Women enjoy being wolf-whistled at. Shocking as it is, simple creatures that we are, we appreciate the compliment. Like the cab driver calling you "love", or your boss complimenting you on your dress, it makes your day just a little bit nicer.

What it doesn't do is send you running, tearful, to the head of Human Resources, or prompt you to lock yourself in the ladies' loo, feeling bruised or degraded

wow, your views on this are pretty shocking I have to say LT. I think I'll bow out now, as I don't think we'll ever see this from the same place.

full quote was actually :

She told Newsbeat: "Every day I'd walk past and they'd wolf whistle. They'd even come out of the building site to wolf whistle as I'd continue down the road.

"One of the guys got up in my face and all he said was 'morning love', but it was in a very aggressive way and the other one sneered.
"They blocked the pavement and I had to walk around them."

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

Because a lot of "hard working chaps" get off on making people (both women AND other men) feel uncomfortable and intimidated, is the sad truth that I'm sure you don't want to hear.

Anyone who has read many of my posts knows that I am far from being "a feminist" but I see this more or less every day. Burly dirty faced red nosed big chavs trying to make themselves feel big by intimidating people. With women they add the pervy aspect but they'll do it to pretty much anyone. They don't get very far with it at my place of work, mind.

This isn't all manual labourers by the way but it's enough for it to be frequent.
