Catcalling / wolf whistling

There's a lot of discussion on the radio. Many saying this is unwanted attention and threatening or harassment. Others say its a compliment. Opinions?

Well I'd sooner be whistled at than hurled abuse at.

It's generally boorish behaviour by someone trying to big themselves up in front of their equally doltish friends in my experience

It makes me uncomfortable and self-conscious.

Its not something I have ever done and if honest I find it a little uncomfortable seeing other men wolf whistling or beeping the car horn etc at women out for a walk/run and sadly I have seen this lately and in light of what happened a few months ago its just very distasteful.

A town near you

Not that I'm for or against but I can't honestly remember the last time I heard or see this carry on.

Very rare nowadays I reckon

It makes me sooo uncomfortable especially when I'm walking past a group of teens and they are making comments.

I often experience it whistling usual a group of works or just a group of guys. It does catch my attention i usually just smile and flick my hair and walk on. On a bad day or moment i would probably nod my head side to side and think saddos lol.

It's funny the last time Dee got catcalled I was walking up behind her after stopping to do something. It stopped when I caught up with her. Maybe the sight of a big bald angry looking bastard put the lads off.

Not something I've ever done but I've been on the receiving end of it a few times. A previous job took me into between 40 and 60 pubs every week so there were always hen parties and well fuelled ladies lunches and anyone with a penis was catcalled and whistled at. Sometimes it was funny and lighthearted but more often than not it was uncomfortable.

I had to be rescued by the landlady once when a group of hens assumed I was the stripper.

I often wondered what would have happened if my female boss had been manhandled by a stag party?

Would you really though just like that in a public space,

a bar or other space actually more important some where other than a bar when completely sober? I didn't think this sort of thing happens any more especially when not out on s night does it?

Makes me walk that little bit faster...

Also is one of the reasons why I sometimes carry my keys between fingers.

Safe to say I hate it.

Missus

Nope. Don’t like it. It’s archaic and slimy. It doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable, it makes me feel unsafe. And F you for doing that.

Anyways its usually teenage twatwallops.

Frankly, it's a very long time since I have heard any lady being harassed by wolfwhistling/catcalling.

Most people now realise that social norms have changed and that everyone is entitled to walk the streets unhindered.

However, I can envisage limited circumstances where it might be tolerated, such as at a university's Fresher's Ball where all the people present are of similar status or belong to the same club or group.

Women nowadays are almost invariably unsettled by this bawdy behaviour that one normally associated with building site workers

It should be reserved for hailing taxis…..

Opinions are like a**holes - everybody has one

Personally, it really depends on the circumstances, surroundings, who, when, where, how, what context, vibe, what mood am I in etc. It can make me feel very uncomfortable and intimidated. It can make me feel attractive and put a spring in my step.

Though I'm either leading a very sheltered life or I've lost the touch because I can't remember the last time someone wolf whistled at me

And that’s when it’s completely acceptable.

Really mixed opinions on this....particularly from the fairer sex who are on the receiving end of it.

Ex irish model came out in support of this in recent days...she considers it harmless and a compliment.

Personay i havent seen in years and think ot deserves to be rightfully relegated to history. If only some women are made uncomfortable its enough. Also....we all have sistets and daughters. Woildnt like a family member of mine on receiving end. Isnt it funny also how men dont do this when on their own....that speaks volumes.

Having said that....i still think society has gone way too PC. I like to think most people nowadays know whats appropriate behaviour and what isnt.

Not really sure what the problem is. It is ,I'm sure, intended as a compliment - as no one would really whistle at someone they didn't find attractive. I've been whistled at, and had my arss slapped/pinched ( OK I was much younger !) I can't say it bothered me - it was always done in good humour.
