They invade my space, but I definitely put them near the bottom of the totem pole as harassment goes. They're still super annoying though.
Ahh, so how bad something is, how much we should count one's feeling of anxiety and discomfort, depends not on that level but how you preserve the effects being.

So would you say catcalling should be illegal while those other forms of harassment should remain legal?
Wait, are you debating me about something?
Just gauging response and asking opinion. Is that odd for a debate board?
No, I just don't know what (if anything) we're actually debating over.
I found it interesting the hierarchy of harassment that was being proposed and wondered how far it would be taken.
Sorry, maybe I should do Sudoku in the mornings, but you're going to have to draw me a map.
I'm interested to see if the men and women of DP are on par with each other or polar opposites on the subject of women being cat called. Please answer thoughtfully and honestly to the closest answer to your personal opinion. Feel free to chime in after you've voted.

I don't really have a good or bad opinion and I've been cat called many times. In my neighborhood someone saying hey mama or something like that is common and I guess maybe I just am used to it and just smile and keep walking. If they take it further or are bein creepy I'll just tell them to **** off and that seems to work just fine.
I think it's stupid and immature, but because it's typically harmless, I don't care. There are much bigger problems to worry about than someone saying something insensitive to another person. Of course, the radical feminists act like it's the end of the world because they are typically over-emotional, over-sensitive and entirely self-centered.
As a lesbian, it makes me feel very gross. It makes me fear their reaction to me not being happy about, and it just makes me feel uncomfortable overall.
I don't understand why you would feel ANYTHING one way or another about people you don't know speaking about you one way or another. I have been called many things by many people and doesn't bother me in the least, the older I get the less I even notice. I just would like to know how and or why you would have such a reaction, especially considering in all likelihood you will never interact with the offending individual ever again. I find such reactions borderline incomprehensible. I don't like when people or animals fart, but its part of life, and like farts words and whistles and gestures pass. Also like communication, farts can be easily ignored (well mostI have dog that you need a hazmat suit and a gas mask to be around if he eats something he shouldn't. What every we do we don't start fires around him, he could be very flammable.)
"have a nice day" is not insenitive....
All the while undressing them with their eyes?
"have a nice day" is not insenitive....
No it's not, but that's not what a lot of people would consider catcalling either. Well, except for some of the most extremely over-sensitive at least.
It is different when there is a sexual component to it; there just is. It's gross, creepy, and highly unwanted. Also, there is a fear when walking down the street that if someone starts this behavior it could escalate into something much more dangerous. When I hear these things, you can't help but have the thought that this might end up turning violent. Rape is something you have to think of, especially when you're alone and especially at night. You personally might not have to think about it, but women do. So, try to think about it from our perspective.
I am 5'5" and weight about 180, physically I am no match for most any potential opponent or opponents, that said I don't walk around with a mentality that cares about aggressive speech, its only important to me when combined with aggressive action. I have noticed that the predators in life notice (most of the time anyhow) how you carry yourself. If you walk about fervitively like your are scared, they become more aggressive, but if carry yourself as though they were nothing more than vermin who's hide's you would wear as boots they tend to avoid you. I have noticed that sort of attitude works especially well for women. I don't know much about being a "sexual object" so I cant comprehend really what that is. But I do know especially in less civilized neighborhoods that aggressiveness and potential violence are a much greater likelihood and therefor if one should go to those type areas, they should be more aggressive and less passive seeming. That's my take anywho.
