  • But there is no fault.

  • kinda invites it.

  • Not really her fault. As a guy, I wish guys wouldn't do that anymore

    • Good boy

    • @Shamiah02 wait, boy?

    • Yup👀

  • I don't think it is anybodys fault it just happens.

  • Other people's utterances are never your fault, strictly speaking.

    However, I don't like the way some women complain that they can't walk around in public dressed like a stripper without people reacting to it.

    I mean: Imagine if men did that. Imagine if men walked around dressed like Borat. Imagine if they dressed like a chippendale for school. That would be weird and in-your-face and inappropriate.

    Public spaces are shared. You can't just do whatever you want in them.

  • It isn’t her fault. How revealing were the clothes and what was said?

  • That's not means your fault but means you are looking sexy...

  • she should be proud

  • Nope

  • In a way, yes

  • my opinion but not her fault but she is look so hot maybe :)

  • No but I want to talk to her 😉

  • Probably yeah

  • The most common defense that men have against this issue is that catcalls are their way of “complimenting” a woman’s looks. Going up to a woman and telling her she’s beautiful is one thing, but shouting “damn!” “hey sexy!” or whistling and honking the car horn as a woman walks by is a different story. Catcalling can even get to the point of being dangerous if women decide defend themselves or ignore the cat-callers, because often they will get offend.

    What men need to understand is that catcalling is not cute, funny, or complimenting. It’s degrading, demeaning, and disgusting. It lets women know they are being objectified and looked at as nothing more than a piece of meat. It makes women feel as though they have no rights or values. Women are not dogs to be whistled at and they are not sexual objects. Women are more than their looks. Women have the right to be treated with as much respect and dignity when walking down the street as any man. Women deserve to feel safe.

  • her parents fault for letting her dress like that. now get off the fake account

  • No, the men ideally shouldn't be catcalling. However it will have been triggered by what she's whaering. My point the men shouldn't catcall but if the didn't some other men likely would.

    As men we struggle not to stare at cleavige does that mean you shouldn't display it no. It means we need to grow up and learn not to stare and hold normal conversation.

  • No. Although she's likely to draw more attention which increases it's likelihood.
    But neither is it the end of the world.

  • No it just means she has a hot body

  • Not really her fault but she has to expect it when wearing such clothes. She shouldn't wear revealing clothes in public if she doesn't want all the attention on her. Also, no one knows that she is only seventeen.

  • Yes, to a certain degree because guys have no idea how old she is, and when girls dress like that, they shouldn't be surprised when they get cat calls.
