Writing for the Guardian, Jessica Valenti, feminist and mind-boggling hypocrite, called for the end of catcalling last year. Today, she published an article in which she said that she misses being catcalled.
The 2014 article was titled, "The end of hisses, whistles and stares: we need to walk the streets without fear." In it, Valenti concluded, "Whatever the method, something needs to be done. Because while street harassment is just one of many violations that American women endure, its prevalence is a clear message to women and men: there are no safe spaces for women. We need to be able to walk the street and simply be in public without fear."
Perhaps realizing the unbelievable hypocrisy, Valenti quickly changed the title of her new article to "One perk of older age? Fewer catcalls." Unfortunately for Valenti, on the internet things are not often forgotten:
She stunningly concludes her new article, "Being harassed on the street is not a compliment, and it surely has never felt like one. For most, if not all women, it can be scary and sometimes dangerous to deal with. But I can admit that - even as a seasoned feminist - sexism is a powerful enough force to still reside my head. Maybe by acknowledging as much I can begin to let it go."
TTIUWOP....
Personally I always find it kinda flattering...
Feminism, hypocritical? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Someone please explain to me why this woman should be considered sane.....
LOL..Be careful what you ask for(demand). Could it be she is not worthy?
I’ve never actually seen catcalling happen except on TV.
She looks like she could be entered into the Preakness.
White liberal feminists......truely the most miserable creatures one can encounter.
Wrong one way, but then wrong with the other also.
I’m so shocked a woman wrote that.
Hmmmmm...
As a guy, I am still waiting forlornly for my first catcall. *sniff* At least this woman still has a chance, however remote!
That’s for darn sure.
Old Chinese curse: May you get what you wish for.

Many celebs and athletes have had similar complaints, especially about photo takers and fans asking for autographs.
Then, when the photo takers stop taking photos and the autograph hounds stop asking for autographs, the celebs and athletes wonder where their glory went.
She is in no danger of a wolf-whistle from ME.
I know what you mean, no one ever catcalled me either. I did hear a couple of women snickering one day though. /s
Me either.
It’s Lt. Columbimbo in her raincoat.
So hisses, whistles and stares make her fearful?
She should go to any ROP country and see what happens. She won’t get hisses, whistles or stares.
She should ask Lara Logan what happens when a woman ventures into a herd of subhuman savages.
