But it's not just that I think men cat call that much.

It's that and a few other videos I saw that happened to have hour long gaps between each catcall.

That is what I meant by not making judgments about a group you are not a member of, and I say this with absolutely no hostility.
You don't know fully about the experiences of women because you aren't one. Just like I don't know fully about the experiences of men because I am not one. Why would you jump to calling it a falsehood instead of just listening and considering what people are saying? Things can be very different than they appear outwardly. I ask you to just consider this.

It does happen often. If you don't do it or do not see it often, great. Good for you. But it does happen. And it can feel really humiliating to some. It is something that can be perceived as humiliation or even aggression, and it often does not feel good.

You are right. I don't know the full experience of being a women, and I never will. But however I called it a falsehood because I had no choice but to be superficial. I had no background information on this women or the song so I had to develop the most likely situations. And I also understand things can be very different. I feel the same sometimes.

I know it does happen. It's bad. It depends where, why, and how. But you are right it does happen. I'm just saying that it's the bad men who do it to all women.

And for I know, I was probably wrong. But I don't know. I never got an opinion or judgment from a women on this topic besides online like people like Sh0e0nHead.

I grew up around alot of women, but that's still not an excuse. Maybe even in Queens, New York or Smithtown, Long Island people don't catcall but those are the only places I've stayed.

So I will now gladly take your criticism and thoughts on the subject.
