My sympathy goes out to all the women who...

[LaFemme]

Same feeling here.

Oh and by the way...

<---looks at LaFemme walking down the street, lifts his hardhat, straightens up to stick chest out, raises eyebrows, smiles and then promptly whistles, whhheeee whewwwww yelling out from the construction site, "whaddya say there, sexy lady!"

Well I am on the ladder yelling HEY CHICKIE BABY YOU WANT I SHOULD HAMMER YOU;-)

And here's the difference. Mr. P's comment to me made me smile....the other one made me cringe.

Men that act this way bring everyone down. Random, arbitrary, public objectification of women that is directed personally and sexually is disgusting and degrades not only the women it targets, but the men who perpetrate it.

Men that act like this deserve to be called out publicly as assholes and humiliated. When I see it, I do. I fucking hate men that do this. They make me look bad.

They retard equality. And it's just fucking impolite.

I've always found that the worst situations are the ones involving men that are significantly older than me. This shit started when I was barely 13, before I even needed a bra. Guys old enough to be a father or even grandfather will stare at young women with no compunction. It always horrifies me to think that these men have daughters, nieces, grand-daughters (and all the friends, sporting events and dance recitals that go with it) that they're potentially looking at in the same way.

Oh I have seen pervs like that. Makes me want to facepalm. Now I am guiltier than most of being a perv, but sneak-peaking is just a little more tasteful than the "zombie gaze".

I've been zombie gazed and to this day it makes me feel like I walked on to the set of "Invasion of the body snatchers".

I like that zombie gaze term. :smile:



When put into a sexually confrontational situation, the most unfortunate thing to me is that I often feel as though I can't voice my distaste without making things worse. If a catcall is harassing, it's not like I can very well crane my neck and shout back without making myself look like the irate baffoon/bitch. It's bad enough to get the unwanted attention once, even worse to draw a second dose correcting it.

 

[poultrygeist]

I sympathize especially if the things that are said are in front of children or towards young women. That's bad taste no matter how you slice it. It sucks that it puts so many women on the defensive when men are distasteful like that. Maybe it's my nature, but I'd be more than happy to help out by setting his ass straight if I saw that. There's no excuse for bad taste and manners. Believe it or not, I've never catcalled probably because if it ever offended someone I'd feel like shit and likely fall all over myself trying to apologize.

 

[MercyfulFate]

I was thoroughly harassed when I was 15 by a guy I worked with. He would constantly tell me how good of a blowjob he could give me, how bad he wanted me, every goddamn day. Mind you, he was like 30, I was 15.

Even told my boss about it, he did nothing. So yeah, I do know how women feel.

is soooo much fun to mess with'em.

they seem vexed by living breathing women without fold-out lines trisecting their torso. :tongue1:

Is it creepy if I go around staring at their wombs?

Using my x-ray vision of course.

hrm... *ponders* does Xray vision expose the peeped ladies to radiation?

cuz, yeah.. giving someone tumors is considered poor manners.

This might be a culture thing. Noone does this in Norway. A female exhange student from Italy said she was offended that norwegians was so rude, her reasoning was that noone had whistled on her in a week while she was walking down the street. How rude

To the original poster, I’m sorry that you are getting harassed by gay men, however, please be aware that sexual harassment isn't a one-way street. Heterosexuals also harass gays, through gay bashing, "corrective" rape of lesbians, religious bashing, offensive T-shirts http://www.lpsg.org/261272-gay-bashing-t-shirts.html, etc.

I've had women stare at my crouch, rub my shoulders, and feel all over my head and chest without my permission. Had it been a guy doing that to a woman, he would have been arrested, convicted, and placed on the sexual offender list.

The good part about hetero men being sexually harassed by gay men (not the original poster) is that, once they experience it, hetero men will be less likely to harass women.

I don't follow the logic in your last paragraph at all. Some, like the OP, might go 'shit, that's what it feels like', but I doubt the majority would. A lot of men, especially young men, when confronted with a situation like that would, without thinking, just go off a try to 'assert their masculinity' elsewhere - perhaps by doing the same thing to a woman. (note: 'assert their masculinity' is in inverted commas because I don't believe a gay guy coming on to another guy, unpleasantly or otherwise, is any kind of an attack on his masculinity - but some men do, unfortunately.

I'm sorry a bad thing happened to you, WillyLong - but there is no 'good thing' about sexual harassment, no good thing of any kind. The fact that the victims of a certain type of harassment have something very broadly in common with some people who hurt you does not make them deserving victims. That's a horrible thought.

Same look when they play polka machines...reason why Polka machines have so many flashing lights is to attract moths.

Eh, it's not all peaches and cream for women in Norway, bub. Maybe they won't get as many cat calls, but they also won't get any high paying executive positions because corporate sexism is rampant there. Just sayin'.

Part of me wants to toss your quote back in your face:

"Don't you fucking DARE tell anyone how to feel about this shit! "

But I won't. Instead I'll just say your assumption that the majority of the straight men who get harassed by gay men would be less sympathetic to women, is just that, an assumption. My assumption is the exact opposite. Only time will tell who's assumption is correct.

[dolfette]

what i think will happen:

the straight men who have enough grey cells to create friction would take it as an eye opener and be more polite to women they lust after. the straight men who are knuckle dragging, mouth breathing morons with velcro fastening shoes will see it as further proof that fucking queers need a good slap, never relate it to their own harassing behaviour, and carry on believing the bitches should take it as a compliment.

 

[B_crackoff]

get harassed by often in the middle of the street (or wherever) by men. Often times, when I go out, I get crude comments thrown my way by homosexuals. It's not necessarily offending, but it makes me feel uncomfortable (not because I am homophobic, it's just extremely awkward). So yes, my sympathies go to those of you who deal with that petty shit on a day-to-day basis.

Dude, this ain't a criticism, but you must look, dress, or act gay, or hang around a gay scene - accept the attention, or change one of the aforementioned characteristics - if you truly don't like it!

Don't you get cat calls from women too - it's not like they don't do it, & come up & give guys unwanted attention. I even had that in front of the GF (!!!)on Fri - good girl tho - at least she'd bought me a drink too,a double at that, but it all went a bit Pete Tong when she showed me her tats!

Whatever you're doing, you're delivering the goods to them. Clearly you need to be thinking on how you can deliver the same impact to the girls! You can't change everyone else, but you can always change the position you put yourself into....
