Catcalling as been around for centuries. Girls all over the world have felt the unwanted presence of a man whistling seductively at them. This is harassment and must change. But what happens when it happens to men? If you think all guys would automatically enjoy the gesture, think again. And please note—there are a variety of reactions in this post. We are not endorsing any of them. We are simply giving a glimpse of what men think so we can better understand the world and figure out how to stop abuse and harassment of all kinds. We can’t change what we can’t see.
