I hope you take the same kind of stance when a random guy is wolf-whistled at or hollered at(Oi,Oi etc) by a woman or a group of women. It obviously happens.

Like I've said I personally wouldn't complain about wolf-whistling alone, seems too petty imo. But as I've asked, I wonder if you are taking an equal stance on this issue.


it doesn't matter which sex it's aimed at, it's wrong.

However. It's not something I'd ever dream of getting the police involved with. Not unless it was part of a larger harassment issue.


Do you agree with women who choose to wear the burka and who subsequently suffer abuse?


Abusing anyone for what they are wearing is absolutely wrong. Whether that be a burka or a miniskirt (except a city shirt. I reserve the right to chuck abuse at my fella when he's in a city shirt).

I'm a bit mixed on the burka itself. Im all for the freedom to wear what the fuck you want, as long as it's not forced on you by controlling cunts. And anything that lets you leave the house without brushing your hair or getting out of your PJs is fine by me!

The day will come when anyone wearing a burka here will have it ripped from them.

That's what I hope as well but it doesn't explain why people generally seem to get far more animated or passionate about the potential unfairness of criminalising wolf whistling but are content to remain silent of the problem of actual harassment (of varying levels).

That doesn't make much sense.

Army officers don't assault women, do they?

No, it isn't.

Young people now are the most tolerant, open minded and inclusive generation I've come across in my lifetime.

I know that it's a bit of a stretch to make that comparison but I think that it's valid. I've heard Muslim women say that they wear some sort of veil or hair covering cloth (similar to orthodox Jews, Christians, Hilda Ogden and loads of women in the 70's IIRC) through choice rather than belief. Can't be arsed? Chuck on the burka, embrace and normalise this stuff, integration at it's best! :mrgreen:

You've got to be a bit of a cock to wolf whistle a stranger, let's be honest. Even if a woman is secretly flattered by it, she probably still thinks the bloke is a cock. I doubt many wedding stories start with "We first met when he wolf whistled me in the street..."

I think people like to talk at length about things they see as ridiculous and over-the-top. But many people will just keep it short and merely just use a choice word or two, to describe people who are found to have done something that they see as being well out of order.

Honestly, I'd never have made the comparison myself, but once you mention it I can see it. I think my main issue with the burka is that it's an extension of the oppression and lack of rights women have in various Muslim countries. Although in the west I do believe the majority of women wear is by choice, and I'm totally behind a big "Fuck you" to anyone telling you not to wear something by wearing it more :gigglesnshit:
