It might actually get through to a few of the catcalling idiots.

Most of them have heads full of cement, unfortunately.

Playboy's next effort might relate catcalling to the number of "headaches" one's intimate partner gets after a whole day of putting up with it. I know I used to feel that way a lot when I lived in Boston and walked everywhere. It's draining, guys.

taught people how to have really great sex and how to turn on their partner. As it stands, it's fucking up people's heads so much they don't ever get enjoy the best of sex. It's all an illusion to sell you something.

in those desert religions was a good thing. Just think how different advertising would be if they had to sell the product instead of a collection of body parts next to it.

I suppose I could try talking to her as a person deserving of respect, but that would require social skills and takes so much time.

I look briefly at their faces. If they're looking at me, I smile pleasantly and continue on my way. If they're not, I don't react at all and continue on my way.

That's it.

Oh, yeah: I do the same for men I encounter who I don't know.
