    Heh. I find money or education a poor indicator of what a man will do when he thinks no one is watching anyway.

    I can't actually think of a reason it would be anything but positive.

    Well I for one would hate to live in a neighborhood where it was considered acceptable behaviour, its the kind of thing I normally associate with uncouthness, when directed at a stranger. It would creep me out on a regular basis.

    Women shouldn't dress like sex-hungry sluts if they can't stand the cat-calls from ball-scratchin', joint-blazin' construction workers.

    Know what's interesting? Never in my life have I seen a conservatively dressed woman, no matter how good looking, the target of these calls and whistles. However, the instant somebody with a short skirt walks along, people start making these cat-calls.

    Moral of the story? If you don't want to be treated like a slut, then don't dress like one.

    Women who have a healthy sex drive love it.

    My point is, women who dress conservatively (interpret that however you like) do not get this type of treatment.

    My other point is, if you're a woman who dresses like a slut and complains about this treatment, then you're a hypocritical bitch and deserve whatever harassment you get from sleazy guys.

    Yes they do. Do you honestly believe that women who cover up do not get teased? I wore an abaya for almost 5 years ffs :bugeye:

    I don't know how things work in India, but for the rest of the world, women who dress conservatively don't have to put up with this type of sexual harassment (not "teasing", as you cleverly referred to it as).

    Look, I see it done all the time (usually first-hand, I might add). Some of my friends (not close friends, more like "hey, what's up?" friends) do this stuff constantly. Every time, I just laugh and look away in embarrassment, although I do notice that every woman who is a target of their calls dress similarly - short skirts, tank tops, etc.

    Make of it what you will.

    Men who think it is okay to target women with their proclivities are just so much dick.

    That doesn't happen in Canada. Women that dress like that if they are "teased". It is done in a jokingly manner because of how they are dressed compared to the norm here.

    I mean this isn't CAT CALLING.... You and Bells always have to take everything to the extreme.

    Its definitely cat calling, they are calling out how good looking they think the women look. And its not something thats restricted to Saudi Arabia, its just an example that the way you dress has nothing to do with it. The guy who whistled at me to get my attention and then flashed his dick in JFK was not too far from the morons in the video above. I bet the rate is not that different in Canada either. All three men who showed me their dicks were Caucasians.

    Yeah and they were probably laughing their asses off after they did it. You don't think you may have been the victim of a JOKE??? Because I can tell you in Canada, you would be if you were running around dressed like that.

    Ha, that's actually pretty funny. Not many people just pull out their dicks in public....especially together in a group.

    All in all, if someone cat-called me I would take it as a compliment.

    Not at all, I usually travel by myself, since most of my trips are impromptu; a few dicks here and there do not bother me overmuch.

    I never said it was MY sense of humour, but it is to some others. Listen I have heard
    men say when they see a woman dressed, with only their eyes showing.

    "It's a little early for Halloween Isn't it"

    I think you may have been the brunt of a joke. Do you really think they were so turned on by your head to toe black outfit that they felt the need to pull their dicks out?????

    I only wore the head to toe black outfit in Saudi Arabia while travelling and apart from a few cat calls, no I was never harassed.

    The dick pulling out stuff was when I was in my usual skirt or pants, chosen for travelling comfort and not sex appeal.
