One of the worst places to experience gender based harassment is waiting for public transit. You're stuck, unable to go anywhere else. Sexually harassing women in these spots is incredibly predatory.

Men don't appreciate being told what to do in public. It's also extremely doubtful men would respond positively to another man telling them to smile. This is one of the most annoying and frequently used forms of catcalling women have to deal with. #StopStreetHarassment #DmvCatcalls

Catcalling is not a compliment. Insulting someone for making it clear your harassment is unwanted just shows the targeted behavior was not done with good intentions. Catcalls are about power and control. They aren't for the benefit of the recipient.

Most of the time women are dressing for themselves or for other women. Men are not at the center of our wardrobe choices. Catcalling is a choice. Clothes aren't forcing you to do that. #StopStreetHarassment

Predators are everywhere and unfortunately they have no shame in outing themselves in public spaces. This behavior is not normal or acceptable. #StopStreetHarassment

Although some may not mind, it is still harassment and obnoxious behavior. Pay attention to the road, not girls minding their business. #StopStreetHarassment
