I was walking down the street a few days ago and there were these two guys who were clicking their tongues (like you'd do to call a dog back to you) and making comments at a woman, and I swear it took me a few moments to realise what was happening - they were literally the first people I've ever seen doing this kind of thing, so it just did not compute in my brain. My whole reaction was "Who even does this any more?! Assholes!!"
One of my female friends had a similar experience that she summed up as thinking "Oh, hang on, I know what's happening - you're a sexist dickhead! Wow! I didn't realise people like you still existed!!"
I think it's pretty awesome that this kind of assholery is dying out and feel really lucky my friends and I have never experienced this kind of abuse.
