I wonder if that asshat in the other catcalling thread who spent hours mansplaining about why we shouldn't be offended at catcalling is going to show up and eat crow.

they just really, really, REALLY wanted to give those girls a compliment. at all costs. true gentlemen, really.

cat-calling from a car needs to be outlawed. criminal offense. when you are driving, you should not be allowed to interact verbally with others on the street from your window. i live in philly and too many times i have been driving and blocked from my destination by some asshole stopped in the middle of the road…

Same here, and the older I get, even the friendly, polite compliments from strangers and intimates alike have started to twist me the wrong way. Perhaps because I feel the pressure to stay young and beautiful even as I come to realize that being young and beautiful isn't an accomplishment. Even when my boyfriend tells…

My nearly perfect spouse too often uses, "I guess" or "Could be" to statements I make. Not questions. Statements. I think it's just a verbal tick, but I've talked to him about it several tiems. It makes me feel like he thinks I have no knowledge about the subject I'm talking about, and it's usually something I have…

I can't answer for her, but I can say that these arugments always ALWAYS come down to some man acting like it is literally impossible to speak to a female stranger ever without referencing her looks. Honestly, I'm a introvert and shy, but I don't have a problem with all human interaction ever—but any dude who can't…

Why did you suddenly make the leap to "should I go to the police station" considering it's not relevant to the article? The woman in the article didn't run to the police, she had a conversation after the fact about how it made her uncomfortable. So in your scenario, it would be the equivalent of a gay dude hitting on…

It has happened. Multiple times. It happens weekly, if not daily. It happens to us all the time. It happened to me last night. You're demanding that women treat every catcaller as a harmless person even though we know they are not harmless as a class; you're declaring that women don't have the right to learn from…

Are you approached by other men 3-4 times a day, every day, since the time that you turned 11 years old? If not, you do not get to define another person's comfort level.

I'd feel extremely uncomfortable if an attractive man I did not know blurted out "you're beautiful" at the grocery store. And I have been hit on in the grocery store by an attractive man. He got to a not creepy distance from me, made a joke about the mysterious fruits, asked me if I know how to tell if something or…

When I was 16, my two best friends walked down the street after school to get our eyebrows done. Then we walked down the main road in our town to get some pizza. It was the spring, so people had their car windows down. We got a lot of comments - none of them from classmates, which would have been less creepy. All from…

Oh, jesus, I hate conversations like this, especially with my partner. (He hasn't done it in a very long time, fwiw).

Exactly! And nursing can be a very dangerous job especially in having to deal with patients who might attack you and the exposure to biohazardous materials. What are these people thinking with their 'women don't do dangerous work'? I once met a woman who had worked as a nurse in a hospital for the criminally insane.…

That's true tho, just because people over here like to dismiss an entire argument because somebody forgot a comma doesn't mean those people can't have good points.

"I don't need femisin because i like when my men are men, i was FURIOUS when my husband turned out to be a possum"

Damn. Guess we can all go home now.

But what culture exactly is appropriating? She's wearing things from various and wildly different cultures. It's not cultural appropriation if you wear clogs, a Viking hat and a Kimono. Its just wearing random stuff.

This was my favorite.

Goddam, can a black woman just 'channel' the fucking something of fucking Audrey Hepburn for once?
