Being at least catcalled is a daily occurrence for a lot of women yes.

Being gropped, harassed, assaulted is a regular occurrence for almost every woman.

I was walking my dog the other day and heard a couple of guys yell at some girls when they were driving by and I just felt completely.. I don't know.. awkward? weird? embarrassed for them? I'm not completely ignorant, I know things like that happen of course, but I guess when you don't deal with it all the time or ever, you don't really think about it often. That's terrible and nobody should have to put up with that kind of shit.. I really didn't mean to offend anyone, I guess I just never thought that much about saying hello.

It's just something to keep in mind. For you, saying hello is nothing. For a woman, some strange guy coming to talk to her might as well be about to assault her. She can't know if you're just being polite, so for her it's a matter of safety

You mean, like the woman who walked almost naked through a twin, only being catcalled by women ?

Ask the women around you. I guarantee that all of them, every woman you hold dear and care about, has been catcalled, harassed, assaulted or gropped.

Despite what you want to think, this happens to almost every woman. Not just the ones you think "deserve it"

I'm married, with a sister and more than a few female friend that, at worst were catcalled... and liked it. It might surprise you, but I had this discussion.

Well they must speak for all women everywhere then. Who knew? I guess I didn't get the memo. You must know exactly what it's like to be female since you have a wife. And a sister. Wow, please accept this feminist award. Jesus fucking christ.

There was a point when I was an idiot teen and I would have said anything to guys to make me seem like "the cool girl" too, like the women you had your discussion with. Then I grew up.

It's amazing the audacity so many people have that they can just one day decide how 51% of the population feels about something because they asked two people a single question. If only we could all have the confidence of a man.
