Hey guys, sorry to join your forum as a woman, but I'm looking for male opinions on street harassment. I'm a female journalist writing an article about catcalling, whistling at women, calling out to women in public, etc. I know that is not technically a PUA activity, but I've had an extremely hard time finding a guy to talk to who will admit to ever calling out to a woman in public. I need a quote for my article from the male perspective. And my article is due in two days.

I have plenty of male contacts, but either they've never approached/called out to a woman on the street like this, or they won't admit it. I already talked to plenty of women (and men) who think catcalling is horrible, disrespectful, and scary. But I know from internet articles that a lot of men think it's no big deal or think women should be okay with it. Since there are no public groups for what I'm looking for, I thought a PUA forum might be my best bet.

If you would be willing to answer a few questions on the phone or via email, please write to me at cityofroses (at) gmail. I'm actually interested in a different perspective so everyone in my article isn't saying the same thing, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could write to me. This is a totally serious request.

Here's a definition of what "street harassment" is referring to:
"3. Least severe: a) staring, b) whistling, c) all other comments men make to women that are unnecessary.
2. Moderately severe: a) sexual innuendoes, b) references to a woman’s gender or body that are not sexually explicit.
1. Severe: a) sexually explicit reference to a woman’s body or to sexual activities, b) profanities that are directed at a woman, c) physical acts such as following a woman, throwing things at her, or pinching or poking her."

Thanks,
Becky
