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.
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.
We shouldn't be encouraging catcalling ffs
Genuine compliments should though.
agreed; i'm definitely an edge case and shared my experience to counter the narrative that it's ALWAYS bad.
