Misogyny

[VincentHanna]

When women say get get unwanted advances what they really mean is that the guy doing the advances is just not attractive enough for them

Wow.

I'm glad you feel informed enough to speak for all women and know what they really mean

I suppose No means Yes in your eyes?

 

[G-MAN2004]

LOL


I predict the future, me.


"MAN ARRESTED FOR OFFERING TO BUY WOMAN DRINK. WOMAN SAYS UNSOLICITED ADVANCES ARE SEXIST"



Wolf whistling. Seriously. Some people need to get a life, wolf whistling is positive attention. Isn't that what feminazis want?

This is the future.

Ask him about consent, I dare you. *hands can of GD worms*

 

[Burnsy2023]

See its all very arbitrary as my mrs loves getting wolf whistled at

I would imagine that your Mrs is in a minority.

You've basically started a thread in the hopes of having your already negative views of a forum reinforced

I'm a bit conflicted on the whole thing.

Wolf whistling or otherwise calling out to women is not something I'd do, and I've always thought it to be pretty unpleasant.

My view was somewhat challenged after I listened to an interesting podcast episode (Love + Radio - An Old Lion, or a Lover's Lute), where a woman started talking to a guy who had called her out in the street. He was in his '50s, and she later sat down for an interview with him. Was an interesting and quite charismatic guy, and he reckoned that of every 10 women he called out to, he would get talking to half, and would get the number of one or two of those. And he would smash it in 9 out of 10 cases once he got the number. I don't tend to think he was exaggerating by all that much.

The interviewer was trying to point out that his cat calling was bad - but how on earth can you really say it is when he had such a strike rate, both in striking up conversation and, sometimes, progressing to sex?

I suppose there's a difference, though, in that much of the cat calling I've seen here in the UK (the podcast was USA) is not really used as a conversation starter, and is more of a show of force - showing off to mates, or otherwise proving masculinity by some overt 'alpha' display.

If this isn't the popcorn thread of the week I don't know what is, I'd offer to share but I would hate to trigger a feminist with an unwanted popcorn offering advance.

Feminists should buy their own popcorn.

What about misandry?

Or wait.... is it a double standards thing again?

Utter moronism.

I once had a lovely lady grab me by my junk in a club and when she said "come with me" she didn't like my answer of "I already have"

 

[datalol-jack]

I think this is all a cleaver ruse to trigger all the MRA-bros on the forums. Don't fall for it, be alpha.

Too soon...

So will all the girls that go "whit woo" or whatever it is on facebook at each others' profile pics be arrested?

Yes, it does, and therefore circumventing it isn't particularly clever. Gilly.

 

[Dunny774]

I understand the concept of this law, as others have pointed out. Applying it will be a waste of time especially if its done outside of the internet.

In terms of wolf whistle example in public, I can imagine it makes people very uncomfortable and if repeated whistles especially to the same person should be sorted out. (JALE TIME FOR ALL DEM WHISTLERSSS)

So 50% talked to him, 10-20% gave him their number and 90% of those slept with him.

Is that a good strike rate? What about the 88 out of 100 women that didn't sleep with him?

No, because it's not an offence most of the time, which is where this whole thing falls down. Even if it was a criminal offence, it's not like there are the resources to investigate it.

 

[Diddums]

No, and the fact that you use the term "feminazi" and then think Wolf whistling is positive attention that women should be grateful for, tells me all I need to know about you.

Fan dabby doody. If you could then add me to your ignore list so I don't have to feel like I might hurt your feelings that'd be great

 

[Kuros]

Once again a sweeping bit of legislation that is so obscure that almost anything can be put under it...

I agree with the sentiment at times, just depends on how far the police take it.

Dammit, I was hoping my Facebook was going to be lovey dovey cringe free

To be honest, I can't think of many (non-sex-oriented) activities where getting 12 out of 100 somewhat attractive women to sleep with you is anything other than a success.
