One of the things i find so interesting about this whole topic is that you could state almost anything you want concerning either sex, wether it be double-standards, common practices, or the total oddities, and apply it to whatever is being discussed. There are so many variables in the human race that you can't really apply anything to anyone in general without knowing them, because it is all a biased reaction. Yes, it is commonplace for the current day american male to catcall, but this applies to men between the ages of 15-50, and only covers about 50% of them anyway. (making up the stats, just trying to state my point) I don't really like taking sides in this matter, because i think it is close-mided for me to hold common practice against someone who deserves respect. I try and be as sexist as I am racist, not at all.

On the other hand, as for the reason this was brought up, I do feel that those men who take matter too far, and are making derogatory comments in means of intimidation, probably out of spite for some action made against them by some woman in the past, are causing totally unnecessary strife. They are taking out their anger on all women, and unfortunately distressing people like poor mena here. As for these bastards, they should be treated like rapists in central america. (rape a woman there, and your D*@K gets turned into string cheese) I think that these people simply take their efforts too far either because they are simply doing it to cause distress, or they are the type who don't want to hear "no". They have made multiple attempts to catcall, and have failed in these attempts, so they continue in their endeavors, yet their efforts are corrupted with bitterness. Some guys like that might have had to deal with nothing but teases, who lead them on and leave them hanging, but i still dont think it justifies their actions. O well, nuff sed.
