Going out in a club setting as a woman, there is a lot of risk. If you have too much to drink, you run the risk of being targeted and taken advantage of. If you wear high-heeled shoes, your feet might hurt after. The bathroom lines are extremely long, and sometimes you get separated from your friends.These are all things I can deal with it, but one thing I cannot deal with is cat calling.

This past weekend, I was waiting outside a bar with a large group of my friends who are boys and girls. As we were waiting, a guy walks by, staring at me up and down and taps me with his elbow and says, "let's go, you down?" I was visibly surprised and actually said "ew" out loud. Do guys actually think cat-calling works? Did this guy actually believe that I would go home with him after a wink and a nudge?

I know women are not the only victims of cat calling, but unfortunately, men are stigmatized to be the most common cat caller. Why do they feel the right to call out to others and make them feel uncomfortable?

I will never understand cat calling mostly because I do not think it is effective, so I just don't understand why men keep doing it. It makes women feel uncomfortable. I do not feel complimented as some men will argue to try to justify their actions. I just feel angry. Have some respect and stop treating women as objects.
