Annoyed
Ireland had a wolf-whistling contest. Read here. As someone who has degrading things yelled out the window at her practically every day, I'm disgusted. Wolf-whistling is a symptom of a larger problem of disrespecting and devaluing women. I first learned about this on www.feministing.com. I am so sick of this bullshit. Yes, it's politically incorrect. Pointing that out doesn't make it ok to keep practicing it, or to make a competition out of it. We should be discouraging this ape-like behavior. Not rewarding it.

That's disgusting. Who does that, in this day and age?
ReplyDeleteI know! Though the tradition is alive and well here! Everyone from young kids to adults does it. I hate it....
