There are far worse things people do to others that should receive proper punishment.

Out of curiosity is it just proposed as a hate crime if a male wolf whistles a female?

Wolf whistling is considered a hate incident rather than a crime apparently.

Also included in the discussion are verbal abuse, unwanted physical approaches, harassment in the street, sending texts without consent or sending unwanted text messages.

I think the 1970s was the last time anyone wolf whistled at me.

And rightley so.

Lock the whistling cunts up and let them whistle in jail for about 10 years.

That will learn them.

Fukers have got away with whistling for too long.

Infact cut the fuking toungue out of them..

If you've never seen the triangle diagram about sexual conduct where small behaviours that objectify and dehumanise can lead to other more serious ones becoming commonplace/acceptable.

That's why there's a change in the law to try to encourage change at all levels in attitude/behaviour.

Last time someone wolf whistled at me, it took every bit of self control I had to not walk over and punch him in the face. If he hadn't been a stupid teenager, I might have done.

That's funny: I got my first ever last night waiting for a train. And it did make me feel very uncomfortable. Kind of a low, gentle one so that only I could hear.

May have had something to do with it coming from a bloke. And a bloke who appeared both randy, and just..very seedy. Why he couldn't have just said heelo I don't know.

I did say to him that back in the day they used to be a lot more..piercing.

I did think it was out of order before it happened to me, but at least I now know how menacing it can feel as well.

It’s not quite so much fun when you’re a 15 year old girl and a group of builders aged approx 20-55 start whistling and staring as you walk past. Then it all becomes a little bit uncomfortable and quite unpleasant and lecherous ..... just saying it’s all about context

Not good he did that but good you can appreciate how it can feel from odd people.

I guess it depends on the type of person you are.

In my younger days I found it quite intimidating (inwardly flattered ).

I'm a very different person now, much more confident and would probably just smile. If I was bothered I'd have no problem in telling them so!

I don't think it's a hate incident or crime. It's just a whistle. If there is heckling and the such, that's different.

I don't disagree with it becoming a hate incident connected with misogyny. I was just pointing out that the discussion is around more than just wolf whistling and that the intention isn't to make it a crime as such.

It’s about dehumanisation and unwanted sexualisation. One person has no right to sexualise you without your consent or to make sexual demands of you without your agreement.

Whilst I’m aware that some people on here may enjoy that aspect, others certainly don’t. There are times and places for that thing and someone out walking or going about their day certainly isn’t either of those.

It’s about respect and recognition for the other person. It’s not a ‘compliment’ as some would say, what it says is ‘I don’t care about you as a person, objectively and irrespective of how you feel about it, I want to sexualise you right now.’ Personally I find that very very wrong.

Genuine question here.

What if a guy approaches me in a bar and starts to chat me up? Say, for arguments sake, that I'm there with my girlfriends for a night out and not looking to be "picked up". Shouldn't that be classed the same? He's seen me, thought "fancy a bit of that" and approaches me. Isn't he sexualising me? Should I report him to the police for a hate incident?

I think context/intent is the key here rather than the act it's self. What I fear is were we look at the act it's self as a hate crime rather than looking into the context/intent. As with everything we need common sense not moral panic.

"Is this the actual version of the truth or the Daily Mail of the truth?"

Both.

Hate crime has always been a bullshit term defined simply by whether the alledged victim perceives the alledged crime was motivated by hate. No actual proof is necessary and anyone with a basic grasp of psychology would see the flaws the idea that anyone could truly know the motivation for an individual crime. Furthermore, the police encourage people to report it but asking framing questions.

This leads to massive rises in reported alledged incidents which help fuel left wing hysteria.

The reality is that the police have confirmed it's just a category and not a new offence you could be prosecuted for.

I saw a Facebook post awhile back about racists cops in America!, fair play I thought, there's plenty out there so I'll have a read and a watch.

Basically black woman stopped by racist cop for speeding just a tad, she's in tears live Facebooking the whole drama (while driving

), hes a bully, he's a racist, he threatens her being "dragged out of the car" and "hauled into prison" for nothing, not only all this but it happened in Virginia where they used to "lynch" "us", and it all looked pretty awful.

Of course the truth was it was all fake news as most is on Facebook.

Damage done, EVERYBODY knows all cops in America are red neck racists and she goes about her day just fine.

The fact that people believe US police have a racism problem probably isn't due to a single video. It's probably more to do with all the evidence that says they treat not-white people differently.

Well that's half the problem, you've got a few bad police officers and then you've got shit loads of egg heads making nonsense up which unfortunately the left believe every single case because they have an agenda of being dicks unlike the police that don't have an agenda but just have a few dicks

Makes me wonder if I'm that unattractive or were they all gay

No it's because certain women in our society have descided that it's now wrong and mysoginistic

taking all of the joys of life away.

Maybe all women should have to dress head to toe the same as arabs do and then that would fix the whole thing

Looking at someone should be enough to convey interest without resorting to whistling. And one can always strike up a conversation if one wants.

I don’t find it dehumanising to be wolf whistled at (though sadly hasn’t happened to me in years). If anything I find it quite the opposite. If I’m whistled at, i see it that the man finds me sexually attractive. Now I get that some women don’t want random men expressing that publically, which is a point to be considered. But I can’t accept that I’m not be treated like a human being because a man is pubically expressing that he finds me sexy. He wouldn’t be whistling at me if I wasn’t human would he? And I certainly don’t think he’d be whistling at me if he hated me!

Just wondering if any of the people on here who are against wolf whistling have ever fabbed a pic on here. If so did they ask that person if it's ok to fab that pic. End of the day fabbing a pic is just like a vertual whistle.

Except if you don't want a fab, you can turn the option off, so it's not really similar at all. And a swingers website is not the same environment as walking down the street.

Really????

Some of the posts on this thread are unbelievable....

If a wolf whistle is as bad as your day gets.. then I’d consider that a pretty good day.

Being whistled at can hardly be a hate/sexual crime... you have the freedom (for now at least) to choose whether or not you acknowledge it.

The key point being you have a choice ...

If a bird in the tree starts singing when you walk past, would you start screaming “lock him up!”

The most worrying aspect of this, as it blurs the lines for sexual conduct... then people stop reporting the serious stuff.

If someone touches you, follows you etc ... that’s a completely different ball park.

A wolf whistle is not sinister... and carries as much weight as you give it!

Makes me feel so uncomfortable being whistled at - but then again, if I’m whistled at, they usually also shout something about with it.

Hated it even more when I was younger and it’s awful seeing my 15 year old sister hate it too. We were at a family party one night and while waiting for our taxi, a bunch of (sober) guys started whistling at her and shouting to the point she was in tears.

Men also whistle and shout at my 11 year old sister - she hasn’t even left primary school yet!

Yes others find it flattering but I don’t.

Difficult situation. Some women find it misogynistic, an act of hate, dehumanising and objectifying (I think those are all the words that have been used). But other women find it flattering, fun, and bit of harmless banter and find it a shame that it’s no longer allowed. What is the right thing to do when there are 2 extremes of views for women for the same act.

I can see how some people would, some people find it intimidating to leave their house or eat with a fork that someone else has touched. The question should be whether a reasonable person would find it intimidating...

I think it's a bit extreme, wolf whistling is pathetic, crude and boorish, the act of men trying to big themselves up to their peers, but it's hardly a hate crime, that title should be reserved for more serious behaviour.

You find blokes who like to wolf whistle and engage in consensual wolf whistling.

I can't see the point of swimming costumes and would prefer to always go nude at swimming pools and beaches. However, I realise I am in a minority in that respect and can only go nude in situations where others have explicitly agreed that is OK.

In this context its completely subjective. In my experience most women find that uncomfortable /upsetting/intimidating.

That's the reason it's become socially unacceptable.

As a lawyer, do you see any issues with offences that are completely subjective?

Who said it should be an offence?

Anyway, even if it were, you are confusing two meanings of. "subjectivity". I am talking about whether an objective act is subjectively upsetting.

So the police are there to run around recording what people find upsetting now?

Unsolicited groping of someones arse is a criminal offence because most people would be subjectively upset by it.

Most people aren't upset by wolf whistling. Most people don't even have the words objectification and misogny in their daily vocabulary.

Most crimes are crimes because they are acts that most people find subjectively unacceptable. Murder is a crime because most people have a subjective feeling that they would prefer not to to be killed.

The issue is how strongly people have to dislike an act before it becomes a crime. As it happens I don't think wolf whistling passes that threshold. I think social pressure has done a pretty good job on that.

As you think it's perfectly harmless and not at all upsetting, I assume you wolf whistle women on a regular basis.

Do you?

"Makes me feel so uncomfortable being whistled at - but then again, if I’m whistled at, they usually also shout something about with it.

Men also whistle and shout at my 11 year old sister - she hasn’t even left primary school yet!

Yes others find it flattering but I don’t.

Indeed. It astonishes me that some people can't see how it can seem really intimidating.

You don’t think women find it intimidating when someone wolf whistles!? I’d imagine that it has something to do with the fact that you’re a guy.

I had a guy whistle at me. I ignored it. He followed me into a shop and got aggressive because I’d ignored him. This isn’t an isolated incident. It happens all the time.

Exactly.

It’s quite scary when you read about women being punched in the face or even shot because they’ve ignored a wolf whistle. "

And women think making wolf whistling illegal will stop that, it won't

That’s awful... it’s one of those things that should be reported but you’re probably too shocked at the time!

I don't know how to whistle and i have zero interest in picking up women anyway. I go to swingers clubs when the mood takes us that way. I also don't train dogs to give Nazi salutes. I just don't think either are matters the police should be wasting their time on it.

I don’t think the majority do. I’m explaining the reasons why some women find it intimidating. In an ideal world, I think most women hope that men have enough common sense to just not do it.

No, I’m asking you why you don’t think women might find wolf whistling intimidating.

I think men and women should find crazy people intimidating. That man clearly had something wrong with him. He probably broke into someone's house later that day to feed his drug habit.

I'd wager that ~90% of wolf whistling happens from builders who aren't remotely close to the woman and couldnt possibly be considered a threat by any reasonable person. It's low brow i grant you, but there has to be room in the world for low brow people.

"It’s about dehumanisation and unwanted sexualisation. One person has no right to sexualise you without your consent or to make sexual demands of you without your agreement.

You get all that, from a whistle?

Haha - nice little dig, there.

I agree, there does. However, it’s not only the stereotypical construction workers that do it. Hopefully you can now see why some women find it intimidating.
