minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·19 hours agoSomebody actually cat-calls women? Not just a stereotype from 80’s broadcasting? If they do, I’d imagine it’s a role they think they have to play for their peers. Do they do that when they are alone?

minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 hours agoNgl, it’s a bit disheartening to see how many men think catcalling just…doesn’t exist.
minus-squareRoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·16 hours agoTbh, they catcall teenage girls far, far more than they catcall women. And yes, it happens all the time when you’re young enough.
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·14 hours agoAs a man I can’t say much, but I have never seen it done. There might be some geographical differences.
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·13 hours agoOr perhaps it’s because you aren’t the target for catcalling?
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·13 hours agoTrue, but in my 40+ years I’d expect to be a bystander at least once. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just interested where.
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·13 hours agoEverywhere. It happens everywhere. It’s very easy to miss what women go through on a regular basis when you’re a man tbh.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·13 hours ago It’s very easy to miss what women go through on a regular basis when you’re a man tbh. but ULTRA surprising and VERY ego inflating when it does happen, but probably only so if you’re a man. lol
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·12 hours agoEw no. It’s demeaning and humiliating.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 hours agoit definitely depends on the person; i’m a man and i thought it was flattering af the few times it happened to me.
