Wolf Whistling To Be Made Illegal!?
Have just heard on the news on the radio that they are trying to make it illegal for a man to wolf whistle at a woman!! Apparently its ‘against a woman’s human rights’. Don’t think I’ve ever heard anything so stupid in my life! I would blush and take it as a compliment. Your thoughts??

They should try enforcing the laws they have.
Just asked my daughter(bit if an exhibitionist if I'm honest) and she was not happy. She revels in attention still, even being pregnant and another baby in tow. I cant write on here exactly what she said but it was basically around ugly women not getting them.

We've had this discussion fairly recently a few times. Personally, I don't give a monkeys. A stranger's reaction is neither a compliment or an insult- but I can see the issue.
Wolf-whistlers neither know or care, how a recipient might feel. It's nothing personal, entirely about them.
The problem is, that doing it to a group of young women at a shopping centre, say, seems entirely harmless and slightly brainless... but to someone walking on her own, in the dark, it could seem more intimidating. I think it's the lack of care or consent that's the problem in general.

This whole strategy is not just about 'wolf whistles' - it's much more in depth than that.
By concentrating on one potentially trivial strand it's easy to lose sight of the whole issue.
