~ The deeply worrying thing about catcalling is that the catcaller must know that their target isn't going to turn around and fall in to their arms pleading : Oh dear, my please have sex with me here and now.
A lot of the time they know that. Often they don't do it for that, someone who shouts : Nice tits from a van isn't trying to date you.
They are trying to humiliate you, reinforce their dominance over you ; it's an exercise of male power.
It's a way of communicating : I can say and do whatever I want to you, no matter how inappropriate or how uncomfortable it makes you feel, and you can't do anything about it.
Catcalling is not a compliment, it's a threat. ~
