Men Call Me Things or #mencallmethings was a Twitter campaign started by feminist blogger Sady Doyle encouraging women to tweet about things they had been called by harassers.
The campaign was intended to raise awareness/visibility of the extent and degree of harassment women experience online. Many men were surprised and horrified, however before long the twitter hash tag started to fill up with Concern trolls and similar. The campaign was covered in major media in Australia, eg. Troll Attach: #mencallmethings campaign goes viral in the Sydney Morning Herald.
