[QUOTE="CaptainSensible, post: 6976015, member: 34104"] I've seen guys pinch a womans arse and get a smack or eventually get to take her home, so in the first case you could call it harassment in the second we'd call it a rather crude chat up technique. And both definitions depend on the womans reaction, the guys motive in both cases may have been the same yet the outcomes are different. Discuss? I worked on a building site in London one summer in college, and yes we did whistle at a good looking girl if she walked by, it was half for a laugh and half so she'd turn around and you'd get a look at her again, some would turn around with a big smile on their face I'm guessing glad of the attention and some would just carry on walking probably not very happy. The intention of these actions is what matters, to state it couldn't be described as liking women and hence misogynistic is way over the top without looking at the motives in question. It's fine to point out women don't like this kind of attention and could you please lay off, that is a simple message rather resorting to the melodramatic like misogyny. Its not the word that offends its the misuse of the word. You've seen the effect it's had here with everyone laughing at him and basically missing the message completely, sometimes how you convey a message is just as important as the message. [/QUOTE]
