You don't understand the nuance evident in their catcalls, howls and whistles.
How right you are. How silly of me.
If I directed such toward a woman, I would be prosecuted for sexual harrassment.
If I direct it toward a sitting governor, I am engaging in thoughtful, protected free speech (only if I'm a Democrat).
If I direct it toward a liberal in front of a microphone, who is spouting unpatriotic, anti-American nonsense, I am accused of squelching free speech.
Thanks for setting me straight. Now I understand the "nuances" between different uses of the same type of speech. Now I feel better.
