Ladies Do you Consider men wolf whistling at you Sexual Harassment?

I can tell you it doesn't help when you are escorting a whole class of twelve year old schoolgirls to the swimming pool for a lesson.
And no, I was not delusional. It was for me and not the girls in their school uniforms because of the comments that went with the whistle.
They meant it as light banter but totally inappropriate.

A man who wanted to show his appreciation of a woman did a lot better by tipping his hat as he smiled and said "G'day". Do that three days in a row and the ice is broken for a gentle advance towards a conversation. If courtship is not on his mind, he would do better to say and do nothing. Young women do not need to be validated by men passing comment on their appearance. If men feel entitled to show approval, what's to stop them from expressing their negative evaluations? Who needs that every time you leave the house?
 
A shrill two note whistle - the first note higher than the second. It is designed to capture attention to the whistler and to the object of the whistle.
I chose the last verb carefully because the effect of it is to objectify a woman. It also used to be a way to determine whether or not a woman was "easy", depending on her response.
 
Glad to hear it, so am I. We ain't heavy.., he's our brother.... la la la la la la ....Let's just try to stay on the ground and not float away. :)
 
Nooooooo, I would never do that..... not me...... I didn't even know..:confused:....you poor widdal munchkin, ..... have you got Arnica gel? Works good..... also hot bath with epsum salts? Feel better soon.
 
When I was younger and occasionally got that treatment, I always felt uncomfortable and actually kind of nervous. Didn't happen often because I always made a point of avoiding streets where that was a possibility although once when I was waiting for a bus out in front of a pet shop where I'd gone to daydream over the puppies (I didn't know better when I was a teenager folks), I did have some guy ask me if I was 'working'. That was really unnerving.
