feature: femmes destroy street harassment with satirical #nowomanever hashtag on twitter

If you’re a femme or femme presenting person who has walked down the street, chances are you’ve had a masc person shout unsolicited greetings, commands, and sexual commentary at you while you’re making your way from A to B. There’s a good chance that some man has approached you and tried to negotiate with or convince you to engage with them or be available to them on a personal level. Which, you know, is a very strange position to put a complete stranger, and that’s really in the best case scenario. In light of that, women of the internet are using the #NoWomanEver hashtag to demolish street harassment and discourage dudes from considering it to be an acceptable way to communicate with femmes. See some of the hilarious highlights, below.
