[QUOTE="Matlock, post: 6768309, member: 4732"] Thanks. Yeah, it's a mixture of truth and hyperbole. There are certainly women out exercising, to claim there arent is just idiotic. On the other hand, I have been that teenager being cat called and it undoubtedly impacted where I walked and how I behaved. I was shouted at on a pretty much daily basis from the ages of 15 to 17 by the same guy. I put massive effort into changing my routes,my clothes, etc in order to stop it and it made me feel incredibly vulnerable if I had to walk around town on my own. To be fair, I met the guy as an adult in a social setting and he made a point of apologising for his behaviour, which cant have been easy for him. I lived beside a building site when I was 19, in a house with 5 other girls, and every time we walked out our front door while the building works were ongoing we would be commented upon. It would be idiotic to pretend that that stuff doesnt happen either. So no, not all men, not even most men. But enough men for most women to have experiences of feeling unsafe that they can call to mind easily. [/QUOTE]
