I'm not saying it's a move to make her uncomfortable. The man hopes she's comfortable with it. It's a move to say, "She could be mine if I really wanted."

That's why if the woman doesn't "submit" and smile or in some way say thank you she's a bitch, because her not playing along says, "You weren't really taking me out of my way, but I just want you to know that you would never be able to get someone like me."

The madness is spreading. Before long, it will be illegal to be out in public while in possession of a concealed penis.

Belgium to ban sexist comments

If Jesse Joyce tours Belgium, he'd better not refer to any of the Belgian bitches as "pumpkin" or he'll end up in some filthy Eurotrash jail.

I agree partly... the "she's just a bitch" way of thinking is just a dudes way of dealing with rejection. I find it interesting that there is some correlation between the dudes yelling out and the dudes that think "bitch" when they are rejected.

I think that there is just as many women okay or indifferent (not necessarily enjoy or hate) to cat calling. Which is a little different than your poll. I think it also has to do with the woman's state of mind and past negative interactions with men. Namely rape or molestation.

If someone hit on you or yelled you look hot, you wouldn't feel indifferent. You'd either like it, not like it, or both.

When Mrs Malley telephones Keith, does that count as Cat calling?

Piers Morgan

I've lived in the UK for over 30 years now, having come over here from the US, when I was first stationed here while in the USAF, and later after I left the USAF and eventually came back.

Since Piers Morgan left the UK, I have not heard one individual say they wanted him to come back. Every single person who has spoken about him, has said that they hoped he would stay in the US, and never came back.

I like being cat called from a distance but just enough to boost my ego so I know I'm still working it. If I'm in a good mood or its a clever line, I will even say/yell thank you.

Now when a nukka gets up in my space and/or attempts the same cat call to the point I feel uncomfortable or unsafe, then I got a problem with it. But I also have no problem telling they fuckers off just as publicly (but from a distance. I'm not that crazy.)

I appreciate the sentiment of the cat call itself, but depending on the content and/or delivery along with my mood that day, I'd say its about a 50/50 shot.

Yet another thing I miss about NYC. These dudes in the South are so corny to me I think they think cat calling is a new style of nonsensical rap that must be shared with the masses.

I don't understand that mentality, and I don't think it can be reduced to "he doesn't know any better." How could you not know better? Men feel so entitled that it makes my skin crawl.

You're not really complimenting me when you call me sweetheart. YOU DON'T KNOW ME. You don't know if I'm sweet. You're making a comment about my appearance, my face, my body. There's nothing I can do to keep dudes from expressing their opinions about me.

I can't tell you how many times I've been hollered at while wearing a gigantic t-shirt and sweat pants, but the other day I was wearing something tight and got the clever, if totally offensive, "Girl, you're as flat as Michigan!" What makes you think it's okay to shout every thought you have to a perfect stranger? NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION. NO ONE ASKED YOU TO BE BORN.

Cat calling that I have recieved has always made my day. Initially I am embarrassed and shy, scurry off...but then I feel pretty good about myself.

There is definitely more than one motive for catcalling, so it's pretty facile to pretend that it's all about "guys finding you attractive." The guys who meow out of their open car windows as they drive by aren't saying, "I find you attractive and would like to date you." They are screaming "Pussy!" It's about boosting themselves in front of their friends and putting women in their place at the same time.

And fuck this idea that being hassled in the street doesn't take me out of my way. I'm a stranger. I don't owe you a fucking second of my time, nor do you owe me. And yet somehow you feel ENTITLED to make me listen to you rate my fuckability. Fuck that, and fuck catcallers.
