I take it you don't have a daughter? Or any kids for that matter. Explains it.

I do have a daughter, you dimwitted little twit.

And yet I still don't think that words are grounds for jail time, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

That you think imprisoning someone for speaking is far more vile than any catcalling could ever be.

I'm pretty sure if I walked around for 10 hours on crowded city streets, I'd have dozens of passerbys who would say "hi" or "good morning" as well.

Same here. Plus I usually say Hi to almost anyone I pass...obviously if I was in a crowded city on foot like New York, that would be ridiculous...but passing 2-3 people every few minutes I think it's just polite.

That said, most don't even acknowledge yet alone respond.

LMAO. Walking through Times Square yesterday to catch the trains back to Jersey, I overheard some fool yell out to this girl. "Hey mami?" or "Hi baby" or some other such nonsense. She completely ignores him, and he gets upset and says "you not that pretty anyway!"

I had a flashback of this thread and I just shook my head as I was rushing to try and get the hell out of NYC.

People like this need to go to jail or serve some community service for harassing women who have no interest in them or their lame ass catcalls.

Clearly no woman you are related too has gotten any attention evar.

That's not harassment...it's rude; but anyone is free to ask someone pretty much anything.

You can go up to a woman at work (if your job allows dating in the workforce) and ask "hey wanna fuck this weekend?"

Not harassment.

Now keep asking her everyday after she said "no" then, that's harassment.

Notice how the post was from 2010 with supporting comments in 2010 but the negetive comments are from October 2014? Did ATOT'ers comment-bomb the blogs comment section?

No, there are certain communities (/r9k/, wizardchan, etc) that are hotbeds of frustrated male virginity and misogyny, and they literally masturbate to that specific story.

A girl that dresses to attract attention because she'd never get it normally and then says she is oppressed.

Some of those guys were creeps, but just saying "Hi" is problem?

LoL

Yeah, a t-shirt and jeans is really going all out to attract attention...

Wow. I feel sorry for your daughter then. Hope she gets cat called (in the future) and stalked by one of these scumbags who won't take no or silence for an answer.

Thanks for the insults I hope that makes you feel better about yourself.

Dude that's fucked up.

I hope my daughter gets catcalled some times.

Why do all dudes that like a nice looking chick have to be stalkers? WTF wishing rape on his daughter.

There's a right way to approach a female and you know it.

If these animals want to yell at a female from across the street so be it. I don't care. But when they ignore you and keep moving and you make another slightly more aggressive comment to make yourself feel better that she rejected you and didn't run into your arms then that's when I get pissed off.

Yeah try that in your work place and see if security don't escort you right of the premises. Lol.

She was sort of strutting and playing the part. Based on how long she was walking, this wasn't much.

Tight jeans and a t-shirt esp if one can see your ass and stuff, draws attention.

Outside the few creepy guys, no one did anything wrong except the chick for bitching a man thought she was attractive and expressed it.

Most of these were "Hey baby!" not really cat calls IMHO...the dudes following her and stuff were out of line.

Yeah, for safety's sake, she should be in a full-on burka.

Obviously unwanted compliments are creepy.

I never wished rape and never will on anyone.

Well maybe except this guy. Preferably by a big black man named Bubba.

Sadly, women or men can't choose when and who compliments them.

I guess in your world she would have walked past the guy, doubled back and said "I am going to walk by once again, please tell me I am HAWT!"

That world must be nice, do they sell the Kool-Aid?

How often did you holla and hustle on the streets in your prime, alke?

Hate to break it to you, but it's sort of normal when young. Girls do it too. I have had my ass pinched a few times and get the "Who me?" look when I turned around. I have also had my belt removed at a club and could only get it back if I made out with her.

Both times lead to some late night beach fucking.

Up until recently since I am engaged and have a baby coming, I have always stopped and said "Hi" or "Hey lady" to a chick I was interested in. I don't comment on her ass or tits right off the bat, but they may come up in the first chat if I think that's where it's going.

Obviously a chick I was looking for more from I'd be a little more focused on getting to know her first than getting to "know" her first.

I can believe it, especially in Florida. Unfortunately it's only the men that do so to me (and they usually aren't so polite).

A chick is being a bitch when she doesn't just say "thanks", yelling across the street and shit is a bit over the top. Yelling "Hey Beautiful!" though is hardly that wrong.

Asking someone if they wanna fuck is not a security issue...if she says "no" and you keep pursuing it or try to coerce her into it, then it is. I wouldn't use the term "fuck" in the workplace, but asking politely for sex would fly. However; most of these laws are getting stronger and stronger about anyone approaching anyone.

Many people think just asking someone or complementing someone in the work place is harassment. Probably this chick does too because no one is asking her.

It is getting to the point where you can't tell someone they look good.

I don't agree with it. Most guys don't consider it harassment when a woman complements their muscles, but do the same to a woman and the laws sort of say that is over the line.

New York was probably the most cat calling I have ever heard. Miami in parts is like that.

Up here not so much except around clubs and the like.

How is a woman supposed to know that the compliment is genuine and not either sarcastic or given with sole intentions of sexual advancement? "Hey beautiful" from a completely random person sounds like it could be either. And what laws are you talking about?

First, almost any time people of the opposite sex in the same peer group are complementing each other it's both genuine and usually about future sex. That's just human nature.

The laws are sexual harassment laws. They are getting more and more crazy and have things like "in the past, while this was normal and cultural behavior; times have recently changed..."

I am not saying sexual harassment is not a problem, but I don't think a guy or a girl is harassing anyone by just saying "damn!" as they walk by.
