A wolf whistle in itself is harmless

To you, maybe. To a survivor of sexual assault, maybe not.

It's just stigmatised because of groups of bellends doing it in conjunction with sexist comments.

Normally this 'idiots spoiling it for the majority' argument involves there being some form of benefit to the thing. I don't really understand the benefit of wolf-whistling.

So if someone hums along to Doris Day whilst performing the vile act, we should ban her discography?

A quick look at the dictionary should sort you out.

noun
noun: wolf whistle; plural noun: wolf whistles

1.
a whistle with a rising and falling pitch, directed towards someone to express sexual attraction or admiration.

You said it was harmless. I was only coming back to that. I've even said above it wouldn't be a legislative priority for me.

Still none the wiser, even with the definition. Why do you need to express sexual attraction to someone in public?

That's like asking if it's necessary to compliment anybody surely?

Why does a wolf-whistle have to be sinister? It's like condemning someone because they say 'wow, you look great' because it could somehow lead to assault.

Groups of uneducated (or inebriated) blokes have made something as innocuous as a wolf-whistle to somehow be defined as a sexist act.

 

[alfredmizen]

no one gives a sh1t , its normally just acting up.

No one walks about pubs doing it.

Jesus

Yep.

 

[vegster]

Yep.

Stand down Alf, Macron wants to ban Wolf Whistles not Tin Whistles.

Although I can understand her response it is a risky, and illegal thing to do. Unofficially I'd say well done !

Was thinking of doing a counselling course of some kind... maybe Conflict Resolution or maybe helping those with anger management issues.

That doesn’t show they’d been ‘catcalling’ her at all , the bloke posting the video assumed that , they could have been arguing because one or the other cut them up etc and he resorted to winding her up playing the ‘calm down sweetheart/darling/love card

No mate , concentrate on improving YOUR situation (you haven’t whooshed me btw)

That WOULD improve my situation... Counselling costs about £80-£110 an hour. I'm still touched you care btw

 

[BadFish]

Total bollocks.

Perhaps you're immature and find it acceptable. And have immature mates who also find it acceptable.

Any bloke with half a brain who is on the pull should know that leering at women or wolf whistling at them will not make a woman find them attractive.

You mean it doesn't work??

Reminded me of this bit from Jerry Seinfeld

I have heard from many many women that this kind of shit, cat calling, wolf whistles etc etc makes them feel very uncomfortable. I have read many many articles by women who say that these acts make them feel uncomfortable (at the very least).

But now I am reading from some men on NSC that wolf whistling is okay. Now I just don't know what to think.

Men and woman are the same in 2017, totally equal didn't you know

This sort of thing doesn't bother men if it happens to them , so why are women being so precious about it ?

Do they expect special treatment as they are women?

Thought that sort of sexual discrimination went out years ago

Obviously not

I disagree with the premise of your post and respectfully suggest that you need to find out more about equality and sexual discrimination as you have vastly over simplified it.
