Im having trouble understanding your position. Women don't like being cat-called. Whatever the reason, whether or not you think it's valid, Women aren't looking for this kind of attention. So why go out of your way to bother someone who isnt interested in your advances? What exactly is your argument?
I don't know how you met your girlfriend or how your mother meet your father but your attitude on this issue suggests that maybe you met her and he met him by standing on the street corner making slurping noises.
Most of the guys in the video aren't even "cat-calling", so you're not making any sense whatsoever. Nobody's bowing down to this nonsense. You might tho, if you're too weak or afraid to speak to girls.

Let me start by saying that, yes, some of the men in the video were absolute creepers. However, some of the others spoke to her respectfully. I just don't understand how it's cat-calling when a man tells a woman "Hi" and asks how she's doing. For whoever said earlier that "there's underlying sexual tones when they say it", couldn't you say that about ANY man that approaches a woman he finds attractive? When a man approaches, he's usually interested in more than just a platonic relationship. I highly doubt that woman would ignore Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Channing Tatum or any other man that many women find attractive had they spoken to her the same way.

These days, you're an automatic cat-calling "creep" if you approach a woman who isn't attracted to you (as if you're supposed to know that without approaching her in the first place).
I've seen this happen in "nicer" neighborhoods such as in Midtown and all over the Flatiron District. Usually by the types of guys who do pull ups on scaffolding...
Now if she walked around a major city in Italy for 10 hours I wonder if she would get a lot of men following beckoning "Bella! Bella!"
This is BS. So basically, opening up your mouth and saying anything to a woman is harassment?
The guys said good morning or good evening, and kept it moving. Yeah, a few of them went over the top (Following her for 5 minutes, or insisting that she say thank you for the compliment), but that was the exception, not the rule.
These other videos are BS too. The other woman walked by a construction site, a guy said he thought she looked pretty, she said thank you, kept walking, and he left her alone. How is that harassment? Then in some other video, a young white woman walks by in a super-revealing outfit, and the video zooms in on a big black guy turning his head to look (keep in mind, he didn't say anything, or even move, literally his head just turned to look at her) like he's such a bad guy.
Heck, even in that video with "Jessica's Feminized World" or whatever, she's like "Oh, is that guy looking at my ass"? So what if he is? He didn't even say anything. And let's be real, like girls don't look at guys all the time.
Yeah, being followed or getting crazy sexual comments is obviously bad, but let's not pretend like all guys approaching women are like that.

Well, I highly doubt some posters on here would call these guys in Italy (like they've called the guys on the video) "street thugs."
