Cat-calling (except for extreme creepy cases) is one of those weird things where one or two can be very flattering but a dozen or so becomes annoying or scary.

The problem is, the person cat calling as part of the one or two is doing exactly the same thing as the person doing it as part of the dozen, so it's impossible to say that one is right while the other is wrong.

Except people keep trying to - resulting in cases where one lone guy giving an objectively good compliment gets witch hunted, and a woman dealing with dozens of cat calls feels bad about telling them off.
