ORIGINAL: PeggyO It's definitely NOT an American thing. Here is a list of countries other than the US where I have experienced cat calling: United Kingdom France Germany The Netherlands Italy Spain Belgium Canada Mexico Japan Agreed. I would add to that various parts of the Caribbean. Lived it, lived it, lived it. One of the benefits of having a male escort. However I simply smile and wave goodbye or say thank you and continue walking. It lessens the harassment. quote:
ORIGINAL: shiftyw I had so many things happen to me in philly that make this look tame. Twice I had some guys whip it out and start masturbating. Once on the subway. He told me "thanks for the great morning" when I got off. Another time this guy would not let me leave this Chinese food place without "helping me walk home", even after I insisted I was fine, he followed me to my doorstep. Not to mention all the times someone will bring up my weight when cat calling me "I bet you're the grateful type!" "You look like TONS of fun." We had construction next to our dorm for the first year, they took interest in my one friend, three of those guys surrounded her and started telling her how sexy it would be if she wore more skirts and dresses. Then they asked her if she wanted to run a train on them. I think it's way out of hand, it's threatening, and unnecessary. And truly it has happened to every lady I know. There is a way to meet someone without being a creepy weirdo. All it takes in my opinion is some thought to figure out if you're being an asshole. Let the blood flow return to your head that does the real thinking and keep quiet. By the way shifty, I love your new avatar, you're simply gorgeous, forgive me for saying so suddenly. Also it's unfortunate you had an experience like that. I usually never have someone do something that horrible or I swear I would pepper spray them or threaten to call 911. You don't have to take that sort of treatment. And yes, it is very true about construction workers. However I have been cat called by different men since I was 11. When I was younger, like the girl in the video, I simply avoided the eye contact. It was extremely persistent.
