Cat Calling - How Do Women Feel About It?

[GymLadTim]

By cat calling I mean when people (usually always men) shout sexually suggestive or aggressive comments at women in public.

Has this ever happened to you and if so how did you feel.

A couple of days ago I witnessed an incident. A young lady only in her early twenties was standing outside a pub smoking - she was wearing a uniform and was a member of bar staff in the pub I think. There was a window cleaner (late 40's)probably old enough to be her Dad up a ladder cleaning the windows of the pub next door.

The window cleaner shouted a sexual comment to the young lady. I won't repeat it because of Answerbank rules but it was along the lines of how he liked her legs and wanted to use them as a scarf.

The young lady looked very uncomfortable. I was very shocked I thought this king of sexist nonsense ended in the 90's. I asked her if she was okay - actually I was ready to give him a right mouthful. She just laughed and said ignore him he is an idiot.

It just got me thinking - do some women actual enjoy cat calling because it makes them feel desirable. Lets face it we all want to feel sexy but what about when it goes too far?

Has it ever happened to you? What did you do?
