I don't think anyone doubts street harassment being an issue, but the problem is calling a simple "good morning" or "have a nice day" street harassment. Maybe it is in NYC where everyones head is too up their ass to communicate like a human being.

What is street harassment? Street harassment is a form of sexual harassment that takes place in public spaces. It exists on a spectrum including “catcalling” or verbal harassment, stalking, groping, public masturbation, and assault. At its core is a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups (women and LGBTQ folks, for example) of their vulnerability to assault in public spaces. Further, it reinforces the ubiquitous sexual objectification of these groups in everyday life. Street harassment can be sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizeist and/or classist. It is an expression of the interlocking and overlapping oppressions we face and it functions as a means to silence our voices and “keep us in our place.” At Hollaback!, we believe that what specifically counts as street harassment is determined by those who experience it. If you’ve experienced street harassment, we’ve got your back! - See more at: http://www.ihollaback.org/#sthash.a9julzbp.dpuf

We have to figure something out otherwise the lane is wide open for these people to continue using our issues to further their own agendas.

If they don't even have any solutions themselves then how big of a problem is this really?

You mentioned that some of these women are pushing for laws, that's one solution.

You should make of video of you telling this to a woman who deals with street harassment on a daily basis when she can't afford to "stay her ass inside" because she's working and in school.

I'd love to see it.

I wouldn't even tell her that. I'd tell her to grow a spine and stand up for herself in the streets. Like I said, i got people I don't want talking to me multiple times a day. Anybody who lives in the city knows what I mean.

We gonna act like only effects women? We gonna act like everybody don't deal with this? Yall lying

Yeah I have a job and too. You in here posting just like me so what are you saying

I was on my way to work on the employee shuttle

Every singe day I got nikkas begging me to swipe them into the station, nikkas tryna play me a mixtape, nikkas begging for change. Approaching me to sign petitions for abortion rights, Giving ratchet ass concerts on my train, trying to sell me newports, food stamps, sour. Etc etc etc

This shyt is annoying AF to me, this doesn't count as harassment but a nikka saying "God bless you" or "hi beautiful " in the street does?

YALL really need to quit with the bullshyt

Keep thinking you get to define what harassment is to a woman based on how you feel.

We should make a concerted effort to flood their mentions. I'm single handedly getting at all the bytches that retweet them and letting them know that that this shyt is a ploy using their racist fears to extract money from their dumb ass.

Join me brehs.. Post that Tariq nasheed ether in their mentions. Bombard these hoes

I'm down breh. I tried doing it with the last street harassment thread, but it went from trying to expose the racist views of #YouOkSis and that holly kerl bytch to nikkas trying to shyt on black women online. Post and example of a tweet, I have no problem trolling these cacs

Yeah I have a job and too. You in here posting just like me so what are you saying

I think he's insinuating that you may in fact be a sodomite breh. Is their any truth to these allegations

The bigger problem is white people using us (both black men and women) to further criminalize us. We can say black women are on that bullshyt when it comes to street harassment (which may be 100% true) but the reality is these white supremacists are actively trying to pass laws for this shyt. We're here arguing over whether street harassment is real when these white folks are actively trying to get laws passed to lock us up on some Jim Crow shyt.

For that reason alone, we need to take this shyt a lot more seriously.

Breh, we gotta be able to not fall for the okey doke. Black women and women are arguing about whether street harassment is a real issue is irrelevant. White people are actively trying to make this shyt a law and we both know who's going to be criminalized when that shyt goes into effect.

What is your solution to women dealing with street harassment?

I don't know what street harassment is bruh. That's why I asked you since you're advocating against it. You tell me what it is and I'll give you my opinion on how women should deal with it. Why have you dodged all of my questions?

Go fukk yourself.
