If a creepy dude is insistently demanding your phone number and you want to get rid of him with style, why not give him feminist phone intervention number (+l-669-221-6251). If you call or text that number, you’ll get a canned response taken from the work of writer/activist bell hooks, such as “If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency.” The hotline also seeks your donations to cover its operational expenses.
