For the ones with the temerity to ask for/demand help, I always reply, "You've come a long way, baby." The older ones truly do get that insult.<br /><br />I figure it's payback for the 10,000 times I was called a male chauvinist pig when I was growing up.<br /><br />Payback is a bitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-18834159209077872532014-02-21T10:49:15.021-08:002014-02-21T10:49:15.021-08:00Theory: Young women hate cat calls because it is ...Theory: Young women hate cat calls because it is a reminder that men only want them for their youthful beauty. Subconsciously, they know they will lose this some day. The cat call is a constant nagging that they should do something with their life besides coast (gym, learning a skill, etc). A girl who is secure in her future self, does not need to fear the cat call and is free to enjoy it or laugh it off.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-68351588590158295462014-02-21T09:28:03.026-08:002014-02-21T09:28:03.026-08:00Unmentioned in most of the complaints about cat-ca...Unmentioned in most of the complaints about cat-calling is the race and social class of the cat-callers. <br /><br />Just like crime, if something "bad" happens and race isn't mentioned, the perp is black. I've seen a few essays complaining about it which have mentioned that black and Hispanic men are almost always the ones doing the cat-calling, and even when it's a white man, it's always working-class men (except when it's actual frat boys - at the frat house). <br /><br />So the real complaint about cat-calling isn't that the women are being objectified, it's that they're being objectified by the <b>wrong men</b>.<br /><br />(WV: "chivalry"!)Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389602137217799305noreply@blogger.com
