On This Morning they are discussing Wolf whistling. The girl suggests it is harassment and bullying...the other says it is flattery and likes it.

Like or not like if it happens to you?

A bloke on his own is fine.

Been years since I had a whistle though...

The only time I find it inappropriate is when I'm walking somewhere with my child. I've even had the obligatory "get your tits out" from some workmen that I had to walk past I said show me your dick then to the one I thought had said it, he didn't the other guys just laughed at him.

Ok, was in Birmingham last month doing a sign fitting on some hoarding boards outside a new restaurant that was currently being fitted out, anyways, pissing down rain, I'm squatted down facing the hoarding board removing the skirting from the bottom, my back facing two bus stops and a load of the general public, suddenly I hear said whistle followed by the word "eh love your butt crack is takin on water"

At the this point I just collapsed in a heap laughing my head off, couldn't look behind me though, as the amount of laughter coming from across the road was deafening.

I'll take a wolf whistle any day and no matter what the circumstances are.

I hate it. It makes me feel embarrassed.

One of the few benefits of being fat is that it happens far, far less.

When I was slim I was still, um, top heavy and I used to get whistles and shouted comments about getting my tits out or not getting many of those to the pound all the bloody time.

Well it's gone a bit further than that. The news story is that Notts Police now classify wolf whistling as a hate crime.

That sounds as though it would lead to very severe penalties??

It's not a cause for being a hate crime,in a way even though can't think of receiving one..I'm forgetful but should it happen, just smile a little, and continue on

Life is for living not for worrying that every thing we do is going to be wrong...next we might see a fetish list for wolf whistling hehe

Do you really think this is an appropriate response?

You're effectively telling women who don't like it that they should like it.

If you didn't like something and told someone as much, I'm fairly sure you'd want them to stop doing it, not say "some men like it" or "it's a compliment" and carry on!

If something makes someone feel uncomfortable or offended, it's not a compliment.

It happened to me last summer when 4 youngish men were parked up the road to my daughter's. I walked past did a double take and gave him a "you sure?" look. They all burst out laughing and I walked off shaking my head.

this whole 'wolf whistling' thing was to do with Nottinghamshire Police being the first force to acknowledge it as being part of a hate crime, in the context of misogyny towards women...

I was married to a misogynist and he never wolf whistled at me, he just beat the crap out of me and made me feel like I was worthless

I don't mind men who wolf whistle...it gives me a boost when they do, and it makes me smile...I never smile when I think of my misogynist ex husband

I can't quite see the leap from a wolf whistle to potential rapist.

It's not the most eloquent of introductions, but is it something that should be banned or criminalised?

If we push to make sure that nobody is ever offended by anything, then you can bet your bottom dollar that swinging will join the list of things outlawed.

I previously said I hate being wolf whistled. A smile, a nice comment following eye contact etc. means there is some non verbal communication preceding it. A wolf whistle doesn't have that. My hatred stems back to when I first started getting wolf whistled and shouted at from open car windows. And it was when I was a teenager and often in my school uniform. So tell me that that's OK behaviour for a grown man or group of grown men to indulge in to show off in front of their mates?!

I say....thank you very much...and carry on with my life.

The way things are going it seems that any man is going to be thought of as a sex offender before he is thought of as anything else and that is scary and really quote depressing.

It's as sad as labelling all black men as gun wielding criminals who will shoot you as soon as look at you or all hoody wearing youths as thugs.

Labelling it as a hate crime is, in my view a step too far and detracts from the seriousness of real hate crimes.

If you don't like wolf whistles that's fair enough, simply walk on by without breaking step and don't give them the time of day,but to accuse those of doing it as being sex offenders is ridiculous in my opinion.

I previously said I hate being wolf whistled. A smile, a nice comment following eye contact etc. means there is some non verbal communication preceding it. A wolf whistle doesn't have that. My hatred stems back to when I first started getting wolf whistled and shouted at from open car windows. And it was when I was a teenager and often in my school uniform. So tell me that that's OK behaviour for a grown man or group of grown men to indulge in to show off in front of their mates?!"

But it's bad manners, not a crime.

I'm nit sure it should be a hate crime (though in some instances such as when it is a daily event) bur I've always thought that every man that does it is an arsehole. It's a sign of entitlement, of power, it objectifies people and often is intended to instill fear rather than to compliment

"wouldn't say wolf whistling is bullying, it's a shit compliment. whoopee you see something you like and cba to make any effort? thanks.

it could be harassment if someone finds that offensive, after all not everyone likes being objectified.

It's not ok behaviour and the thought of that happening to my two whilst they're in their school uniforms is pretty sickening.

I have a possible short term solution.

All people who like to wolf whistle at others should wear a luminous orange T shirt entitled Whistles from the Wolf.....

All people wanting a whistle to form an orderly queue.

Any Whistler whistling where a whistle wasn't wanted runs the risk of a firm middle finger being raised in their direction.

Solved.

In your bed

I can't do it so no issue here.

I can see why some enjoy it but it's one of those things that really should not be done anymore.

I was dropping my kids off at school and a very hot lady was also dropping off hers. Lorry starts to toot at her.

What does she say to her kids if they ask?

Also when was the last time a guy pulled from whistling?

You don't hear it in a swinging setting either. So if it's not appropriate were people are looking to fuck, then middle of the day is not a better setting.

If said whistler, just stopped, approached and asked nicely whether the person fancied going on a date, thats also a compliment and less likely to cause public embarrassment for those that don't enjoy whistles.

"I don't think it's bullying or harrassment but I do think it shows the intelligence of those who do it. "

100% agree with you here.

"The last time it happened I wasn't impressed because the men were three d*unk refugees on a bench outside the station.

If it had been the network rail guys in their orange overalls, harnesses, white hard hats, steel capped boots and Raybands...well what can I say, it would have made my day.

So the type of men doing it is what makes it right or wrong?

"

The question was asked individually, I answered as such. Unemployed d*unks *for me* unimpressed. Buff workmen would have made *my* day. What can I say, I'm shallow and easily pleased.

"A stranger whistles at you because he thinks you're attractive is objectification. What if he smiles at you? Or says he thinks you look lovely?

I say....thank you very much...and carry on with my life.

The way things are going it seems that any man is going to be thought of as a sex offender before he is thought of as anything else and that is scary and really quote depressing.

It's as sad as labelling all black men as gun wielding criminals who will shoot you as soon as look at you or all hoody wearing youths as thugs.

Labelling it as a hate crime is, in my view a step too far and detracts from the seriousness of real hate crimes.

If you don't like wolf whistles that's fair enough, simply walk on by without breaking step and don't give them the time of day,but to accuse those of doing it as being sex offenders is ridiculous in my opinion. "

Personally I see a wolf whistle as a purely lazy way of demonstrating a lack of ability in human interaction, rooted in a desperate base attempt to gain interaction.

Almost a way of saying,, I haven't the ability, inclination, imagination, social skills, opportunity or motivation to actually go out of my way to converse with you, express my interest or appreciation or any other way of interacting with you.

That said, I respect some like it, some don't.

As a method of expressing ones interest however, I find it crass.
