I'm a GUY, and I HATE Catcalling Women! (Page 2)

[BeerFarts]

I'm with you, man. I don't know what guys hope to accomplish by catcalling women. It's degrading and disrespectful to the woman. A guy who does that instantly lowers his value to women so he's SOL by hoping to impress her.

[savalisk]

Some women I know really like it, as long as it's not over the top and extremely vulgar. I only see a minority of women really complain about it and they tend to be the ones NOT being catcalled. Thats just where I live in this big ol' world.

I have to admit, catcalling varies from country to country. When I visited Italy, catcalling was sooooo much smoother and classy compared to Australia or the USA.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, maybe. In my country it's quite hateful and you know they even snap pictures of girls and share among friends. Sometimes they're also posted in the social media.

[AriesMan]

You are very mature for your age! I am proud of you, keep representing!

[myTake Owner]

Thank you sir

I don't see anything wrong with perhaps whistling and beeping, but I hate it when men call out sexual thing eh. Nice tits, sit on my face. It's disgusting and you're right when you mention your monther or sister. That's somebody's daughter, too.

[deraz24]

Its good to see a guy who was raised right people should think if it were their mother, sister, or daughter getting yelled at like that and how much they would like it you know.

[anewgirl]

I'm going to be honest here. As long as it wasn't graphic or vulgar, I would be flattered. I've never actually witnessed this though.

[Margillard]

In the UK, it is against the law as this is a sexist act.

I agree cat calling is stupid, but what is the alternative? Because if I was at a mall for example and I saw a girl I thought was cute, even me going up to her, saying hello, introducing myself and trying to get to know her now days it's seen as harrasement, it's like we aren't even allowed to say hi to a girl anymore either

[myTake Owner]

You can say hi, hello, you're beautiful or have a nice day there's nothing wrong in such comments. I'm criticizing the bad stuff

[John_Doesnt]

You're required to cat call women by the construction workers union.

[Mishthefish]

Guys that catcall make me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Im glad that you don't give into the peer pressure of joining in. Nice Take.

[QueenofCups]

It is really great to hear from a guy who still has a sense of chivalry.

[ATuairiscean]

Very good take - I never understood the need to catcall myself - You are right it disrespects women but also makes the guys look like prepubescent schoolboys who just discovered sex.

[TadCurious]

Great myTake. I completely agree with you. The guys who do that kind of thing are lame and weak and just rude af.

We used to do it all the time. The girls did it to us as well. No hurt feelings. Fuck that admiring from a distance shite. Might as well paint lips on your thumb and forefinger and give it a girls name coz you ain't getting the real thing. You only get away with it when your in high school anyway, after that you better learn to be a bit less crass.

[meatballs21]

Please write a Take about how you've never violently assaulted someone and how we should laud you for that, too.

[myTake Owner]

thank you for another dumb comment

The "conversation" you had with your friend sounds fake.

[myTake Owner]

Sounds fake? Wow, how do you say so? We had the conversation in our language and not in English. So when I translate it into English it may sound fake

[Opinion Owner]

It just doesn't sound like a conversation anyone outside of an after-school special about sexual harassment would say.

[AEther]

well, i've seen it happen before, and if I was hanging out with the caller at the time I would probably say something along those lines. so it doesn't sound implausible to me.

[Bananaman177]

I've never catcalled anybody and I've never seen or heard of it happening in real life, but apparently it is just a huge problem.

I swear, never personally witnessed it before. Never seen some random dude scream "nice tits" at any random girl.

[Cuin79]

Fair play to you!
It's not something real men do, it's for boys and pervs.

[myTake Owner]

not all boys

[Cuin79]

'Boys' is a level of immaturity, nothing to do with age.

[Svennedude2]

I've never catcalled in my life, and I don't understand why some men do it. They are the vocal minority, but a really annoying one at that.
