Some misunderstanding regarding the use of pronouns occurred here, and consequently a desire was expressed that this thread is to be cleaned.

Please proceed. :P

That's the usual reasoning around the issue, and also the primary reason why it is illegal. However, this just an interpretation taken out of thin air by men in power that feel threatened or disgusted. The truth is, it is catcalling that is aggressive while flashing typically is a passive behavior that is non-aggressive. IOW, we have criminalized the wrong behavior if we are concerned about aggression towards women. Not to mention all the domestic violence against women in relationships.


I don't believe either of them are "aggressive".

Exposing your penis in the street is a more extreme version of giving somebody "the finger."

Women are just plain more aesthetically pleasing. Boy parts are, well, grotesque. We are hairy creatures. We are not ordinarily the stuff of porn flicks. We are not the idealized smooth, slick, phallic structures of ancient times. Either you pee out of that thing or squirt baby juice which is messy for the girl on the receiving end. And, good grief, when you think about waste elimination through that thing, why WOULD a girl want one anywhere near her? Reproduction be darned, why?

While you take a young adult woman even with just a little bit of extra curves, a smooth-shaved camel toe--what's not to love? It doesn't take much for women, not REALLY. Men require too much effort to even make a difference, so it's best just to be gross. I know this. I have a bizarre bald pattern that makes me look like I have a greasy, crusty-old-man combover. And I can't convince anyone my hair just grows like that. What do I do? Once a month I get out the clippers, slap on a #2, and buzz it all clean. ANYTHING is an improvement. Either that or thousands on hair regrowth products that MIGHT work if I'm lucky. And I've been around long enough to know I'm never lucky.

Losing weight is tough, but I'm a 2-time master of the extended fast. I hate working out, but it had become a habit and part of my lifestyle.

You do your best.

Girls? Forget the makeup. Just take off your clothes and lay down right there... Because women of all shapes/sizes are beautiful. It's just the way it is. Accept it and move on.



I think this sums it up.

I believe it is a cultural thing. In ancient greek it was the other way around. The male body was considered the pinnacle of beauty.

I guess it can be aggressive that way. Catcalling on the other hand, is only aggressive if you're being paranoid. A lot of catcalling is just guys trying to imitate characters on TV. I used to think that is how guys are supposed to get dates.

Cat-calling is always rude and aggressive.

I get triggered when people say this. I think Cat-calling is a case by case thing. It's typically offensive based on when and how you do it, but if you are considered attractive to someone I think it's taken as just another method of flirting. One of those double standard things if you will.

Yep. And they were totally into pederasty, too.

Doesn't make it right.

What I mean by "cat-calling" is some dude screaming, "Nice tits!" when you walk by.

I know very few women who take that kind of thing as a compliment.

I remember two instances of a man flashing his genitals at me in a park - one, it was winter, around -10 C and the guy kind of jumped from behind the tree, wearing only a thin fabric coat and I only said "kinda cold, innit?" :D
Another time a young guy was on the bike with his trousers unzipped and his junk hanging out - he stopped near me, I glanced at his bits and said "erm, what time is it?" - he blushed (!?) and went past me on his bike without saying a word. I really wanted to know the time though!
I don't think these guys got the reactions they wanted from me :lol:

My nan once attacked a flasher with her umbrella :D She was coming back home from church and the perv was waiting in a nearby pine grove... like 50m from the church!

Your response was very good. Classic in fact - would have made a nice video clip!

Your "nan's" (gran? nanny?) response was funny too. Reminds me of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins in Lord of the Rings, elderly little hobbit going on the attack with her umbrella when provoked!

Of course. Both cat calling and flashing can be aggressive, but typically, none of them are. Both are indeed similar to flirting. It's just that in Western culture, we think that dating is the only valid way to pursue a relationship. It's so entrenched in our thinking so we use "dating" as a general term for all kinds of ways to get into relationships, regardless if there is any real dating or not.

There is no wrong or right in that area. It's all about attitudes that differ from culture to culture.

So you're perfectly ok with men abusing their positions of trust and authority to have sexual relationships with young boys? Interesting...
