He goes, ‘No, that’s not

what I mean,’ ” Neslusan re-

called. “ ‘But I can tell you right

now, you’re not one of mine.’

He put his hand on his hip, had

a gun holstered behind him,

said, ‘I’m going to give you five

seconds to get off my proper-

ty.’ ”

“Realistically, I don’t think

he was going to shoot me,” said

Neslusan, who is part Indian,

and who describes her look as

“ambiguously brown.” “I think

he just wanted to scare me,

which he did.”

There was also the woman

who used the N-word and

made clear her family would

not be voting for Neslusan.

Like Vincent, Neslusan tells

herself that she is not alone.

“It’s like that for every can-

didate out there — every fe-

male candidate, every LGBT

candidate, every candidate of

color,” Neslusan said. “Any can-

didate who doesn’t look like

the voter, really.”

“But I will say this,” she add-

ed. “I still knock on doors.”

system should adopt more
stringent safety standards.
The review is scheduled for
completion in November,
though the contracts could be
continued for up to 12 months
as the agency works to imple-
ment the panel’s recommenda-
tions.
Joseph Aiello, chairman of
the MBTA Fiscal and Manage-
ment Control Board, said he
expects the panel to produce a
“frank and transparent assess-

ment.”

“I have no doubt this exer-

cise will help us create a cul-

ture of safety in which every

employee plays an integral

role,” he said in a released

statement.

The consultants’ review

comes at the end of a brutal

summer for the MBTA, which

has struggled to mitigate rider

frustration over service and

safety lapses.

The June 11 Red Line de-

railment near the JFK/UMass

Station in Dorchester damaged

train-signaling equipment and

caused systemwide delays. The

cause of the derailment re-

mains under investigation, al-

though the agency has ruled

out human error. Agency offi-

cials have said regular service

won’t be restored until Octo-

ber.

The derailment was fol-

lowed by a series of mechani-

cal failures, derailments, and

other service disruptions on

lines in the system, including a

fire on the Orange Line on Fri-

day that halted service be-

tween the Wellington and

Malden Center stations.

The T’s former longtime

safety chief, Ronald Nickle,

told federal officials he was

fired in March after flagging

several safety lapses. In a 97-

page complaint submitted to

the Federal Transit Adminis-

tration after his firing, Nickle

alleged the MBTA emphasized

on-time performance at the ex-

pense of safety and called for

increased transparency at the

agency.

The MBTA denied his

claims, and Governor Charlie

Baker said he stood by the fir-

ing.

Asked whether the panel

will investigate Nickle’s claims,

MBTA spokesman Joe Pesat-

uro said Monday the consul-

tants will work with state and

federal regulatory agencies to

examine all aspects of the

agency’s safety practices.

Mayor Martin J. Walsh, one

of the T’s most vocal critics,

took to Twitter following Fri-

day’s fire, calling on the agency

to speed up planned infra-

structure improvements.

“From fires to derailments,

what we don’t need is another

example of the @MBTA dis-

rupting the commutes of resi-

dents in Boston and beyond,”

he wrote.

Walsh could not immedi-

ately be reached for additional

comment.
