Is it because nobody's ever followed it up with a physical boundary violation so you're not primed for the threat, or because ego dissolution takes the ability to feel fear with it?

The times I've been afraid on the street weren't due to catcalling - just regular old stalking or something. Nobody's ever told me I was hot and then like, grabbed me or something. I think I do feel a lot more cautious if the streets are deserted, though.

Can you unpack why you think you experience this differently from so many other women?
-
Not really? I mean I have some theories. It might be location and time - maybe I tend to walk in more crowded areas during the day. It might be some random nuances of my appearance or attitude. It might be that I'm less likely to feel threatened in general.

I find that intriguing. I always assumed that whenever people catcalled it was because they knew there wasn't a ghost of a chance of any type of social interaction. Some sort of vocalized sulking or something.

I remember when a guy would whistle at a girl and she would take it as a compliment and smile while walking on. Nowdays they all seem to take it as an assault or a personal encroachment to their "space." Granted, this was without any approach or physical contact.
