Oh flap jacks are your ass? I thought they referred to your tits.

RoxyRollah · 08-07-2014, 03:09 AM

No! My tits are fine thank you!

You're welcome.

Thoughts? Are there times when a compliment/catcall can be an innocent compliment without offending you(regardless of attraction level)?

I honestly don't see this happen as often as it seems to be implied to happen.

For clarity: I think it's more with younger women and generally the ones who crave the attention.

As a college student and someone employed where the above is the majority of the female population, it's not uncommon at all.

The point of the question was to generate discussion because as you admit it does exist. The extent of it's existence is irrelevant to the conversation.

I imagine both incidents involve similar levels of douchiness, but if a girl unloads on me like that I'm going to be annoyed or at most pissed. Aside from that I'll just go about my day, possibly stewing in hurt pride and resentment, but otherwise unscathed. Catcalling has the potential to cause actual fear for one's safety. I'm not saying any guy who gives a boorish holler to a buxom damsel needs to be checked before he is wrecked, but it's still flirting with rape culture, even just a tad, so it's far more in need of careful consideration than just some innocuous douchebaggery. Personally I'm not going to say something random and unnuanced like that to a woman I've never met, anymore, even if only because such a difficult and delicate operation as hitting on a complete stranger would require much more skill and finesse than a "Hey, baby! You ever had your ******* licked by a fat man in an overcoat?!" I mean, come on fat guy in a construction hat, do you honestly think you're getting those digits with that?

Are you just implying that I'd except being sexually harrassed if my harrasser was cute?

this video has been making the rounds.

The only thing that I hate about it is the fake accent thing they are using. It is almost implying that only minorities and construction workers do this.

It is like they have never been to a college town or a place with a military base.

RoxyRollah · 08-09-2014, 06:34 AM

Its true, I hate a construction worker......

djchameleon · 08-09-2014, 06:36 AM

just one construction worker in particular?
