Heather shared this tactic on her Twitter, and judging by the fact that her post gained more than 550,000 likes and 130,000 retweets in just a few weeks, the problem seems to be more recurrent than imagined.

the writer wanted reinforce who was inspired by his father. “He would tell me, ‘Don’t laugh. They will understand your nervous laughter as consent to what they are saying. Instead, pretend you don’t get the joke and ask them to explain it to you. At this point, pay attention to how they explain why you should be laughing.’ I’ve been doing it ever since.” In the post’s comments section, other women showed solidarity and admiration for Heather and also shared their similar stories and techniques for dealing with inappropriate comments.

One woman said that Heather did not act correctly and giving any response to such comments would not be the best solution. And in that, another user gave her a great answer.
