Wolf whistling - a hate crime ??

The Nottingham plods have more on their plates than arresting loungers for wolf whistling, but they probably think it sounds good (talk is cheap....)

Snap!! That did make me laugh!!!

If someone wolf-whistled me, I would suggest a quick trip to Specsavers.

I always regarded a wolf whistle as a cheeky compliment, sadly with the passing of time, now a distant one!! To make it a hate crime is quite extraordinary! Obviously if it's accompanied by lewd comments , that's a different matter, but on its own, surely it's harmless.

Ah I didn't see the other thread Ann .

I haven't been wolf whistled in years so I think I'd probably be flattered

I think we have all experienced the wolf whistle and probably at the time either took no notice of it or were able to come back with a sarcastic remark. I think the problem now is women are so often portrayed as sex objects that the whistle is sometimes accompanied by lewd comments and women can feel intimated by that. I don't think the police will be staking out building sites and the like waiting to pounce on whistlers.

If someone wolf whistled me I would walk past them again absolutely ridiculous classing it as a hate crime!!!

I remember starting a thread on this some months ago which got very heated and ran to several pages so I will leave this alone.

I would have thought it was a term showing admiration rather than a hate crime,I could only whistle when I was small and lost my two front teeth.!!

OTT IMHO
But then I have never been able to whistle, either
