Amanda Holden - wolf whistles

Speechless ... just don't know what to post!

I'm not going to share my opinion of her, as that's not appropriate, but why oh why did she have to say this!

If you read the comments it's heartbreaking, throwback to the 1970s.

Cheers Amanda!

When my teenage daughter is being yelled at by some builders, I'll explain it's ok because Amanda fucking Holden doesn't mind.

Let's see if she doesn't mind so much when it's her teenagers!

At least she's not saying that everyone should find wolf whistling acceptable. She's just happy to tell us that her self esteem comes from sexist men appreciating her appearance. Which is sad for her, but not something that surprises me.

'‘I still want to get wolf whistles in my 70s, and I don’t care how sexist that is. I want a builder to give me a little “oi, oi” when I walk past. I want to be tooted at by men or women when I’m walking the dog!’'

One woman with deep seated issues that mean she has a desperate need for male attention shouldn't have any impact on how men act. I think most builders have a more sophisticated understanding of the issues these days, really.

Bit of difference between being yelled at and a whistle.
The first one I wouldn't like at all, and doubt many would - the second one I wouldn't care.
Although nowadays I'd assume they were just taking the piss 😁

We’ll, she’s never been the type to not like attention has she? It’s hardly surprising.

She just sounds silly and old fashioned IMO.

achillestoes · 30/06/2022 09:59

I really don’t. It’s part of the reason I’m overweight, actually. I prefer being ignored.

Thicker than a submarine door.

Nice one Amanda...now go and have your hair and make up done love and kindly shut up.

Mennex · 30/06/2022 10:34

Shes always struck me as being extremely damaged for some reason. Not that that's any excuse for this kind of BS, but I find it kind of sad that she's eked out a successful career, is rich and yet still cares, desperately, about what randoms on a building site think about how she looks. She's not going to find getting old easy is she?

I must be stuck in a timewarp too, I reminisce the honking horns I occasionally got as a silly mini skirted teenager!

I don't mind a bit of harmless flirtation. But then I'm fully aware I've been lucky enough to never have had proper male harassment, having said that last year some creep was sending me the odd text.

A wolf whistle and nothing more would be ok. I walked past Amanda Holden in the street last year btw.

RufusthefIoraImissingreindeer · 30/06/2022 11:21

My dad was firmly on the wolf whistle equals compliment side

I had a few chats with him about it, and a few months ago he gave me a lecture on how lots of women do not like being wolf whistled at and that men shouldn't do it

He'd obviously completely forgotten I'd originally told him 😀

He does read the daily mail so I've no doubt he'll tell me again this weekend 😀

Provenceinthesummer · 30/06/2022 11:23

She has always been desperate.
you would think she could afford the therapy to explore her attention seeking, at her age it’s just embarrassing and highlights a lack of development and maturity. It seems deeper with her than just being vacuous and superficial.

Exactly. Her girls are of an age when pervy comments start hitting home. One thing for a desperate for attention woman who has spent her life being judged by her appearance and knows that all that beckons for her is a slot on Loose Women to claim that she enjoys the attention, quite another when it’s a teen who is having her breasts and bum judged and is reading or hearing comments on what sad old men would like to do to her body.

Amanda, do stop being quite so self obsessed, comments like that make you part of the problem , try being part of the solution instead. Maybe you would like to go to Ilford this Saturday and help to walk Zara Aleena home.

Oh we can't have "Old fashioned!" can We ??

Seriously you Women do nothing for other Women .

Not all of us are Feminista Thanks

PoseyFlump · 30/06/2022 11:55

I still remember the days when 24 year old Amanda married 42 year old Les Dennis and then she cheated on him with Neil Morrisey. Still, it got her where she wanted to be, didn't it.

Why does this not surprise me.
The song “You’re so Vain” springs to mind.

You think it's acceptable for grown men to catcall or whistle at teenagers?

restedbutexhausted · 30/06/2022 12:02

@Trinity65 you don't want equal rights between sexes? Confused

onlyhalfagreenegg · 30/06/2022 12:07

Builders do not wolf whistle because they think women might like it! They do it to impress their mates.

ClinkeyMonkey · 30/06/2022 12:11

The Heart radio Breakfast presenter added: ‘I’m not one of those women that goes, “Ooh, I’m in my 50s now, I had better not wear a knee boot, or a thigh boot or a shocking-pink heel”.’

No wonder she gets so much attention if she's limping around in one boot, eh?
