Question:
Does it ever work when guys yell at girls from their cars??
Does a girl ever turn around after being hollered after and say: "Pull over"?
Don't you feel silly yelling crassly out of a car window at a girl?

There is nothing attractive about such behavior and yet it inevitably happens to me when I am walking down the street. And it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm in a city, a rural area, a college town or whether I am wearing jeans, a skirt and tights, shorts. The guys yell "woo" or "hot stuff" or "holla at me" from their windows and this is not counting that times that indiscernible grunts and groans are aimed in my general direction from moving vehicles. My girl friends experience similar situations. I have even had men pull up to the curb and ask if I need a ride somewhere. And I can't help but wonder: Does this ever work?
And, then again, who told them this behavior was acceptable? Is this passed down from man to man in efforts to get them noticed/laid more often? In actuality not only does it make them look rather foolish, it is emphasizing a culture in which women are treated as nothing but sexual and aesthetic objects, in which women are treated in a demeaning fashion, and in which men are the pursuers and women are some sort of prey to be tracked and caught. It seems to me that in a society that is supposed to be moving forward and in favor of a changing gender dynamic, that we would no longer treat women as prey or as diminutive.

Tell me about!!! It is so lame!
ReplyDeleteA close friend once said, "well if men are the hunters and women are the prey-- let's say a deer-- have they ever considered that deer can run over cars and people?"
