These Tweets About Street Harassment Will Make You Rage-Laugh

#1

The 37-year-old, who declined to give her last name for privacy reasons, told BuzzFeed News that she felt that a lot of men on her Twitter timeline "were being woefully obtuse about street harassment."

She said these men would tweet her things like, "If we don't approach you guys on the street, how are we supposed to meet?" and suggest that women were misreading their intentions as disrespectful.

"It just really made me feel like we've had this conversation so many times, they should know to either leave people alone or not engage in the conversation," she said.

CJ added that after seeing younger women, particularly black women, being upset by those Twitter conversations, she decided to start the hashtag as a way to mitigate the tension.

"I was honestly trying to lighten things up a little bit," she said. "I thought the snark and sarcasm behind it would change the energy behind the timeline."
