I want to praise all of these men. I completely understand that sometimes it really isn't easy to step up. But whenever you do something like this, you make the world a little better for all of us. Thank you. <3

So I think this stuff is super important and yes, there are definitely times having a dude around has helped BUT...LADIES!!!! We must learn to stand up for ourselves!!!! Stop waiting for a "movement"!!

I used to have a co-worker that would tell clients to talk to the girl in the office. I asked him to stop referring to me as "the girl" or I would start calling him "the boy". He looked at me with puzzlement and asked: "what should I call you?" and was fully shocked when I said, "you could use my name". I doubt he meant offense, but his cluelessness about why he was wrong is so much worse. In another instance, a male co-worker covered the phones one day while I was out of the office. When I got back he said he preferred working inside on such a rainy day and my boss told him his legs were too hairy for office work. I responded with "You assume I shave my legs", and my co-worker says "He assumes I don't". I've never seen a grown man turn that shade of red before or since.

All the above examples are just as bad as a male trying to belittle another male by calling him a woman. That implies that being female is somehow inferior to being male. He insulted his mother, grandmother, sisters, aunts, female cousins, future wife, daughters, daughters-in-law, and his future grand daughters; along with every female on the planet. When God made Adam, He said it was good. When God made Eve, He said it was very good, and He meant that about BOTH of them.

Thankyou so much to all you wonderful people who step up and make a difference. I too as a female have often stepped up for someone who is being harrassed whether it be man/woman/child or animal. It makes a real difference! So..Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

It's really important that a movement like this start among men themselves, not only because harassing men often listen to other men while ignoring women protesting, but also because while reacting they teach not only themselves and men around them a proper way of conduct. Men have generally a way of ignoring what women say or think, so a man who dare stand side by side with a woman is in my eyes a truly strong man of integrity, and the men who harass and degrade women are weak and pathetic. They show how afraid they are of women, when they steal women's power away from them that way. I love true, strong men, who have integrity enough not to feel challenged by a strong woman, who realises that a woman's strength doesn't take away any of his own strength.

Working in a home improvement store during a job fair a guy won't leave me alone and finally asks why I'm not a model. Co worker comes over and says she's a hand model and flicks him off "like this, see?!" I never laughed so hard at watching this guy getting embarrassed

Ok, this was my sister in law, but its good: once, she and a friend sat on a bench in their town when a flasher flashed... well, everything at them. My sister in law said "wow, what a tiny one" to the guy. Not what he expected, and I have heard that the man walked away fairly red-faced from the encounter.

So many times. Mostly in crowded places, it happened a bounch of times to notice a girl being followed barely trying to leave the stupid back and started talking like I knew her, see him flushing away.

All these stories make it even weirder that the women I've seen on the receiving end of what rational people would consider harassment take it as a compliment. I mean, they're a part of the 10am drinking crowd, but still.
