The thing is, maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like this is an American thing. Because a day never went by in LA where someone didn't catcall me, but I've had someone do that ONCE in London, in almost 9 months. It was a taxi driver who did the honking thing. And I'm not even just speaking about London but the ten other cities I've visited in the UK (England and Scotland).
That's not to say though that the guys here are perfect gentlemen, I had to call the cops because some guy just grabbed my ass and then started telling me "suck my dick" over and over and then followed me home. But the general catcalling just doesn't seem to occur here, and it's not just me, as I've never seen guys do it to other women here either.
It makes me wonder if there's something in American culture that perpetuates it? Also, I can't find it but here was a really sad video of a guy defending these guys actions to two women on TV and basically saying if they were more attractive and wealthy we women would like it. Uhm, not it doesn't work that way, don't care how rich you are. I once had an escorting client ask me how to pick up a woman in public and I basically told him it doesn't happen. I want to be able to go outside and enjoy myself and get shit done, not have to deal with sexual advances from strangers.
