Wayhaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy bitchnet mumsnet at its best again!!!
Someone posts to have a quite little boast about being wolf whistled at by younger lads or called a MILF (i honestly used to think it was to do with wearing leather trousers and thought she was being unreasonable for having such bad taste!)and she is villified to the point where she is clearly upset.
In my past i have been wolf whistled at, and asked to get my tits out (im blessed in that department) and of course i feigned indignity but i bloody loved it!! Now i walk past building sites and i can hear the tumbleweed a gathering - i can promise you, i would rather be objectified than ignored!
WHAT is unfeminist about wanting to be sexy? and recognised as such? Or should we all be walking around in sack cloth?? Of course it is sexist to be seen only in that light, but come on ladies, surely there are men (i mean there must be!) that we think Phwoooaarrrr i wouldnt mind being stuck in the lift with him for the afternoon. I think i have been with a group of girls more than once and made comments like "nice arse" etc etc.
So long as comments are complimentary i say keep em coming! please, pretty please - go on, just to make me feel better.
Saying that there is a fine line between complimentary and offensive and it can depend on the tone of voice, group of lads etc. I have to say, i think if i were the OP i might have felt a little intimidated as i am visualising a group of hoodies on the street corner - but she is obviously confident and i think thats great. Yeah the peado comment was a bit off but we all say things we regret when we are backed into a corner.
I am not a blonde bimbo with nothing going on between my ears - i am an intelligent woman and have often been described as a bit of a militant feminist - fucking idiot bloke at work used to call me germaine - but everyone thought he was a tosser anyway (different issue). BUT what we seem to forget is, feminism is about CHOICE - and if a woman choses to look sexy why would she not want this recognised? OK, its a bit off if you are togged up in your woolly hat and scarf but if you look the part - take the credit fgs. The OP has nothing to be ashamed of and is rightfully chuffed - the rest of you need to get out of those winciet nighties, put the knitting down and GET YOUR TITS OUT FOR THE LADS!
