minus-squareRoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoTbh, they catcall teenage girls far, far more than they catcall women. And yes, it happens all the time when you’re young enough.
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·2 months agoAs a man I can’t say much, but I have never seen it done. There might be some geographical differences.
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·2 months agoOr perhaps it’s because you aren’t the target for catcalling?
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·2 months agoTrue, but in my 40+ years I’d expect to be a bystander at least once. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just interested where.
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 months agoEverywhere. It happens everywhere. It’s very easy to miss what women go through on a regular basis when you’re a man tbh.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·2 months ago It’s very easy to miss what women go through on a regular basis when you’re a man tbh. but ULTRA surprising and VERY ego inflating when it does happen, but probably only so if you’re a man. lol
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·2 months agoEw no. It’s demeaning and humiliating.
minus-squareeldavi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoit definitely depends on the person; i’m a man and i thought it was flattering af the few times it happened to me.
minus-squarevelma@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·2 months agoWe shouldn’t be encouraging catcalling ffs Genuine compliments should though.
minus-squareRandom_Character_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI might have been on the other end then.
