I have to steal that last sentence

On Sunday I asked my father when was the last time he catcalled a woman. He looked me dead in the eye and said never. I asked him why. He told me his father had told him to not do that to a woman. My father is just short of his 88th birthday. He has always been a beacon of integrity, honour and honesty and calling a spade a spade. He is not and was not perfect. He is one of the finest human beings I know. I love you dad. I thank you for being a father to this crazy daughter.

I have taught my son how to respect women. He is only 15 and I am so proud of how he steps up daily to tell other teens to knock it off when they are cat calling, touching, teasing the young girls.

Respect Bro

Change needs to start at home

I give them props. They're recognizing and trying. I say Good for Them.

And this is where the problem lies Mr. George Hall..men like you.

These are real men.

Please, do. I don't seem to be taken seriously, or even heard, by those who make such statements.

Not blaming the victim is so important.

Love this one

You can not live without women, so you have to respect them

This one is good

Applause. Seeing some real men here.

women have to do this all the time

This one is great.

"No more going along to get along"... So many men could do so much for this issue just by following that last sentence. Bless you ,sir

especially what's shrugged off as "locker room talk" when it's about assaulting women.

To all the dudes commenting with #HowIWillChange: Thank you. So, so much. Really. #HumansUnited #StopTheRapists #MeToo #MeandYou

Thank you!

Wow and she is still with you?

Just don't celebrate them

Thanks for doing your bit. U have no idea how many women are touched by this amazing response from men.

It's a start at least

I would hope that you will learn to be a better friend too in being supportive.

Thank you!

Hope most of these promises aren't just made to enable us use the hashtags only. We really need to mean them and keep them #howIwillchange

If you screwed up and you were actually listening to women and not just hearing them, then you have no right to get butthurt. If you continue to do so, may I suggest therapy to work through the reasons your feelings get crushed when someone tells you that you sexually assaulted someone.

Listen to what she says - reading through all of these I kept thinking you guys are missing out on the most important part. And this is it. No more: 'Well at least it wasn't a stranger'. No more: 'At least he didn't beat you'. No more: 'Oh well, you were drunk, so really it was your fault'. And to hell with: 'Yeah, well, if you dress like that...'

Wow. Thank you!

Since many harassers and abusers have gotten stealthy about it, a lot of us are stunned and slow to react, even the targets many times. I wonder if role playing would help us recognize and react more in the moment?

I would love to see you really do this in real life *grabs popcorn and lawn chair*.

This is getting ridicules, don't allow anyone to talk down to someone you do not need to bring gender into this.

How else would he signal those virtues? Apparently this guy believes jokes validate the behaviour of people who want to actually do the things that are joked about. If they were normal, validated behaviours, then they wouldn't be jokes. That's how jokes work. *palmface*

That one hurts, doesn't it? Someone you know DID that.

I'm actually fully on board with this one. Nothing wrong with passing down hard learned wisdom. This tweet should be #appliestoeverything

Never understood cat calling. What's the goal? I'm serious, I literally don't understand the purpose. Is it to hopefully make the person suddenly become attracted to you? Is it to give a compliment? Neither of these make any sense, but I can't think of any other motivation.

This one is not bad, actually.

Thank You!

"Tolerating something is accepting it". Uh.....that's a broad brush, sir. You best be calling out absolutely all behaviour you don't like lest ye be a hypocrite. You can't cherry pick after making a statement like that.

Maybe start with changing your twitter handle? KneelB4Chris, c'mon!

That is a great idea but please don't just put women in your organization leadership because they are just women. Please make sure they are qualified for the position. Affirmative Action is not the answer nor the solution.

These are good!

I like point 2. This is a very concrete, useful and necessary offer. I hope you follow through on it.

the phrase boys will be boys is outdated and not true.

TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER is extremely important, guys.

I adore these concrete answers. It does help to call out toxic behavior, it does more to actively empower those downtrodden. Kudo Benjamin!

That's where it starts.

Thank you! Finally! Most rape victims feel that not being believed (the very first reaction in just about everyone you tell) is like a second violation.

Not losing sight is not changing you fail at this exercise.

Should matter whether she is some man's relation. If she was a clone grown in a vat, she would be worthy of respect in her own right!
