I used to get whistled at -- back in the 70s. Once in the early 80s a guy leaned out of a passing car and hollered, "You are beautiful!" as I was at a gas station filling up my ancient Ford Maverick.
These are cool things -- lovely moments of "validation" if you want to look at it that way. I just figured it was nice the guys liked me and would say so. I've never understood why women wouldn't like this obvious confirmation of their attractiveness.

Trudy, I have to say....I am not worthy!!! I have been reding your stuff, and you are very talented and right on the money.
I think most normal women feel flattered by the whistle. I certainly do. I am not, however, willing to put myself out trying to get one.
About this article, this is right up there with the toilet issue. Women want to be taken seriously, then they go and do stuff like this. And I am sorry, wearing designer shoes is not a need, it is a want. Food is a need. Warm clothes in the winter is a need. Designer shoes? Nope.
Women are hard on women, men are pretty excepting. If you want wolf whistles, then you may go the extra mile and do the girl things that get you the results you want. However in everyday life there is no actual need to wear painful things. Notice men don't play those games? Men wear comfortable shoes. You guys have the common sense to know that if all men wear comfortable shoes, then women won't notice what men wear. If all women wore Merrells (the most comfortable shoe on the planet), then all would be right in the world. But no, they must contort themselves into too small leather stillettoes. Why?
Here is the answer...
They CHOOSE to.
Let me say this again...
Women CHOOSE to wear them.

Back before Jen stuffed me with biscuts I used to get whistled at occasionally when I was riding (biking outfits are pretty revealing). I got outright propositioned when I was changing a tire once... and I can't imagine a guy ever NOT enjoying getting that sort of attention. I don't claim to understand women but as long as the attention is not overly agressive (or rude) I can't imagine why it would be seen as objectionable... UNLESS the person had an axe to grind.
I see it as just another manifestation of "least common denominator" social policy. The only things that are deemed acceptable anymore are things that are accepted by the least common denominator. Men and women with hair trigger sensibilities pitch bloody fits about ANYTHING that they think isn't the way they want it, and society forces everyone down to their infantile level. It about time someone started to tell them to GET OVER IT! I see it as a calling. :)

It hasnt happened very often, but there have been a few times when I was standing on a street corner and some ladies would say, "Nice butt!" to me. *I* certainly wasnt offended. Unless someone seems malicious in their comments I cannot see how someone could be offended by positive remarks.

Never really minded whistling, though that is sort of unusual. More usual is commentary, which one of these days I'll put into a list because most of it is amusing. Occasionally annoying [ex. "slut!"], but generally not too bad. Anyway, I don't dress particularly to get attention or to shun it, generally you'll find 'out on the town' with whatever clothes I'd wear at home.
Related to this, one doesn't need particular shoes to get this attention, just be the only person on the street in skimpy clothing with below freezing temperatures and 5 inches of snow on the ground.
I don't think my boyfriend has ever gotten whistled at, had a couple of girls grab his ass at the last concert and one magically appeared in the men's room half-dressed, but not too much recently. That I've heard of, anyway. ;)

Yeah that's right! Come on ladies, belly up to the trough!(not you Trudy, Jen, and any of our other allies that I may have left out). Or should I say "bottom up" to the trough. One trough can accomodate 15 of you and it is only considered one toilet! The 15 of you can all sit and do #1 or #2 together and hold hands, look at yourselves in the mirror, talk about your feelings, and celebrate the fact that you are not standing in line!
Men constantly stand next to each other shoulder-to-shoulder at these troughs and pull out their junk and do what needs to be done. While I don't particularly enjoy this type of setup, the fact is that IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ENJOYABLE!!!
Any one know where to buy a pink trough?
