Sorry for that disgusting and provocative question but I realise that people here think they are entitled to harass/catcall women (or men) just because of their revealing clothes. It disgusts me how many people are horrible and still live in the middle ages. [Before you answere this question, I am not talking about how you judge or disrespect them silently or in your mind but I still want to know how you disrespect them. So just tell me, if you seriously insult/ harass them in any way]
I do not care about them and therefore, I dont harass/catcall/disrespect them
I silently disrespect or judge them
I disrespect/harass/cat call them directly whenever I see them
I even respect them

This question is also directed at women. Of course, there are terrible women who attack or cat-call men. Sorry for not making it clear
Have you ever harassed/catcalled someone who wears revealing clothes?
I feel like it's often women who judge other women for wearing revealing clothing in particular. Maybe that's just my experience. Men catcall no matter what I'm wearing. I hate it that women bring down other women for what they wear. As a more curvy girl, it's hard sometimes to dress 'modest' because you can't really hide the fact you have boobs. I used to get comments for being a slut in highschool by other girls because I was more 'gifted' at top. Now I really don't care anymore, but I feel like women should support eachother. Also in their personal expression in their clothing.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wearing revealing clothing. And catcalling is terrifying.
I’m lucky enough to go to school on a private campus. So I don’t experience it that much, at least not in public. There are plenty of people that turn into creeps as soon as they think you’re alone. But catcalling doesn’t really happen on campus. Occasionally we’ll get some people on campus who don’t go to school here and just talk around being creeps. But if they’re going around catcalling, they’re usually removed from campus in under a half hour.
I live by the beach in Colombia. It's steaming hot every day of the year. Revealing clothes are just how life is and to be honest everyone is so used to it you rarely hear catcalls. But I gotta admit it is rather peasant behaviour these days. In Peru the guys on the construction sites in Lima would stop and whistle at half the women who walked by. My girlfriend there would avoid any street where they were building. So females if you are out of the States and you walk by the construction sites... remember you aren't in Kansas anymore.
I catcalled a woman when I was 17 and visiting Kentucky and not so smart. She ended up kneeing me in the nuts and calling me a pig boy. Being on the cement a good 5 or 6 minutes wasn't a pleasant experience. After that, I don't risk catcalling women now.
dude... inflicting violence with a risk of permanent crippeling of a person (kneeing a guys nuts may cause impotence) doesn't seem like an appropriate reaction to being "cat called". is it just me or is that just way out of proportion? yeah you were an asshole. we all have been an asshole before. but being subject to physical violence for something you said? wtf...
"dude... inflicting violence with a risk of permanent crippeling of a person (kneeing a guys nuts may cause impotence) doesn't seem like an appropriate reaction to being "cat called". is it just me or is that just way out of proportion? yeah you were an asshole. we all have been an asshole before. but being subject to physical violence for something you said? wtf..." i know men who beat up cat callers for cat calling their wife/gf.
Why do you slap random people? It depends on the culture. Cat calling is one of the rudest thing you can do in my home country and so you can except physical violonce.
I've never harrassed anyone for what they're wearing and I dont think cat calling is okay. However I also think that if someone is going out in public revealing as much skin as possible, I dont care what they say, they are fishing for some kind of attention. So when someone shouts "hey looking good!" Well what were you expecting? Prince charming to ride in on a horse and whisk the fair maiden away? You dont have much of a right to be upset at someone for admiring your body in public when you're putting it on display. If you dont want people staring at you, dont put yourself on display. If you're dressed modestly and someone is still giving you shit then you have a right to be upset and that is a genuine problem. But if the only parts of your body the public can't see are your breast and the top of your ass, what are you doing? If you're going out like that and DONT want people to notice and make comments. Well maybe you're just stuck up and full of yourself.

How about just shutting your mouth and mind your own business even if she is naked?
Some people have loose lips, you can't change everyone. Some people are going to be asses like that. But if you're walking around in public naked you are begging for it at that point. I'd argue that being naked in PUBLIC where lots of people are gathered sorta interjects your business into theirs thus making it just a tiny bit their business as well.
I have never cat called but have been cat called by women, because it isn't about gender it's about the quality of person. You never see a guy in a suit cat call, for example.
But why do women feel entitled to expose themselves in public and get triggered when they get the attention they are trying to get from the wrong people? You can't put meat in a shark tank and then get upset because the wrong shark takes interest.
In regards to the respect, yeah that's another part of the entitlement of women. If a guy was walking around with his dick out, 100% guarantee that women would not give him much respect. They would act like he was a fucking creep and openly shame and attack him but women feel completely entitled to expose as much as possible and act like it isn't the same thing.
where in any of this conversation did anyone say anything about harming somebody? and what I meant by men getting arrested; I meant if a man exposed himself the way that women exposed themselves daily he would be arrested.
"In regards to the respect, yeah that's another part of the entitlement of women. If a guy was walking around with his dick out, 100% guarantee that women would not give him much respect." Same for women who show their vagina off by the way. Wtf are you even. talking about? Men can go topless but if a woman go topless she would be arrested. Why men can't take responsibilites and can't stop cat calling?
no one said women can’t go outside without being harassed. But why can’t men go outside without women exposing themselves for our attention. Its like visual rape. If men did it to you, you would also call that harassment.
In most western societies women are actually permitted to go topless but like I said no one is talking about tits. Women expose their vaginas. You can deny it but they do. Let’s not do the rape apology scapegoat. No one at any point except women like yourself who use it as a silencing tactic ever says that women deserve to be raped.
Your excuses are amazing. These “accidents” happen because you choose to wear nothing and bend and move like you are wearing something. It’s not an accident if you do it constantly. Also... just because your box doesn’t stick off you doesn’t make it less wrong to expose in public and around children. That entitlement is what is wrong with our society. Literally none of these are on a beach and that still wouldn’t excuse the exposing of your genitals in public. I never said women expose themselves “for me” but visually forcing the image of your genitals onto unexpecting people in wrong. No matter how you excuse it.
I love the “just don’t look at it” mind set. Like if I see a guy with his dick out around children... “just don’t look at it”. It isn’t that simple when every direction you look is a female wearing almost nothing with a smug sense of entitlement.
I think cat calling women is stupid. Here's my take. We guys can wear sleeveless shirts and even go topless in some occasions which is more than revealing but we rarely or maybe not even get called out for those. While women has to suffer from cat calling because of the over sexualization of the a female's body. Now, cat calling is basically depriving her of her freedom to wear what she likes and that's unfair. Just because she wore something revealing doesn't mean we have the right to call her out.
It doesn’t bother me , I actually laugh , if she is hot I will wave her over to come Talk to me but if I am not attracted Toward her I will still just laugh , I know most girls don’t like being catcalled so I don’t do it but if I see a hot girl walk by me That got my attention I will just say Damn and try To make eye contact with her lol
I've never catcalled a woman (whether she's wearing revealing clothes or not), because I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I suspect most men don't do this, and it's mostly some rotten apples who are responsible for doing so.
As for respect... I neither respect nor disrespect someone for the clothes they wear.
If you act like something you gonna be addressed accordingly 😉
If you don't like it stop being that naive and use your brain that you actually provoke for it even if you consciously didn't understand it was extremely the signal for that you did look for what you did get.
People are pretty ignarant and naive today in a pretty stupid way trying to gaslight what they really are doing.

Does not give you any right to harass a girl even if she is naked in front of you
"If you act like something you gonna be addressed accordingly 😉 " i dont act, i dress wtf i want- nothing against laws
"If you don't like it stop being that naive and use your brain that you actually provoke for it even if you consciously didn't understand it was extremely the signal for that you did look for what you did get. " if you dont like it to get insulted or shoot, then shut your fucking mouth and stop getting triggered by casual clothes
"People are pretty ignarant and naive today in a pretty stupid way trying to gaslight what they really are doing." Yeah like you
It's actually debatable if everybody dresses like that with revealing everything like men showing their bulges and fat stomachs they should not be jailed then appropriate dressing for appropriate places is required.. But not to be catcalled if they are breaching law of appropriateness same as men they should be jailed and fined by the law and police not by other people

I dont care if your stomach but i dont know any girl who her vagina
Camel toes? So thin pants that there ass shows that could be neglected but boobs are sensual for men , stomachs are fine but show them off, if only dicks were the size of boobs on average even guys would have been cat called😂and the scenario would be completely different
To simplify it if women are free to show the sensual parts and not to be judged the same should go for men right and they should not be sent to jails so we must respect each others boundaries but catcalling would be wrong what I would say it jail them or fine 👍 it's ok if you don't agree with me I understand
That doesn't work like that it's not snesual for women men and women or not same there are places right we can do such stuff and as I already told they will put guys in jail for nudity it's just how it is.
I heartily DISAGREE with the statement in the picture above that says "whisper". Wearing a bikini is commonplace on beaches in many countries, especially here in the US. In fact, there are some girls who shouldn't be wearing them but that's another story. LOL And showing a little midriff or shoulder isn't consider slutty either. I don't know what it's like in Austria.
I dont cat call but in my experience woman dont mind it if its coming from an man they find attractive they pretty much expect attention from attractive men, which is exactly why i ignore a woman wearing revealing clothing. My thing is i will respect you as a human but im not gonna treat you like a lady im not gonna be a gentleman i will not even befriend a woman who isn't modest.
I got harassed by 3 women. They sweared at me. Women are disgusting creatures. I hate all of them. I couldn't even sue them to the feminist laws. One woman said to me idiot while passing near me. She was a disgusting pig. I never forget it. Feminists should die.
Women are not pleasure meat for men. We do not exist to only please them sexually but many guys act like we do. It's pathetic. These men are creatures of the flesh, not human.
I once got catcalled by a bunch of teen kids from the park. I was just wearing normal clothes like I always do but I think they were just a bunch of punks.
i find it offensive that catcalling is now seen as bad as harrassment. that kind of stomps all over people that actually got harrassed. i think cat calling is a dumb form of compliment. not a criminal offense.
@angeliquedevereux2 how does it freaking scare you if someone shouts: "hey, nice tits" or something like that. They like your tits. That's it. yeah it's a stupid way of telling you that but it's not dangerous, violent or criminal. It's your decision to feel uncomfortable with it. You could take it as the compliment that it is.
@angeliquedevereux2 i have, believe it or not. it's slightly awkward. but it is NOT AT ALL anywhere close to sexual harrassment dude... i don't know if you were sexually harrassed before but i'm sure you'd hate it if people put that on the same level as being cat called if you were...
I've been on an empty train, pushed onto a seat and fingered without any consent. I've been boob grabbed several times. So yeah, i've been sexually harassed before. But there's a difference between a person in the street telling you something like 'NICE TITS' and a person running up to a woman and cupping a boob. But if you really don't think catcalling is such an issue here's my run-ins: I was walking to a beach in a swimsuit and these two guys kept following me on the opposite side of the road and shouting 'Nice tits, hottie!', 'show us your boobs', 'How much for a peice of that ass?' and other statements like that. It came to a point where I covered by hands over my bikini and I was scared to walk home in case they'd follow me and stalk me. But sure I could've taken that entire run-in as some sort of compliment 🙄
It scared me when soemone catcalled me about my body. Not only because i was wearing regular clothing and was just walking by myself to the supermarket, but also because i was 13 and the dude was in his late 20's. Should've i then thought 'its just his way of complimenting. Don't feel scared'? It kinda feels like you're defending guys that catcall.
@AdorableLilo but you're kind of pitching a super extreme example against regular cat calling, where a grown mature man catcalls a grown, also mature woman.
I am an adult now. Between then and now i still get catcalled and i feel unsafe every. Single. Time. Over time i get more uncomfortable and feel unsafe with male strangers in general. It stil seems as if you think it's justifiable because the woman just feels uncomfortable. Don't you think it's better if men just don't unwantedly yell at woman how gorgeous they think their body are. It's more likely that she'll feel unsafe rather than feel flattered, it saves her mental health over time and the worst thing that will happen when keeping the unwanted compliment to yourself would be that the 2% of woman who do love such attention would think 'aww, no one noticed'
@AdorableLilo you know what feels unsafe? if a guy invades your personal space and threattens to do things to you while also physically holding you or even touching you inappropriately. that's harrassment. i think it's horrible to compare that to some dude catcalling you across the street.
I've been catcalled, sexually harassed and orally raped when i was 11. Believe me, I know the severity between those and that there are worse things than getting catcalled. But we are talking about getting catcalled and that's what everyone's sharing their opinion about. The question wasn't 'are there worse things than getting cat called'. Catcalling is still by definition harassment. Maybe not severe harassment or sexual harrasment, but it's a mild form of it. All i'm saying is it's best if dudes stay decent and keep their unwanted comments to themselves
never have and never will. Most of the time I don’t care about what people choose to wear. Even if it is something really revealing, I keep my opinions to myself
I've never done it. I don't pay attention to strangers out in public though unless they interact with me first. Usually it's just telling people nah I don't have a spare cig, fuck off.
I live at the beach so unless she is walking down the street nude I do not even notice. And I would not catcall UNLESS it was one of my female friends because they do the same to me.
You know all those Callcallers and people you call harassers? Women should enjoy it because they're going to look back on those days (when they're older) and wish they would do that in the present. Also, just admit it, there are some guys out there you want to give you the attention for wearing the Revealing Clothing or else you wouldn't do it. This behavior isn't a problem as long as your attracted to the guy whos doing it.

I know women in their 40s who are happy for not getting cat called
I didn't indirectly say that. I just said I didn't get a rush from being catcalled by old men. Doesn't mean I don't get a rush either from being catcalled by younger men. However, in my experience most men who catcall are old. At least 50 years of age. Maybe that's just my audience, but I do think it has something to do with their old-fashioned way of thinking and maybe the younger generation is raised knowing it's inappropriate to catcall, but one can only hope.
I think catcalling is completely unnecessary and not something I have to deal with. I think men should be raised better and teach eachother what appropriate behaviour is. I don't think I'm delicate for not putting up with unnecessary shit like this.
I've never cat called a woman; but I have received cat calling by girls in my middle school library (of all the places). I found it to be annoying and immature.
I have more symphaty for white people than my own people because they only shit they care is spreading the religion or speaking about usseless shit instead of caring about real problems in the muslim community. I know what I am talking about and especially as a man you should tf up. Muslim women go so much through but as soon as we talk about the problems we are called kufr or get silinced because they can't stand there are women who forced to wear hijab or there are woman who also has sexual urges or in general mental illness is a taboo. No wonder why the suicide rate is so high among muslim women. The only thing they can is victim playing and being lazy. The majority of them is like that. I am just disgusted
The asker needs to stop reading delusional Feminist bullshit and spend some time in the real world. In the First World, catcalling by men is so uncommon that I have not seen it.

I ask this question after i have seen so many idiots on gag
Literally everyone I know gets catcalled and I experience it quite often. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not happening. It's often silent like someone whispering when passing by or sitting next to you in the metro or making sounds like 'damnn' 'ksstt' or kissing sounds.
@spuitkaas So. . . in your mind catcalling occurs when there is silence in the real world, but in your imagination it happens. Catcalling occurs when a man looks, but says nothing to you, in your view of the world. You have drunk so much of the Feminist insanity Kool-Aid that you have become delusional. Seriously. That is not intended to be an insult. That is an honest conclusion drawn from the words that you wrote. Stop attending Gender Studies lectures. Stop reading Dworkin, Solanis and Steinem et al. and ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist. Seriously. . . and said in a spirit of caring.
I would say you're drawing wrong conclusions. I didn't mean silent, I meant not screaming out in the streets for everyone to hear. To be fair, I think I was clear about that in my comment and you know what I meant. You can't say 'it's not an insult' and then say 'you're delusional' and 'see a psychiatrist'. I very much take them as insults. It's not my fault you can't draw obvious conclusions from what I wrote.
@spuitkaas If you cannot hear what is said, you cannot possibly know what was said. Therefore, you cannot know whether or not it was about you. lf you cannot hear it, it cannot be catcalling.
