It's not just NYC though, this kind of weak-willed, weak-minded liberal BS has taken over everywhere. If someone says something you don't like, take to the Internet and whine and cry about how mean everyone is. It's really, really sad how pathetic people are these days. For women who claim to be strong and self-empowered, they sure do break down when someone says something mean, don't they? :roll:

or in this case, something nice!
 
Yeah I cat call. When I call my cat I go "Kitty kitty kitty kitty" really fast..wait what was the question?

Yes. Don't try to downplay when you have already made an attempt to level it.

Since it's level, why would I need to? Proportion was your point, not mine. That's evasive to say the least. As if to suggest that, since women are less prone to catcalling, it's somehow less 'offensive'.

You gotta watch those double standards.

it's a man thing.. we're hardwired to attract/cat call/shout out/ make ourselves known to women..

Tasteful cat calls only here..a single whistle is enough.

No it's not.

I am a 6'1" 200+pound guy who loves weightlifting, football, V8 musclecars and lovely ladies (among other things)...and it definitely is NOT hardwired into me.

One whistles to attract a dog, not a respectable woman. Godspeed with that.
 
None of the poll options fit me...Whether or not I mind or if it bothers me depends on the guy doing it (hot or not) and how he does it...funny, sexy, crude, etc. If he's got a good line, then he doesnt have to be hot!

it comes from the men seeing the woman as attractive or beautiful...

If he says it doesnt, it's a reflection of his feelings....not all men.
 
It's degrading to the cat caller's dignity as it is to the one being barked at.

If you want to act like an animal, go to the rainforest. If you want to act like a civilized human being, show some self-respect and not scare the women folk.

But according to a lot of feminist rhetoric, if a man speaks to you at all, it must be bad because it's a man. This absurd man-hating nonsense is rampant.
 
I think the poll numbers pretty much speak for themselves. :)

No joke. I won't name names, but I actually had one of the more hardline feminists on here tell me that I was guilty of "sexual harassment" once, just because - in the past - I admitted to approaching a woman I didn't personally know, but thought was superficially attractive, with quasi sexual intent.

I even explained the context to her - I was out with my friends bar hopping, saw a gorgeous girl with her friends standing on the street doing the same thing we were, politely introduced myself, complimented her appearance, and asked for her number. I ultimately got rejected (hardly my smoothest moment, if we're being honest lol ), but I didn't make an ass out of myself over it. I simply thanked her for her time and politely excused myself.

It didn't make any difference as far as the feminist was concerned. She still told me I was a sexist pig for simply approaching, and said I was guilty of "oppressing the wimminz."

It honestly seems like you just can't win with them, sometimes. :screwy

I tell you, the Good Reverend gets better "Cat calls" than that!

The other day I witnessed something at work. A woman (who I do not know) was walking to the building in front of me and someone she knew started saying hello from about 20 yards away. As he approached he told her how great she looked after having a baby, saying her shape was as nice as ever. I had a feeling she felt awkward about it, and as she let me into the building, she muttered to me "I need to take a shower."

I don't blame her. Do you, or do you think he was being nice while she was over-sensitive?

And the ironies of all ironies, it appears that you have some sort of issue with women.

I don't see anything wrong with what you did there and how you handled it.
 
None of the answers are really accurate for me. I don't think women in general love it, though some probably do. I don't think women who don't like it are necessarily ugly or jealous, though some probably are. I do mind if my friends do it, because it's impolite. But other people doing it doesn't cause me any shame.

Mainly, I think it's impolite, but unless it crosses over the line into stalking or harassment (which it does a couple times in the video), it's not worth getting worked up about.
 
I think cat calling is degrading, disgusting and far from any form of acceptable social behavior. Men who do that deserve more slaps to their face or stilettos to the groin.

One thing I find fascinating about DP polls is that aside from the odd lulz vote, people are consistently honest when voting.

I'm dubious about her being a feminist. Feminism simply means wanting to be treated equally as men. Any woman who takes it beyond that is...something else.

You asked? How dare you. You should carry a resume and your salary history around with you at the very least, and to be perfectly honest, you should simply ask for a mailing address so you can forward it in advance of an advance. That way, you can be ahead of yourself.

Yeeeaaaa... No comment. Lol

Needless to say, however, you'd probably laugh your ass off for saying that if I told you who it was.

I'm not saying people can't go a little nutty with it, but technically...

Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women.[1][2] This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women

So "feminists" striving for something that isn't even related to achieving equality (like, say,criticizing you for approaching and speaking to a woman you're attracted to) isn't feminism.
