I very much agree kirklancaster - the problem here is not men, it's "morons"... and unfortunately, there's a large element of same-brush-tarring.

The problem is that the world is simply full of not-very-intelligent, not-very-civilised people, of both genders. There's a huge element of "monkey see, monkey do" - working class men catcalling because their buddies catcall who do it because their other buddies do it, ad infinitum.

What makes the problem more pronounced with men is that, it's a sad fact of biology, unintelligent men are more likely to think with what's in their pants than unintelligent women. That's not a societal issue, that's simple testosterone level. On that biological level, men and women can simply never be identical. And that's why when seeking "equality", it's foolish to aim for "sameness". We can, and should, be equal in the sense that neither gender is "better" than the other, or favoured in any meaningful way, or has more rights than the other... but we can't ever be equal in the sense of being "the same".
