Do guys that cat-call women actually think that women like that stuff or is it that they are like bullies who take pleasure on heckling people to annoy them like in middle and high school?

    Somebody actually cat-calls women? Not just a stereotype from 80’s broadcasting?

    If they do, I’d imagine it’s a role they think they have to play for their peers. Do they do that when they are alone?

      Search up the 2014 short video 10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman to give you some insight into how pervasive (and, unfortunately, timeless) this behavior is.

        Ngl, it’s a bit disheartening to see how many men think catcalling just…doesn’t exist.

      Tbh, they catcall teenage girls far, far more than they catcall women. And yes, it happens all the time when you’re young enough.

        As a man I can’t say much, but I have never seen it done. There might be some geographical differences.

          Or perhaps it’s because you aren’t the target for catcalling?

            True, but in my 40+ years I’d expect to be a bystander at least once.

            Not saying it doesn’t happen, just interested where.

              Everywhere. It happens everywhere.

              It’s very easy to miss what women go through on a regular basis when you’re a man tbh.

                I might have been on the other end then.

                but ULTRA surprising and VERY ego inflating when it does happen, but probably only so if you’re a man. lol

                  Ew no. It’s demeaning and humiliating.

                    it definitely depends on the person; i’m a man and i thought it was flattering af the few times it happened to me.
