2. MsNikiSNA Thanks to @abelleinbk and @dreamhampton I’m developing a workshop on #streetharassment for middle schoolers.
3. alisonhallett It’s totally boned that women complaining about street harassment is ever construed as “bragging.”
4. freedom_writer Found a dope apartment yesterday. Too bad the street harassment I experienced int he neighborhood is going to keep me from applying.
5. somanybees Been avoiding street harassment by cycling all summer, almost forgot the joys of being a pedestrian #unwantedreminder
6. ZoeKateHazel @luluandyourmom Barf. Street harassment is the WORST. Ruins my day. Makes me hate everyone. Sorry 🙁
7. EvryBdyHatesZha The type of harassment that a woman faces just walking down the street is ridiculous
8. unfortunatalie (I’m going to try & tweet every instance, no matter how mild, to raise awareness #streetharassment)
9. Leischa @Cruella1 Good article. Men who don’t conform to macho norms also get a lot of street harassment and sometimes assault.
10. AlreetYorkshire DON’T BABY ME! I’m NOT yer baby and will never be. Say “NO” to street harassment! I’ll carry around a cricket bat next time grrrrrrr 🙁
11. kallandar13 Pro-tip: street harassment is uncool. Telling me I have pretty feet & asking to see them, AFTER confirming I have a boyfriend is scary.
12. sabahat24 Walk without a trace of hesitance & look everyone straight in the eye. Street harassment will lessen by half. #PakistaniSurvivalTipsForWomen
13. kstorres Men: Women don’t like when you catcall us from huge vehicles. It’s intimidating & rude. Also, don’t think we don’t know you’re compensating.
14. nickishamel Who doesn’t enjoy a good catcall by a pack of teenagers at 830 am? Oh, ME.
15. phenomemily Not only was that catcall annoying and degrading, but it was really loud and scared me. 🙁
