According to research by ILR and Hollaback!, 85 percent of women in the United States have already experienced some form of street harassment before the age of 17. One of the most common forms of street harassment is catcalling, defined as unwelcome comments or sounds that are considered rude or derogatory. When it comes to handling these unwanted remarks, there are multiple routes to take, from clapping back with an insult to simply ignoring the caller. And now, one TikToker has offered her viewers a \u201cbrilliant\u201d comeback that has them swearing they\u2019ll use it the next time they run into any unwanted attention. TikToker and model Daphne Berry, who goes by \u2018berridaph\u2019 on the platform, posted a video recounting the incident. She said, \u201cThis man just catcalled me at the front of a construction site.\u201d Not letting the man get away with harassment, Daphne yelled back, \u201cSorry, I don\u2019t have any change.\u201d Her quick thinking was met with laughter by the man\u2019s coworkers, who then started \u201cpointing\u201d at the man and making him \u201cfeel so s***.\u201d Her viewers called her response \u201cgenius,\u201d one person writing, \u201cI\u2019m doing this next time.\u201d Someone even gave their own suggestion, saying, \u201cOne of my [favorite] ones is telling them to say something funny when they tell me to smile. They always look weirdly confused.\u201d However, others pointed out that they wouldn\u2019t feel safe clapping back at a catcaller; \u201cI\u2019d do this but I\u2019m not ready to die.\u201d Another person said, \u201cThe way you say the story sounds wholesome. But the catcalling and general unwanted attention from men is so not.\u201d Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikToker\u2019s \u201cbrilliant\u201d response to catcaller has internet calling her a \u201cgenius\u201d TikTok: berridaph \/ Unsplash: Josue Isai Ramos FigueroaA TikToker\u2019s quick thinking resulted in a \u201cbrilliant\u201d response to catcalling that many internet users are now claiming they will have to try themselves.
