why would he say "morning love" in an aggressive way? and "sneered?"

So she says but I would wager the chaps involved would suggest otherwise


But to waste police time with this is just the limit.

Why would she waste her time reporting these guys if she didn't feel harassed? and of course the "chaps involved would suggest otherwise" lol

Cant believe the bollocks I've read in this thread tbh.

The girl had every right to complain, as does anyone that is made to feel anxious/uneasy/intimidated whilst going about her own business.

Wolf whistling once or twice isn't too bad I guess but doing it to the same girl routinely then escalating it by blocking her path and so on isn't alright and anyone thinking otherwise is part of the bigger problems that women face every day.

I'm genuinely wondering how many fathers/grandfathers/brothers would think this was 'over reacting' if it was their own female relative that was being objectified and hounded with unwanted attention by a group of immature men

[Livia]

I'm with Josy on this one.

If they hadn't got rid of page 3 then these builders wouldn't have had to find real women to leer over

I agree, it wasnt just a one off thing, she had to put up with it every day.

That is true.I was shocked when i picked up the Sun on a train the other day to find no page 3.I don't usually read it so i did'nt even know it had gone.Blokes need something to brighten up their day a little while they're out hard at a manual job.

Yet those same blokes would have a heart attack if they opened up the paper to page 3 and saw a big ol knob placed there to brighten up the day for all the women and gay men that are out working hard at a manual job eh

Wolf-whistle backlash: Police and woman under fire after complaint about builders

West Mercia chiefs were accused of getting their priorities wrong after sending officers to probe Poppy Smart’s claims of sexual harassment.

The 23-year-old marketing assistant complained after hearing the “disrespectful” calls as she passed the site in Worcester on her way to work.

But Philip Davies, who is seeking re-election as Tory MP for Shipley, West Yorkshire, said: “I would have thought the police have better things to do.

“I don’t know how many burglaries there are to investigate in Worcester, but there are probably quite a few.

“I’m sure the public would feel safer if police devoted more time to investigating them.”

His views were echoed by Worcester residents who used social media to rant about the “waste of money”.

The guardian already puts them on the front page.


I agree though it shows a real lack of empathy to not even realise how intimidated she might have felt and nobody should be scared to walk down the road. I dont know why you are suprised by some comments on here though.

You don't see the lady bits on page 3 so i don't think a big 'ol 'knob' would be allowed to be honest,Or a big 'ol minge.I did once see a flap poking out when they forgot to airbrush it out though.I would'nt get offended if there was a topless bloke on page 4 tbh,Infact i bet there's already plenty in that showbiz section for women.
Maybe leave 'big 'ol knobs' in the lady porn mags eh.

topless men and topless women are not comparable though, if they were you wouldn't have people being up in arms over breast feeding mothers daring to get them out in public to feed their babies
