Austin TX runner seeks to make cat-calling illegal

Hot reporter.

This is insane. Guys making cat calls are a bit ridiculous but to make it a crime is just plain stupid. Are we going to legislate every possible human behavior? Just another pc idiot.

Perhaps she should learn what cat-calls are first?

Hmm, with all of the harassment and profiling that happens to minorities on a daily basis, this woman is offended that guys want to have sex with her? Give me a break.

Lewd or not, it's free speech.

"It's usually just like, 'Woo hoo!' or 'Hey, baby!' It's disgusting. It's horrible."

End of thread.

So, her 15 minute 'claim to fame' is wanting to get guys arrested for "street sexual harassment" when the say "woo hop" to her... typical useful idiot for the Austin marxist crew.

Isn't there sufficient punishment in the fact that the guy who shouts at you from his pickup is never, ever going to have anything approaching a healthy, happy relationship with an actual woman.

This is a typical democrat.

Well, it should be treated the same way as racism.

In what world is being cat-called a "compliment"? That's so pathetic its funny! Unless you "work" as a prostitute or model and actually make money out of a variety of men finding you attractive, its more likely to considered threatening or annoying. Only desperate women, in my experience, find random remarks threatening.

I'm embarrassed for her, and feel sorry for her husband. She needs to grow a pair.

I've been "cat-called" by women passing in cars. Can't say I felt harassed.

Is cat-calling about her horrific form considered street harassment?

OMG she needs to learn how to run.

do some A's and B's girlfriend.

Those cars are honking at traffic not YOU.

She didnt even look to see it's a male driver?

could be a fellow female runner did the car have a 26.2 sticker on it.

sheeezzz

I agree. It should be criminal to catcall that woman.

Ummm, perhaps the camera and reporter instigated the honk? Perhaps that person wants to watch the news, hear their honk, and laugh because they knew it was them.

Real harassment is something that should be taken seriously... but this, is just attention seeking.

She lost 85 pounds? She still looks fat - and is quite ugly to boot. The person who did the catcalling was doing it for the cute reporter. Not for her fat azzz.

Gosh, we're awful here.

But I'm more disappointed in the guys that are cat calling her.

All the guys cat-calling her are the illegal immigrants who are standing on the corner looking for work. Maybe a few rednecks too. No one white and professional is doing any cat-calling.
