Why a woman catcalling a man is not the same as a man catcalling a woman?

[VMisaMarshmallow]

Because apparently minelials don’t get it.

It’s gross when women slap a man’s butt or woolfwhistle or make comments on a guys body. But it’s not the same.

I’ve explained that sexual violence is men in women not women on men, I’ve explained class oppression, I’ve explained how a man walking home when a woman propositions him isn’t scared, or if he is it’s not because he’s a man. It’s not sinking in so help me with wording please, or links to (simple) articles?

Thanks. Not disputing that some women sexually abuse/harass males at times but that a woman say nice package doesn’t contain the threat that a man commenting similar does to us. I pointed out the equivilant to colour blindness also. If you think I’m wrong I’m happy to listen to that explanation also.

And your links posted aren’t looking at crimes of the similar types.

Female sex offenders are often treated much harsher than male ones for example, same goes for any crime where alcohol or drugs are involved. A general comparison of over all sentences just tell us that generally women commit lesser crimes than men. Which is true. The quote about women being in prison because of what a man did to her or made her do often proves true where as the same cannot be said the other way round.

It's not just millennials. I spent an evening trying to explain to an intelligent man in his 50s why women were obliged to be wary of men in order to survive (and hence needed sex-segregated spaces in certain situations). He could not see it. He considered this attitude to be rank sexism against men.

When do women ever cat call men?

I have never seen it, but MRAs claim it happens to them all the time. Women are just as bad as men donchaknow. I would think a few women behave like that, but nowhere near as many as some claim. I imagine its mostly very very drunk women, or people on hen nights and that (same thing generally )

I think such behaviour is unacceptable from anyone. But agree its nowhere near the same when women do it to men.

I think I might once upon a time have thought it was "just as bad". Then I was raped (because I had failed to understand that we aren't equal and I had to be wary...) and had it brought home to me what male violence is and what men are capable of.

And it's all about control and the balance and abuse of power. When women do it they are "punching up"... it's still bad and not fair on the individual man they pick on, but it's not the same.
