15 Tweets from the Week:

1. @Besito86 You never know when a catcall can lead to a verbal assault that can in turn lead to physical and/or sexual attack.

2.@kaatattackk I bet there is a positive correlation between men that slow down and stare/catcall/honk from their cars, and men who don’t get laid

3. @OhKelleh I genuinely wonder if guys who catcall think girls will turn to them and ask them for their number or something like seriously you are gross

4. @XedRegulus Did you know that back in the days of Vaudville, “Hello, nurse!” was a popular catcall?

5. @decaytourist “When you include the type of street harassment that queer people face in the street, it’s a much bigger group than just women.”

6. @jmsummers Thank you DC for reminding me why I carry pepper spray. Street harassment = not classy.

7. @devilherdue Instead of tweeting the particularly gross street harassment from this morning, I’ll just remind you that its a daily reality for women.

8. @wisemath Men: teach your sons, fellow male friends, cousins, nephews & brothers that STREET HARASSMENT IS NOT COOL. It’s bullying & scary. Just stop

9. @jeffperera Why We Walk: at age of 12, 1 of 4 girls have experienced street harassment, by 19 it is 90% #WalkAMileInHerShoes http://www.walkamiletoronto.ca @WamTO

10. @suzyfromaptos Ugh. Some creep just made kissy noises at me from his car. Not ok. Just not ok. #streetharassment
