Walking on a sidewalk when I was much younger, I was catcalled by a couple of young white women in a bus. I didn't feel the need to demonize them. Any other desires I may or may not have felt were cancelled by my wife at my side. She still laughs about it.

Hey Paul. Thanks for sharing. Women do not feel safe when it happens to them. Can you understand that your experience as a man is not the same as a woman's experience?

Tbf I am a woman who's lived in a lot of cities and traveled all over the world and I almost never feel unsafe or threatened when catcalled.

Do you understand that not every woman feels that way? And we have very valid reasons why we don't?

Sure, but you were also saying "women" like we're all one homogeneous unit. *some* women feel threatened. Others don't. I just wanted to clarify you're not speaking for all of us.
