The wolf whistle

[Franchi Matt]

Is it right what I'm hearing that the government are considering making the humble working mans wolf whistle illegal?

Me - I've been a big wolf whistler in the past, often received well by my intended targets, also during a west end show before the wheels fell off the world- we were encouraged to wolf wistle.

Personally I don't find it offensive, and would be stoked if some sort (onvs younger than myself) wolf whistled me... its an ice breaker, conversation starter, a cheeky tuneful wink.

It's a quicker way than shouting 'Wow you're a smasher' across the road like we used to do

Personally I think blokes wolf whistling at women are ****s. Not sure it has to be illegal but if you think it's okay, in my book, you're scum.

Don’t hold back just come out with it !.there’s so much wrong with this world to worry about apart from a whistle to a lovely lady who might or might not approve in my book . But then I find that a lot of lady’s like a compliment and even. Like a door Held open for them and a gentle pat on the bum as they walk through the opened door !! Or is it just the lady’s that I know ??

It won’t be too long before men will be afraid to look at, or speak to a woman. What a load of shite.

 

[TH4]

Too many people in this world and on here looking for something to be offended by.

The amount of times I have been called a bold, old, ****. Does it bother me, does it fcuk...........I AM a bold, old, ****!

But I could take offence to it, I don’t, but I could. However years ago I grew a pair of balls, and developed broad shoulders and thick skin.........FFS, as a society, we need to get a grip.

This is typical of todays social media society. The tiny minority becomes newsworthy and spoils it for the vast majority.

I'd happily be called a bald old ****. Except I'm not bald. But nevermind. I'm not

offended by wolf whistling. I just think that if you think it's acceptable to do that, you are a scummy ****. It's vile.

Can't we have a discussion about this without resorting to insults?

He did, then pinned her to the floor shouting "scum" in her face

Have you been following me?

I trust those dishing out wolf whistles would be similarly accommodating if it was their own wives or daughters who were the “intended targets”?

In my book - you'd never be in it come to think of it - going by your insulting comment we clealry move and have been brought up in vastly different circles...... yours being more of a square

Did I say it was acceptable, did I? I don’t ever, in my life recall wolf whistling..........But “scummy”! Oh, grow up pal.

 

[User00047]

Whether or not you might be offended by a wolf whistle depends upon your interpretation of it. Does it mean “Oi! Get yerr tits out luv!!”
Or does it mean “hey there, pretty lady”
