2. @froovyjosie got harassed again today. summer sucks. can’t wear a skirt without idiots bothering you. #streetharassment

3. @vicky_simister @MiniMapuche I’ve heard “Boys will be boys”, but that implies men can’t control themselves, another implausible reason #streetharassment

4. @defense4women @hkearl Clothing is just another excuse men use to make unwanted comments or advances.

5. @HollaBackBmore #BestThingInLife: A day in a sundress without any #streetharassment! Let us live our summer lives in peace!

6. @selise3 @froovyjosie @hkearl Sadly, it doesn’t matter what you wear– I’m never in shorts or skirts, yet often harassed. 🙁

7. @selise3 I’m not a jerk, but if you want to start a friendly chat, opening with, “Oooh, yeah, BABY!” is not the way to go about it. #StreetHarassment

8. @londonfeminist Clue: if your flirting is mistaken for street harassment, you’re doing it wrong. HTH.

9. @SarahGraham7 I don’t think I know a single woman who didn’t experience it in Paris, and I don’t know many who haven’t at home. #streetharassment

10. @Emilie_V Just talked to a (male) friend abt #streetharassment stats- his immediate response ‘women ask for it by wearing short skirts’.

11. @EVAWhd Do YOU call out sexual harassment when you see it in the street or public transport? Speak out against #streetharassment

12. @beckypants The fact that I happen to be female is public does not make me public property. Grrrr #streetharassment

14. @BlackWomensBP #Streetharassment contributes to #rapeculture

15. @saltyfree Who wants to help me start a non-profit that provides headphones & sunglasses to girls to help avoid street harassment?
