for real I am wanting to understand why us(an apparently evolved civilization) are still trying to integrate old behaviours(neanderthals) into sophisticated civilisations(us right now).
How do we come up with one and the other without contradicting.
Do you know what I mean?
Don’t kid yourself. We’re still animals.

How dare you take overt signs of sexual interest as a compliment. How. Dare. You.

I won’t kid myself, I’m just trying to learn behaviours and understand it at face value.
So if we’re still animals(the least evolved of them all at that) and are still living in the wild.....there is no moral compass then? For anything? Or just for some of the things that may suits some of us on the upper end?

I agree that your perspective does not matter much.
The difference between men and women is that you would be complimented by a member of the opposite sex whereas for a woman that is a threatening gesture. Few men understand this.
It is far more common for women to be attacked by a man.

Other primates have very prolific orgy sessions were they scoop the semen of other males out of the female before depositing their own.
What are you talking about least evolved? Or are you saying that's a step up from what you experience now?
So that makes it ok

We have also learned how to read and write properly believe it or not.

I don’t know what I said that offended you?
I was referring to: as far away from evolved civilizations(that we like to think of as not like us) as we can get, to where we are now.
Where did this attempt of an insult come from?

Don't bother trying to reason with a predator who feels justified at barking and whistling at minors who just want to be comfortable while training.
So go braless then
Thank you, lesson learned.
Cheers!

What's the goal? Arrest everyone who ever has a sexual thought in their head? Hire legal counsel to send a notice of intent to a prospective mate? Going to be hard to keep the world populated like that.

Cheers to you also! I think most people think like you do. I believe that. The kind of scum that is posting here usually do not act on their impulses fortunately for fear of consequences.
My athletes are instructed to memorize license plates when confronted. That is what I would encourage any woman to do that is reading this. It only happens with the frequency of once a year and the police are MORE then happy to follow up on things. It rarely ends in an arrest but their is a lot of public shame to go around when we find out who is behaving like an animal.

Sure, greg. Waste police resources because someone whistled at a girl.

I’m not saying all guys of course but i’m a female that lives in florida so it gets pretty hot here in the afternoons. I wear a sports bras/nike pros or just regular nike tempo shorts and in the past 2 weeks 3 men have approached me and one has whistled like i’m some skank or something. Guys are able to go shirtless and be fine but I swear some females wear a sports bra running and we are considered the “whores” and men think we are wearing that to get there attention. LIKE NO ITS JUST HOT AF lol. Guys please explain to me why do you think so men do this? The 3 men were older (maybe 40s) but the one suprisngly looked in his early 20s.
So OP, this is what I learned.
I still do not understand why some men feel it’s appropriate to cat call women and make them feel they are ONLY A sexual object of their desire while said women is just going about their business but...
Do keep on going out running in sports bra and when ever you feel like one of those entitled assh0les is cat calling you, turn around full spin and roundkick the living F*%k out of him in the chicklets. Pick up said chicklets on the ground and put in your pocket for futur macrame decorations, just like in the old days.
Because apparently, we’re all animals.
I hope this helps.
I live in FL, I run shirtless for most runs and I get cat called a lot. Mostly by dudes poking fun, sometimes by girls, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I take it as a compliment to get a whistle from a passing car of girls.
I, for one, am a big supporter of girls wearing bras and spandex when they run. In society there are certain rules of conduct, but taking pleasure in simply ogling at women in bras and spandex is not crossing the line. It’s just fricking hot.

Ah the tired “lived experience “ trope.
This problem is easily solvable for the OP. Just identify as a man and then it is no longer sexist.
