minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down2·2 days 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-up5·2 days agoNgl, it’s a bit disheartening to see how many men think catcalling just…doesn’t exist.
minus-squareRoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days 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-down3·2 days 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-up10arrow-down1·2 days agoOr perhaps it’s because you aren’t the target for catcalling?
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·2 days 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-up10·2 days 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-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI might have been on the other end then.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days 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-up5arrow-down1·2 days agoEw no. It’s demeaning and humiliating.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoit definitely depends on the person; i’m a man and i thought it was flattering af the few times it happened to me.
