I have a 14 year old daughter who has always been very tall for her age. The cat calling started when she was 10.
It’s insane to me that cat calling is still a thing at any age.
Don’t underestimate the older generation. The sad part is ive been saying that for decades now and thought it would die with them, somehow a lot of these gross things don’t seem to die.
They don’t die because it’s not just the older generation. Sadly, new gross assholes appear every day.
My sister was like that. We’d always call back “She’s 10 you pedophile”. Shuts people up quite quickly when the call back is done as loud and public as the cat calls.
Not even waiting until you’ve become a woman.
Man… back in the day my cousin saw a Hanson music video and he just “Wow, that drummer is going to be so hot when she grows up.”
I had to inform him they are the Hanson brothers.
Then only many years later I thought back about this and realised how gross it was. He was about 30 at the time.
*edit, my spelling mistakes.
I had an uncle walk through the house while a Britney Spears music video was playing. The one where her pants are super low. He said to me, his 13 year old niece, “her pants should go lower” I vomit at the idea recalling the look he gave me, like I was one of his buddies at work or something. Ugh
Lower than your balls hang, old man?
People should really call out things like this, I was too young at the time but at least I got to see my cousin’s face when he realised he had been perving over a teen boy instead of a girl.
Your reaction is 100% correct, but also the Hanson brothers are pretty physically attractive now. Their opinions are about as disgusting as your cousin’s, though.
Also, when my friends found out that I had a crush on the youngest one (he’s a couple of years older than I am), they made fun of me and called me gay. I told them they were jealous cuz I was gonna marry a celebrity. Not that I was anywhere near it, but glad I dodged that bullet!
I’m still puking from the guy at my first job that said he couldn’t wait for the olsen twins to turn 18 and slobbering about ‘what he’d do to them’
At an 11 year old!? Are pedos normalised where she comes from!?
This is not uncommon for most girls to go through
My wife has talked about how it started happening to her around the same age…
edit: I think it’s quite common everywhere unfortunately
One day when I was a middle school classroom teacher the girls started telling stories about getting catcalled. The youngest one could remember was being 8 and getting hollered at by construction workers while riding her bike to school.
Yes, I’m afraid she comes from this planet.
Not uncommon in Europe for one.
You must be living in different Europe.
I don’t think it happens to boys Felix. Not everyone is going to have the same experiences, or know about them.
I have two little sisters. This hasn’t happened.
Or they don’t feel comfortable talking to you about it.
Why make their world more difficult by trying to argue that “This hasn’t happened” to others though? Like why are you trying to use the non-reporting status of your two little sisters in this comment right now?
I hope it hasn’t happened to them. But there are literally multiple users above (and a comic) saying it does happen… You’re choosing to be like:
*“I have two little sisters. This hasn’t happened.”
As if we’re all gonna go “oh this is the REAL proof!” It’s like, hey I’m glad, but why try to deny that it doesn’t happen? How does that particular comment aid anyone?
Imagine if there was a thread asking for help, because OP just got a dog… And you’re like “My auntie and uncle don’t have a dog”
Like so?? Fuckin - don’t comment then. Like, hey good - but totally irrelevant to the topic.
“Oh my mother, sister, auntie, female friend, and workmates have never brought this up to me. It hasn’t happened.”
Whoopty doo mother fucker? Oh the topic is computers?
“My pet rabbit doesn’t have a computer. Computers don’t exist for him.”
Who the fuck cares? Did you think we were saying it’s an absolute? Or that we’re looking to interview 4 billion plus women on earth and tick off the has happened to, vs hasn’t happened to (according to you). Did you think that’s what we were doing?
What the fuck was the point of your comment? To deny sexism for others in the hopes your two little sisters have a harder time with it (or being believed) later in life?
Get on the right team dickhead. Take the L. Take all the downvotes you’re gonna get and shut the fuck up.

Pedos nowadays have their own country and everything. It’s called USA.
Instead of old men catcalling young girls we should normalize, young boys sweet along older women. Like:
“Damn Mrs. Anderson, the cookies you backed for you son, he shared them with us and they were deliscious.”
“Yeah, I beallt the spices in your kitchen are labelled and ordered.”
“You seem the kind of woman that always call consoles by their real name.”I don’t think cat calling is by old men, on the contrary, it’s overwhelmingly young men or boys.
It’s all of the ages.
This also grosses me out a decent amount.
