#NotJustHello - Street harassment stories told on Twitter [View all]

Right now on twitter, there's a growing list of tweets where women tell about their experiences with street harassment. The hashtag, #NotJustHello, was started by Mikki Kendall (@Karnythia) as

"Karnythia and ReinaDeLaIsla were engaged in a conversation with multiple Twitter users about a subject that is increasingly familiar to Internet denizens: street harassment and how to combat it. Apparently prompted by a recurrence of conversation around writer Tariq Nasheed, who advocates a "player" lifestyle, Karnythia tweeted the following Friday night:
@Karnythia: Also can we stop pretending street harassment is about dating? It's never that. Never. If it was you wouldn't be screaming profanity"
