Never been catcalled, but when I was 19 I was hitch-hiking from Portland to Redding and got picked up by a truck driver: "You're a big guy, is everything in proportion?"

I didnt think catcalls were this prevalent.

As a guy, I kind of laugh at others that do them and dont take them seriously.

I think it is a safe bet to say, of women, over the age of 18, 50% of them have been catcalled at some point.

And it doesn't surprise me that a large portion of women experienced their first incident while they were still in the "boys have cooties" phase.

I was about 12 or 13. Walking home from the school. School had let out for the summer but me and a friend volunteered to help the art teacher clean her classroom. Some older guys drove by cat calling. I cant remember exactly what they said. I was embarassed until they swerved off the road and hit a tree. Then I laughed.

You should have said no, can you help me carry it?
