Title: Things that rub me the wrong way: Catcalls

By Rachel Nabors of SubcultureOfOne.com

Tuna hisses at a man saying "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"

TUNA: "Hiss!"

MAN: "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"

PANEL 1

Rachel walks confidently in a black dress, heels, and carrying a purse. A guy whistles at her (musical note shown).

NARRATOR: I actually don't mind when boys whistle at me.

RACHEL: "I think it's sort of flattering, especially if I worked really hard to dress up."

PANEL 2

Rachel strikes a pose on a floral background, looking pleased.

RACHEL: "Wooh! I must look exceptionally fantastic today!"

NARRATOR: However...

PANEL 3

A sleazy-looking man under a tree makes demands at Rachel, who looks uncomfortable.

NARRATOR: When a male starts soliciting favors, that goes beyond appreciation.

MAN: "Take it off! Take it off!"

RACHEL: "This isn't a strip club!"

NARRATOR: It's outright aggression.

It’s depressing how many thirteen-year-old girls get hooted and honked at according to the comments on this comic when it was posted on gURL.com.

    I can’t believe people whistle let alone solicit favors. I mean I would sometimes whistle to myself, but I would be totally embarrassed if someone actually heard me. If I actually told someone to take it off, I would fully expect to be “back handed.” Take comfort in the fact that those who do not know how to treat women are unlikely to really have loving relationships. That being said, those are not the droids you’re looking for.
