Reminds me of a professor I had in college, a very droll old British fellow. He was telling a story about his daughter and how outraged she was by the catcalls, whistles and pinches she received from construction workers when she traveled to Italy.
“Then again...” he said in that typical wry Brit way, “if she had gone to Italy and NOT been pinched or whistled at, I rather suspect she would have been quite disappointed!”
I don’t see men staring at anything but their phones these days.
