Speak for yourself!

 

[MattJ]

Recognise that.

Have had, "You don't have to hold the door open because I am a woman, you know".


"Actually, I held it open because I am a gentleman, and I thought you were a lady - my mistake".

My response was "It's called good manners. You should try it some time."

When I was a kid, it was a great game to wolf whistle at folk and then shout ‘ha, modest’ at them when they turned round.

I’ve never done it but will take it up if it’s made illegal, if only to find out how I would be prosecuted. I could be whistling at my dog or my wife or at another woman stood behind the offended one. Whistling at feminists in such circumstances could be quite good sport.

it would be interesting to see the age groups of people for and against?
if women feel uncomfortable with being ww's at should we even think we should carry on doing it?
i worked in construction in the early 2000's and never really saw it.
last year whilst working on a scaffold, the scaffolds sounded like deranged baboons howling at any women that passed. it was shocking, local scaffold company that i would never advise any one to use!
somethings i think are best left in the past

By coincidence this subject came up at the weekend dinner table, talking with my Mother in law (aged 85), partner (50) and youngest daughter (17)
Mother in law was of the opinion that it was a compliment and harmless in her day, to be expected if walking past a building site for example, wife felt whilst it was probably largely harmless, but what ever was the point? she certainly didn't see it as a compliment, just as "laddish" behaviour done to impress mates. Youngest daughter (who unsurprisingly gets it the most) thought it was pretty pathetic and ignores it, especially as it nearly always comes from a certain type of man (I wouldn't wish to offend anyone here by describing the type but certainly old enough to know better, especially considering the obvious age of the target). Wife and daughter have both been in scenarios where they felt deeply uncomfortable when it happened (walking along a residential street alone). All 3 hold gentlemanly behaviour like holding a door in the highest regard but would answer a pat on the bum with a swift slap round the face, followed up with loud public humiliation.
They'd love to know honest answers to a couple of questions for those that still do wolf whistle.

1. Do you wolf whistle at women when you are on your own? or with your partner? or only when with mates/male colleagues?
2. If you're genuinely paying a compliment to a woman, do you ww at a good looking man?
3. How would you feel (presuming heterosexuality) if you were walking alone and got WW at by a group of openly homosexual men?
4. Has a ww ever been a successful strategy in finding a partner?

Whilst I certainly don't buy into any extreme feminism any more than I do veganism, I can certainly see why women would be offended or feel threatened by WW's, seems to me to be something from a different age, like Carry On films or dragging women into a cave by their hair.

You do all know it's 2021 now don't you?

And……….Does that mean we all have to turn into a bunch of easily offended Snowflakes?

 

[steve sxs]

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.

You whistle a dog not a person, building sites you nearly always get one nob head who thinks its cool to whistle, in a perfect world you could put your foot on there and say whistle Now

No

It means that with a bit of thinking we can make sure our behaviour is respectful, intelligent and non-threatening.

This thread is fukkin' embarrassing and the forum owners should wake up to what a bunch of past it, has been old tossers looks like from the outside looking in.

Snowflakes? A whole bunch of you are still living your lives like you were 20 in 1960. Get real fellas, this shite wasn't on in the 80s.

@admin you need to get on top of this kind of stuff.

A bit of a laugh last night, coming out of a gate after successfully nobbling a fox, there coming along the lane was an exquisite young lady with her dog. I called her round the truck for which she thanked me whilst my young chap shut the gate. She said hi to him and he watched her for about 100 yds down the road. No WW but getting in the truck the comment was "I would" from him and "Looks like two ferrets fighting in a bag" from me. At least we are men who can appreciate a beautiful woman but our comments were unheard

Finding a woman attractive is perfectly natural , and perfectly acceptable. Wolf whistling is just low level sexual harassment , and has no place in a civilised society.

I wrote about this in the other wolf whistling thread. When I ran sites it was a sackable offence to wolf whistle at women. Its not the Wolf whistling that is the problem but the abuse that is shouted when the phuck wits get a reaction they don't like to there amorous whistling. After a couple of problems, one involving the police if they wolf whistled they were down the road. Many who work on construction sites are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

 

[Siggy]

I have to ask what do you hope to gain by wolf whistling? the gratitude of a woman for paying her a compliment? Dream on, she probably thinking something completely different. I was shocked to find out that my daughter can't go out for a run without getting what is effectively abuse.
Don't get me wrong, and as I have said on a previous thread, as Bruce Springsteen said, I appreciate the "girls in their summer clothes" - but in this day and age, I keep my thoughts to myself.
