not a contradiction. it just males you think. I get the point she is making. as our society has gotten more sexual its more and more of an issue for people. I am not one of those guys that does it because I don't see it as beneficial and have more respect in general for women. that's MHO

[Asker]

Do you agree with her that whistling at a woman counts as sexual harassment? Is it a crime to stare at a woman, like she said it is?

[malitia17]

that is a two way answer but first off I don't care for her overall view as a feminist. there is the stare of a creep and a stare of genuine interest that's not creepy. meh on whistling some find it flattering others don't. not my thing

Never heard of her before and I only skimmed through the article, but as someone who absolutely hates getting catcalled through and through, I think she's an insecure, attention-seeking girl who even has the gall to blame everyone else but herself for being a hypocrite.

She is a Feminazi. I hate her with a passion.

[Asker]

Why do you hate her? What did she say that makes you think she is a feminazi?
