#YouOkSis

I just discovered the #youOKsis tag and I must say I am repulsed and disgusted. As men we need to DO BETTER, and seek help ‘cause.. I-

I was looking at the young lady, didn't have to even ask #YouOKSis b/c she clearly wasn't. It seemed like she had been putting up with his street harassment for a few blocks and had finally had enough

Ohh nahh this #youoksis hashtag wild. Fellas we gotta do better

Today's reminder that for every asshole in the world, there are many more decent people. #YouOKSis https://twitter.com/PiaGlenn/status/1025529146632495104 …

This is the America I want to live in—where we stand up and protect each other from harassment and discrimination. I don’t care if we’re the same race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, if I see somebody harassing or hurting you, I will step up and step in. #YouOkSis

#youoksis i don’t know if this is related to this topic but maybe one of the main reasons i’m lesbian is because growing up with a father and brothers taught me physical abuse way too young. Now i can’t even look a man in the eye without having some level of fear.

Step 4. The hashtag is created to give the impression that these white female run orgs actually care about issues with Black women. So every year we get #StreetHarassment , #youOkSis , #ToxicMasculinity #MuteBillCosby, #SurivingRKelly , etc. These are almost interchangeable

Feminista Jones started #youOKsis a while ago. Check it out for tons of stories. Women have BEEN saying #MeToo Glad someone is finally listening.

Black women (@FeministaJones ) creates a hashtag #YouOKSis. White actresses keep quiet while their "friends" get harassed by the same guy.

I was walking home and had a guy follow me for 2 blocks in his Range Rover. He LITERALLY drove ONTO the sidewalk 3 TIMES to block me & get my attention. But I kept ignoring him hoping he would stop. I detoured into a store because I don’t want him knowing where I live. #youoksis

Just had to intervene between a girl and a random bloke trying to steal her cigarette, he was shouting in her face calling her a slag, she looked like she was about to cry. Loads of other people stood around pretending not to notice #youoksis

Also: "Let's not act as if #MeToo is something new (how soon we've forgotten #WhyIStayed, #NotOkay, #YesAllWomen, #YouOkSis)." - @renherold

1. ADOS is NOT a movement, it’s an identity, an affinity group, much like VFW or POW. 2. You appear to be experiencing some sort of mania/psychosis and I’m concerned #YouOkSis 3. I’d recommend a @sandydarity course, but first you’d need to get into @duke 4. Stop grifting

When I am too afraid to speak to the aggressor, I ask women #YouOKSis which I learnt from following @FeministaJones. It pauses the situation. The last time I asked, the women used the pause to walk away & the man did not follow her because he was now aware of being watched.

I’d like to add, that there are a ton of resources and stories and examples under #YouOkSis, created by the amazing @FeministaJones, which is about pro-actively addressing street harassment experienced by black women. It’s good to be mindful of the intersections!
