Street Harassment

THIS. SOOO THIS. I agree 100%. Bullies are really the weak ones with insecurities. Confident people are too focused on being successful to belittle others.

My whole family thinks I'm irrational for this fear. I don't get that. They act like I'm obsessed with it when they tease me about MY fear constantly. Then they get annoyed when I express any concern about a strange car. It's just frustrating considering I see it as a highly legitimate concern.

They should take your concerns seriously. I do wonder if they just want to help you feel at ease by not letting the bullies condition you to constantly feel afraid. If you're overwhelmed by fear because of them, they hold power over you that they shouldn't.

It sounds bad. Have you considered contacting the police on the matter? Harassment is illegal and they could be arrested if they keep it up. You could possibly also get a restraining order against them.

I wish I could say cat-calling isn't done much anymore, but sadly it does.

Why do people do it? I can't imagine why anyone would enjoy being cat-called.

Honestly, I can't even imagine why anyone would enjoy doing the cat-calling. How dull must your mind be to find it at all amusing? Aside from the ethical stuff, it's so lame. If four dudes in a car randomly pull up behind me yelling, it's not like I'm a wimp for trying to leave that situation. It's also not like it's very "cool/impressive" to do when you're safe in a car and with a big group. I guess it all boils down to being a bully.

You know what they say about people with big horns...
