"The only difference between some men & women when it comes to catcalling is women catcall, but they say it to themselves." It's not cat calling if I don't say it out loud. I do agree though that there are women who cat callmen.
You say you are introvert and stay in house, so how would you know how it is to be catcalled?
"these men aren't causing you any harm by catcalling." it's very obvious you have not been cat called like ever in your life. Cat calling is not approaching a person and telling her/him "You look very pretty". In most cases they are gross and creepy, very obtrusive and sometimes agressive. Making somebody feel scared is doing harm.
i've been with women who've been catcalled
right in my face & women over exaggerate this just like almost everything else
whenever someone "catcals" the girls i've walked around town with, the just laugh & say "thanks". then they go about their day like the planned
women over exaggerate things and this is one of those things.
And you can say that based on few girls you have known.
"women over exaggerate this just like almost everything else" well that says a lot about you.
@Owner seriously? You really should think about this and what you are saying... Because you're the one who isn't listening to women about this topic. If sooo many women feel afraod or harrassed while catcalled, it is a problem. Regardless of what you think of the topic, like that women should 'toughen up'. If more than have the world thinks it's harrasment, big shock, it actualy is.
@kg_18
You don’t pay attention
I said o had a sister in the take, I actually have two
I literally grew up with women, I know that women overreact.. I grew up with them.
& I’m Joyner listening to the women on here because they’re sending me books, I’m not reading all of that.. there are too many comments
Yours was sort of short that’s a why i replied
If I make obvious grammatical mistakes it’s this iphone
Wow, hate women much? I haven't seen this much ignorant vitriol aimed at women since the last time Donald Trump opened his mouth. (But then, you probably think he's a really great guy, don't you?) Dude, you need to seriously work on yourself. As you are right now, no self-respecting woman anywhere, ever, is going to share her life with you. You'll end up alone and cold and bitter and you'll still be blaming all your problems on women. Grow up, get a clue, and get some fucking therapy. You're a serial killer waiting to happen.
I only read the first two sentences
I dont hate women, I'm stating my opinion
Did I say "ihate women"
Or anywhere in my take do you see me calling women a name? Anywhere in the come an section do you see me calling women names?
No, but theyre sure calling me names
I dont hate women, but I dont kiss anybodys ass & I speaky mind, don't like it? Off is the person you wanna fuck
You know attractive men stand up for themselves too, right?
@Epictimmytam Sorry, I only read your first two sentences. Blah blah...
Dude, your own statements show your true colors. You hate women. I only wonder why.
I'm sorry, but If I was a girl living in a city and had a shit ton of men catcall me everyday while I am doing shit like going to work etc. I'd fucking go mental. Like damn your sanity can only take so much
Men also get catcalled it isn’t just women
You don’t see Men going on rants though
I do see men going on rants about how cat calling is acceptable. You are a prime example. How ironic huh?
Showe these rants.

There ya go
A gag rant..
lol. Alright buddy
So you admit it's a rant? Hey! Thanks for proving my point
Whatever you say buddy.
Well technically it's what you said, but alright "buddy"
You are whining about being insulted before you even finish your statement. Then the thing that tops it off. . . you are anonymous.
do you feel like a big boy
commenting without being anonymous
does somebody want to sit up front today?
i comment anonymously because it's an option, if you have a problem with it, take it up with the people who run the site, don't whine & cry at me because i'm using one of the site's features
Dude, I am not the one whining or crying. You see my name. You see my profile. I hide from no one. I own my opinions and my statements.
Try it sometime.
seeing your profile makes no difference, i still don't know who you are
technically we're all anonymous unless you upload pictures or something
i doubt anyone would want to see your pictures though
Yawn, you have posted at GaG before. You have a profile here. Yet, you can't even own up to this "take". It is like you are so sensitive to criticism, you are doing everything you can to avoid it.
And I find that extraordinary. The most sensitive among us are the most critical of others.
I’m avoiding criticism?
Did I say don’t criticize me?
If you look in my other comments I’m giving women an option to attempt to insult me after they’ve failed the first time
Yes, basically. I think you might have some issues. You could just own up to your comments with your profile here. Not many would be able to figure out your true identity. You make insulting comments, then before you close you do a preemptive strike. "Oh before you criticize me". Like somehow this revelation is supposed to shield you from criticism.
Then this conversation, you are totally defensive. It is just amazing to me what people think they should be able to get away with. If you say something like this, you should expect criticism. You should expect insults. Because you are insulting.
I am done with anonymous posters.
All of you.
OK so I'll tell you how I told everyone else
There are too many comments & I'm not reading anything over one paragraph so summarize.
Seriously though! I'm always telling women who cry about catcalling to suck it up. If you have a guy calling you "beautiful" or something along the lines of that, why are you crying! And these are the same women who get offended if males don't find them attractive. When it comes to more vulgar comments, of course you're allowed to feel offended, but keep walking. Ignore the bastard. You acting like a five year old isn't going to change anything. And don't get me started on the women who call it rape and report it to the cops. What are they going to do, charge them for name calling?
A lot of women get cat called, I've been there. You know what I do, I keep my ass walking.
Exactly.
"Toughen up" sorry dude but I can't agree. No one should HAVE to toughen up in those kinds of situations. Between choosing to be a dick and not being a dick, always choose the latter
There isn’t nothing you can do about other people stating their opinion, as “rude” as it might be, they have that right
So you’re only choice is to toughen up.
You're more violating personal space, in this situation. You can express your opinion if you know the girl.
That's not how the amendment works
Women can't control other peoples opinions, but they can control who they go out with , what area they're In & what they wear.
You ever wonder why police don't care about catcalling? because its not a big deal.
Call a policeman because you've been catcalled & you could possibly get in trouble for wasting the time of the law.
So women are doomed to deal with catcalling because you don't see it as a big deal?
It's guys like you that turn good women sour
Its good guys like me
that get tired of women's bullshit & speak my mind
You're the type to get heartbroken & cry on some girls door step
I'm the type to get cheated on & sleep with the cheaters mom, see the difference?
I'll never cry on some girl's door step.
If you sleep with the cheater's mom then you're a petty child who should've been raised differently lol
This whole article just screams to me a lack of empathy and understanding on your part. Of course, it didn't bother YOU, so why should it bother anyone else? Girls should be FLATTERED that a guy aggressively shouts sexual things at them. And after all, many girls are guilty of finding certain men attractive as they walk by, so really they're just mad that guys have the balls to say their gross things out LOUD.
Don't make a habit of telling other people how to feel about something that you don't understand.
I kind of agree with what you're saying but it really depends on the girl and the type of comment the guy makes. If it's a somewhat nice comment, it's not so bad and I personally can get over it. But for the men who check a girl out up and down with this look on their face (you know the look I'm talking about) and make a straight forward disgusting comment, it's hard to get over that. I personally feel very sexualized and gross if a guy just thinks his horn at me while I'm walking on the street. It's not flattering. It makes me somewhat self conscious tbh
And women are incapable of spouting lewd comments to men or worse demeaning insults as a shit test? C'mon.
Most of the catcalls I receive is borderline harassment and I ain't no punk. Why do you think I carry a weapon? A lot of these men are intimidating and aggressive. Now you may proceed with your foolishness.
P. S. I have catcalled as payback for them doing it and because I'm mocking the men who do it, it's not the same effect, they actually think it's funny, also this is not something the majority of females do.
because it is funny,
you all over exaggerate everything.
When I get catcalled, I feel objectified and annoyed 100% of the time because I'm aromantic and asexual. But I never feel scared because I'm not physically susceptible to getting hurt by them. When a woman gets catcalled by a man, it would trigger a sense of danger. She's probably doesn't find the man attractive or she might not be attracted to men in general. If unfamiliar men start making sexual comments to a woman on the street, she's going to feel scared and intimidated because she doesn't know what to expect and she might get hurt for ignoring them. Catcalling isn't complimenting, it's sexual harassment...
Can you stop labelling yourself? I don't give a damn that you are asexual. Stop being biased about your sexuality. You are not a special snowflake because of your sexuality you are just another human being.
And if men or children get catcalled on the street, it makes them feel weak too. Women aren't the only victims... anyone can be a victim.
@Epictimmytam Can I get an Amen?
I won't stop labeling and I don't give a damn that you don't care. Anyone can be a victim but it's not common for men to feel "weak" and vulnerable after getting catcalled.
I agree that a lot of people "Cat Call" (I:e: That they notice features on people and maybe comment on it to their friends or keep it to themselves) - I believe that is okay but I am not so sure about expressing loudly or shouting it to a random stranger.
I don't agree with they are trying to get the person's attention - It would not be described as flirtacious move that is swiftly followed by a genuine expression of interest with the possibility of a positive response.
Leaving aside the whole disrespectful argument it strikes me as being really immature and totally useless to a person's social development. You probably are right about one thing if every one ignored it and deprived the catcallers of the oxygen of attention, it may possibly fade into extinction.
One good thing it will save on the laundry bill, all those premature ejaculations in their jeans.
You’ve never been catcalled the way some men catcall us ladies so

A 30 year old man should not tell an woman (especially not underaged girls) that she “looks good” but she “would look better in my bed”. It’s happened to me along with various similar comments.
Just ignore some morons
I've never dressed the way women have
wow that's sad :(
wtf is that supposed to mean.. we should wear whatever we want and not be yelled at by perverts
@innocent_
You can control other peoples speech, but you can control what you wear
Part of being an adult is making hard choices
If you want to dress half naked, then go ahead but expect people to notice.
If you don't, then don't & you dont have to worry about people noticing you
was it really that hard? Christ.
Why should a girl control her dressing style? Why some a**holes can't change their mindset? People who think that way should be ashamed😠
Often victims are declared as a person with loose morals by some shallow minded people, that's not true
It's scares some people.
Ok, next time, I see you, I'll get a bunch of guys to catcall you and see how you like it.
can you not read?
i said i don't catcall, i'm not interested in women enough to catcall
the body isn't worth the attitude that follows.
the only reason i'd be offended is because i'm not gay
i'd just bring a bunch of my buddies who are homophobic.
" Women do it too "... errrrr no they do not... not female nature at all ! Here in the UK , it's , thankfully VERY rare , almost unheard of , as not in the culture here , as strangers rarely interact , unless they have to. It's NOT exactly a way to win over a woman , it's embarrassing for decent men , we get bashed enough as it is for just friggin' existing , this makes most women feel vulnerable & also gives ammo to the man hating feminists , perpetuating the " media " image of men as sex crazed morons !!
Well in fucked-up countries like the United States, the women there are wankers.
I agree with you! As long as people don't make vulgar comments, it's not a big deal. Relax and take it as a compliment 😂
This woman deserves an hour long hug.
😂😂😂
Cat calling is a form of verbal sexual harassment. If that is the case then a group of men should cat call you and see how you like it. If you dont like it, why should we?
oh of course women never do it, and it is not sexual harassment. Stop being melodramatic.
I'm not gay so obviously I wouldn't , but I'm not going to flip out
I'd just thank them and go about my day.
A group of men? I will have you know that many women and disturbingly children do it too. Be happy you got a single compliment about your looks. There are people out there who don't get a single compliment and some get insults.
As if women are incapable of similar if not more extreme behaviors.
I really don't get why women have such a problem with it (the number of times random drunk girls have groped my ass...).
Having said that, you can't fail to be aware that the vast majority of them do feel that way, so with that in mind, it's obviously very disrespectful (and not only that, but pointless - what do these guys think they're going to achieve?)
Why is it guys like this want us to toughen up and also want us to be more feminine?
Obviously this guy doesn't know how it feels to be treated like a piece of meat.
Toughen up, be independent
Are you saying someone can't be feminine & independent?
No, I am not saying that, but why should bottle up their emotions when someone is disrescting them?
Um, how many times do you judge us men by our height, dick-size and muscles? 80% of the time. And yet WE are told to toughen up.
You mean disrespecting them, princess. You seem very weak and sensitive, I have been catcalled by 50 year old women, I have to toughen up. Not everyone in the world is the same.
@Epictimmytam Well Princess I disagree. Yes we judge guys bodies and guys judge ours. That wasn't even the point. The point is if the girl doesn't know you and feel safe around you, so keeping your mouth shut is best. Unless it's to make an appropriate conversation for a stranger. Have you never heard of rape? The thought this person is already treating you like an object and you don't know them, so how much farther are they willing to objectify you? Are they going to try raping you or stalking you? It's hard to say about someone you never met. That is really the biggest part of the scenario and why cat calling should never happen. You want to make polite conversation, then that is fine.
I've been catcalled. Happens to men too. So your argument "you don't know what it's like!" falls flat.
@Wwwyzzerdd Where did I claim you don't know what it's like? I was saying the world is more dangerous for women so it gives us fear, especially when walking alone.
More dangerous? That's a matter of opinion. Can you back that up with statistics?
@Wwwyzzerdd well look up rape statistics. Also are you really afraid of a little old lady? Come on! Most men are taller then most women. You are obviously living in a fantasy world if you don't think men are more aggressive. Testosterone in itself causes people to be more agressive. Or are you suggesting women have more testosterone then men? Haha
Guys are treated like nothing but a piece of meat every second of every day of their lives and you're butthurt because you sometimes get the tiniest little taste of what that's like.
@Epictimmytam "you do it to us so we'rs going to do it to you" is NOT the way to solve shit.
And by the way, most women dont. you're just putting it on all women, (the way we tend to put negative shit on all men) just remember that while the negatives feel bigger and more consistent than the positives they almost always aren't.
So calm your tits.
@BaileyisDarcy No, actually, some guys get all the good treatment and most get nothing but bad treatment from women, and that's why most men learn to hate women eventually.
Which is fine when you're young and pretty and all you want to do is party with strapping young alpha male types, but when you get old and wrinkly, those types are going to start looking for younger girls and you'll be left with a population of 80% betas who all fucking hate you. Good luck!
@Bananaman177 boy the only "parties" i attend are those were i can have me sip of cider, play a good game of werewolf, and fall asleep somewhere safe because thats what happens when i drink.
I dont party with "strapping young alpha male types" i play card games with nerdy, sometimes stupid, guys with a sense of humour who wouldn't in a million years consider fucking OR dating me because they know what a bitch i can be.
@BaileyisDarcy I'm sure everybody knows that without even having to talk to you.
@Bananaman177 ... well no, im actually quite nice in person. Im just a bitch to the people Im either friends with or only know online XD
And i meant that sarcastically, obviously didn't come across that way, my bad, theyre just not into me either cause theyre gay, already IN a relationship, or just cause im not their type. They wouldn't be FRIENDS with me if they just didn't like me, duh.
@BaileyisDarcy I know exactly who you're nice to and I also know exactly why you're nice to them, and so do you.
Parasite.
@Bananaman177 boy, you're funny.
@BaileyisDarcy I know, right?
So you're probably thinking, "What now?"
Hmm, what now indeed? You have nothing.
Behind all your masks, the big secret is, there's nobody there.

No, I asked you to back up your opinion with facts. Data. The burden of proof is not on me to defend YOUR argument. You made a baseless assertion without fact to legitimize it. If you were trying to change my opinion you failed.
Everyone differently by nature and background. What small issues for someone maybe big issues for another. I can't judge anything with my standard too till I offended by anonymous of throlls my standard would be use judge them. About the topic, what can judge catcalling is rude or simple I think it is common sense of manner (both girls and guys manner). Im Asian and I stand for what right from wrong and still believe that what we treat another people show background of our family.(Im talking about harassed meaning by CC.)
I hope your sister and your mother gets cat called every time they step out the door. It wouldn't be a big deal right?
As someone who has both.. no it really wouldn't :D
@FýrdracaDócincel If someone yelled out to your mom or your sister that they want to take her and fuck her brains out and cum all over her face THEN when she tries to ignore it they call her a stuck up bitch or other insults or even worse but common follow her, that wouldn't be a big deal? Mk. Why don't you show them this thread then, see how they feel?
1
With my mom no it actually wouldn’t be
My mom has been in search for a man for years.
2
I actually have 2 sisters,
The eldest one has her own apartment so I wouldn’t know anyways, the older one is gay & dresses more masculine than I do so she’s not getting catcalled.
Neither of those would bother me
You can try again.
