I’ve been catcalled in NC, WV, CO, SC, TN, NY, FL, and CA. I dress modestly and act accordingly. Small cities, big cities, doesn’t matter.
The problem is that some people (men in this case) don’t know how to behave themselves in public, or around members of the opposite sex.
This isn’t a city problem. It’s a society problem.
The article seems to claim that “men” behave in this way.
May I point out that many men do not, and wouldn’t dream of it.
