Wow. I think I need to do my part and cat call a few women today, I wouldn't want to be left behind by the majority.
Women dress a certain way for the attention of who they consider the "right" men. If these particular men are paying them attention all is right with the world "Ooh look at so and so checking me out." I should know because I and many other men have been in such a position.
As long as women behave passively in the mating game we men will always be the aggressors. In fact, I've been told by a few women in my life who I ended up not getting involved with, that I wasn't aggressive enough. Hilarious isn't it? When you try to behave in a way you're told is more respectful you end up getting dumped for a lack of initiative by women who literally told you they weren't ready yet. Fortunately I learned to ignore most of what they say and push things to a reasonable degree and haven't had any more problems of this kind.
Women employ all sorts of tactics to save face so they don't have to take responsibility for their actions. The world isn't going to change because you don't like the "wrong" men staring at your skintight clothing. You can't pick and choose who to allow the honor of checking you out.
Sad thing is, when you get old, you're going to miss this kind of attention.
Being aggressive doesn't mean acting like a douchebag
Not sure why folks believe in such extremes.
By the way, staring and acting like an entitled prick are two different things. I take it the guys asking said questions are doing more than staring.
Apparently you didn't finish reading the rest of what I said. You know the part where I said and guilty of believing women believe that women are deserving of the harassment they receive
Who knew clothing warrants being violated (groped or even raped) solely because of what a woman wears
I don't understand the issue here, as all the women need to do in the UK is threaten to contact the police. A person harassing or intimidating someone in the UK can be arrested under the Public Order Act and there are plenty of police in most major cities. In London you can approach British Transport Police/Metropolitan Police/City of London Police Officers, Police Community Support Workers, Tube (subway) Workers, Bus Drivers, even shop security or doorman etc if you feel intimidated, threatened or harassed by an individual.
I reside in a city/borough where street sexual harassment is a part of life (thankfully, I will be moving very soon). When I encounter sexual harassers, I usually cross the street, if the street harassment becomes too much to deal with. I never confront the man, out of fear that he will behave violently.
Yesterday, Good Morning America aired a segment about a woman who actually confronts her street sexual harassers, to explain why they should cease engaging in such disrespectful behavior (she has a youtube page, I'll include the videos below).
I wonder why respectful/nice guys rarely (if ever) intervene when they witness street sexual harassers in action?
You tilted your hand when you asked why other men don't get involved.
Why do certain men act like ***holes?
Because lots of women, women like you, love ***holes!
After all, these are real men who know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it.
By pretending to be offended, you're just playing your part in this retarded melodrama.
By pretending that this activity is rampant and a danger to your physical well-being, you are making yourself the star.
You're a poser.
The truth is you can't stop thinking about these guys.
Their obnoxious extroversion is a huge turn on for you, though you would never admit it.
You like men who do what they like and this is especially true, key really, if others disapprove of what they are doing and they do it anyway.
To you, disagreeableness is the same as dominance and you are looking for a man who dominates other men.
This is how ignorant herd animals like cows and pigs decide which males to ****.
As for your question, (I wonder why respectful/nice guys rarely (if ever) intervene when they witness street sexual harassers in action?) the real question you are asking is how can I get men to fight over me?

Where does this type of thing happen? I've never once seen a women sexually harassed on the street where I live.
Also, if it's just words being said why would the woman find it difficult to verbally defend herself? Is the guy supposed to turn into a barbarian because words are being hurled?
Most guys couldn't care less if it's their wives being spoken to "inappropriately" let alone a strange woman down the street
My suggestion would be to speak up for yourself and not expect someone else to do it for you.
