This Lesbian Breaks Downs Exactly Why Catcalling Sucks So Much

I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard. "The folks over at The Onion are so funny!" I thought to myself as I read "Hey, ladies -- catcalls are flattering! Deal with it."

Then my stomach sank. It wasn't The Onion at all. It was the New York Post. And it wasn't a joke. It was a shamefully sad commentary written by a very misguided young woman.

She delights in the catcalls she receives, happy to be out of college and into this "brave new world, where guys tell it like they see it."

What she considers truth telling is actually shitty old objectification of women. They are telling it not as they see it but as they want it to be. They want your existence to be about them. You exist for them. Your beauty is for their consumption, to appease their desire. You are fuckable to them. Congratulations....
