Friday Feminist Fuck Yeah: Sh*t Men Say to Men Who Say Sh*t to Women on the Street

While the Shit ____ Say meme may be so yesterday, International Anti-Street Harassment Week is just coming to a close, and this video deserves a shout-out.

Thanks guys for having our backs. As one of creators of the video wrote in thoughtful post, it’s not always easy to “to hold ourselves and other men accountable for our violence and our silence.” But sometimes being a good feminist ally is as simple as joining us in our exasperation and saying, “Please stop.”
