Women the world over have to deal with “hey, baby” and worse from catcallers while walking on the sidewalk or riding the train — and most say the harassment started when they were girls.
Street harassment is so common around the globe that 84% of women say they experienced it before turning 17, a new study found.
More than half told researchers they have been fondled orgroped, according to the global online survey of more than 16,600 women, by anti-harassment group Hollaback! and Cornell University.
“This is a global problem. This really points to the fact that it is a global epidemic,” said Debjani Roy, deputy director of Hollaback!
Fei Lai, 26, says the harassing comments make her uncomfortable, but she pretends not to hear it.
“More people are able to recognize this as a problem, rather than something that just happens,” she said.
A striking 82% of transgender women across the globe reported being harassed because of their gender identity, researchers found.
Nearly three-quarters of women overall reported being followed on the street.
Street harassment is a daily tribulation for many New York City women.
“I just pretend I don’t hear it,” said Upper West Side consultant Fei Lai, 26.
“I feel like it does make me more uncomfortable,” she said, especially at night.
Queens television editor Lori McCarthy said she started wearing headphones when she goes running so that her music drowns out any unwanted comments.
“When I first moved to Astoria, I was surprised at the amount of catcalling,” she said.
Macha Griffith O’Donnell, a Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn waitress, said she keeps her head down and doesn’t stop walking if someone starts making comments about her body.
“It’s a part of life, I suppose,” said O’Donnell, who added that street harassment is different in New York than in her native Ireland.
“Men over here like to wolf whistle — they’re more confident,” she said.
More than 10% of Americans who responded said they were harassed before age 11.
“People don’t want to recognize that this starts really young,” said Roy. “The emotional impact it has as girls develop is quite significant.”
Thats women for ya. Nothing makes them happy.
Notice them, they get pissed off at guys who notice them.
Dont notice them, they get pissed off that no men are noticing them.

Love how they just SLIP that in there. Non-sequitur.
As for “global problem” - duh! It is NOT Americans or primarily Euro-types that are the most egregious violators, despite what every America (white)-hating American wishes it to be.

It builds character.
Women don’t know what they want except the right to bitch.....
