The two sides of cat calling

[ShadowofVashj]

Firstly, constantly calling anyone who disagrees with you a trump supporter looks poorly on you, I'd stop.

Secondly, none of this proves that trump doing that will legitimize bad behavior. It won't make the majority of humans suddenly okay with it, and it won;t change any laws on harassment or assault. So yeah, again, your ideas are bad.

The video I posted is the exact example that proves Trump's behavior can legitimize poor behavior. The proof is in the pudding. He spoke poorly about Mexicans, ergo small children start chanting "Build a wall" towards their minority peers. WITH SEEING THAT EXAMPLE (not alternative facts, the video is there) all of the sudden it is SUCH A STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION that if he starts talking about grabbing pussy that there won't be some men out there who start harassing women or acting badly?

I guess I'm going to have to get ready for more of this over the next four (please god not 8) years.

If you wanna go with the literal sense, go for it. Could've been anything to have caused the parent to blurt out a curse word, but whatever... my point was the person I was quoting would've branded that parent a "bad" parent for having done so in front of a kid regardless of it not having been done intentionally, in accordance with his/her logic.

Cursing when in pain is something of a conditioned response though...and that response can be suppressed. If Catcalling has become a conditioned response...well...that itself is an issue but it can also be suppressed.

I wouldn't say it automatically makes you a bad person...but it is bad behaviour.

Is this an American thing?

Haven't really seen it in Canada thankfully.

glad you finally agree with me that you're a lost cause

How cute, resorting to personal attacks now.

Is having sexual relations outside of your marriage legitimised?

Again, intentional vs unintentional. A person could say "wow" in a low voice to themselves [private speech] when someone they find attractive passes by -- would that indirect "wow" be considered catcalling if the person heard it?

I'm not resorting to a personal attack, I'm telling the truth. You're giving arguments equating to people accidentally murdering people and swearing in front of their children when absolutely none of that has to do with somebody being socially inept and/or dumb enough to "forcefully" say something to a woman.

Whatever. Keep being the narrow minded person that you are.

okay, and you keep being inept

No it wouldn't be catcalling...since catcalling is done specifically to get the attention of the person...doesn't mean it's good behaviour either.

Speak for yourself, jumping to conclusions -- I've not catcalled once in my life, I personally find it stupid. But God forbid there are people whom see points from all sides, unlike you. Least I can differentiate what it means to do something deliberate for attention [such as the case of the video], and accidentally due to a brain fart [such as the case of the OP]. Now whether he did it directly or indirectly I don't know, but it sounds like he typically doesn't ("out of me before my brain can filter it").

But I'm not here to defend the OP [would seem like I am, just using him as an example], I was disputing over your first post in this thread where such a thing "isn't even possible"... it's very much possible when done indirectly, resulting being audible for the other to have heard it which might've been considered catcalling to them.

Yes, if it is unintentional then it means the person was careless and/or stupid enough to allow it to become an conditioned response.
They cannot even blame their parents because by the time they become intersted in such things they are more than old enough to think for themselves.

If britisch tourists are any indication all it would take is a bottle of beer plastic cup half full with Heineken :P.

Men that do that will be punished. Because, guess what? Thats already happened. He was immediately jailed and charged.

Sorry, you are wrong.
