This trick is telling us, "Hey ladies - catcalls are flattering! Deal with it"

Not only is she saying then men should be able to objectify women "hard hats need something to look at while they’re on their lunch break" but that our egos, that are apparently solely based on the opinion of men, specifically men with "mystique and machismo of manly construction workers".

I hope she never has a daughter. Or a son for that matter...

I'm going to do everyone a favor and skip reading that one.

A friend of mine posted this article and I saw the headline and I didn't even read it. I feel like it's something Anne coulter would say to get clicks and controversy. I'm not falling for the trap!

That is my first thought, my boss actually turned me on to the article. If nothing else it has spawned some poignant replies on Buzzfeed and Slate that are worth a read/education to young anti-feminists.

I don't want to read this, and I would like to add that my dad is an amazing construction worker so when people use that as an example it makes me mad!

One time a guy said, "wow, nice legs young lady." I actually laughed out loud because I'm 5'3" and am 90% torso. I was pretty psyched that someone liked them! He also added young lady so he was trying to be PC with his catcall

I came back from a run in college and told my bf at the time that two gardeners said I was hot in Spanish. They said I was too 'flaca'. He told me that meant I was too skinny not too smokin hot.

Catcall fail

Also I was once cat called by a midget. A little person! Seriously. He said, "hey baby good things come in small packages!" And grabbed his junk. I'm not even sure it was a catcall since it was more an advertisement, but it was traumatizing all the same.

I heckle back. I've said some incredibly offensive things to men who have done this in public to me.
