1. @harassmap It is time this is escalated, we’re losing our lives to harassers, silence has never been more disgraceful. #endSH #Egypt #Enough

2. @alicexz I usually respond to sexual harassment on the street by 1.) INTENTLY TEXTING A NON-EXISTENT PERSON, or 2.) “No English!”

3.  @Hollaback_DSM Being a male ally isn’t about what you DON’T do (harass) but what you DO do: confront other men. Together we will end #streetharassment

4. @PennyRed Ah, New York street harassment, how I haven’t missed you #hollaback #alwaysabittooscaredtohollaback

5. @mortari If you’ve never been catcalled or followed, then yes, you are missing information which is relevant to discussion of street harassment.

6. @TheCariLand Why do guys feel it’s ok to catcall out a car window or honk at females?

7. ‏@TheFemaleWiz There’s a fine line between charming and creepy.On that note,there’s a place reserved in hell for dudes that catcall on ladies!
