Priti Patel intends to make acts of harassment in public such as wolf whistling a crime to protect women and girls. What do you think? Do you agree?

      It’s not just about wolf whistling it’s the whole idea that men can and have this ‘right’ to say and act as their wish. Funnily enough not every woman likes random men wolf-whistling and commenting on their body. It objectifies them. Its uncomfortable. It makes women feel scared to walk down the street. We all have to participate in making our community safe for each other. Most men who would wolf-whistle probably won’t like it if someone did that to their sister or mother. It’s these little thing which manifest into the bigger issue about men and boys mistreating and seeing women and girls as a lesser gender who need ‘protecting’ from men and boys just like them!

    Yes I agree! I’m tired of men feeling it’s their right to harass women and to define it as a compliment. I also know that some men never realised their behaviour can be harmful. Doesn’t that say a lot about how their view the world from their own self serving point of view. Maybe that’s one thing I would agree with Priti Patel!
