This thread is so silly. Listen, I went through something similiar myself having this problem. It didn't really matter what I wore, the hootin' and hollering followed me everywhere I went. I'm not trying to flatter myself- I am just your regular cute girl pretty much. The solution is to leave the neighborhood and go elsewhere. My attitude was that I'm too good for that sh*t, I deserve better than that. Then these same douchebags turn around and wonder why their neighborhood is poor. Maybe if they acted like civilized human beings as opposed to animals they'd see a bit more prosperity!
I wonder how these lesbians would feel if it was women doing the catcalling?
To the OP,
Why are you walking around in your bed clothes?
Consider it is your sense of entitlement that is the problem.
Appparently, in the neighborhood you live, and frankly most NYC neighborhoods, it is NOT the norm to walk around in pajamas. The problem is outsiders wanting to act and conduct themselves in a manner contrary to the neighborhood norm, and now they are upset about the reaction they receive.
Duh!
One Babe's compliment is a Lesbian's insult.
Next thing, the Lesbians will form themselves into a voting block, then manuever the city council to pass an ordinance with fine banning catcalling. I give it 5 years, and another minority group will have imposed itself upon the majority. Such is the death of Democracy and a free society, but I diverge.
Back to the topic, so what the OP and others want, I suppose, is to be un-noticed, anonymous. Not exactly contrary to the sex, but certainly contrary to feminity and womanhood.
That's strange..I am looking for a bar or club where I don't have women/bar flies trying to shake men down for drinks. Everytime I go out I have these leeches and career bar flies begging for drinks...it's annoying and I am not there as an ATM machine.
It is true however that men catcall in this city..and it's something in general women have to tolerate sometimes...moreso in certain areas.
I have personally witnessed Transplant (code word, white) young woman, jogging in Bed-Stuy (at an hour they shouldn't be out and about). They have on either skin tight leggings, shorts with long exposed legs, and T-shirt w/o BRA!
They go running through the streets with bouncing **** and rolling asses as if it is alright!! Then get upset if they receive responses. These women are acting in a ridiculously entitled manner, as if there will be no eventual consequences.
Question, don't these people notice that black and spanish girls don't conduct themselves in such a manner, unless they want and/or can handle the response??
I guarantee, no middle class black/spanish women go for coffe in their PAJAMAS!
****
These threads are so indicative of how naive people can be. I think these women come from places where street life is nonexistant, move to NYC because of the 'energy' and street life, then get upset about the street life.
Park Avenue! t then you still have to deal with all the panhandlers! LOL! I don't think there is such a place in NYC. You will have to move back to suburbia for a catcall free zone.
Leaving your home in pajamas is very low class, no matter where you are from. I remember I took out the garbage once in a pair of cotton pajamas in NYC, being a little too comfortable and lazy. Mind you this is just to throw a bag of garbage on the side of a brownstone walkup. The neighbors looked at me strangely and I never did it again.
I don't think her perception of herself is so relevant here, and while I'm not a native NY'er, I spent all my summers here growing up, and NYC has an alarmingly high number of those types of guys. Walking down Queens Blvd., around every corner was another dude "hollering", whistling, or expressing their desire to perform certain actions on my lady friends, female relatives, and so on. My younger sister was once getting harassed by these two guys on the bus for an entire hour (she was five years old at the time!!).
