So she has went through the first stage militant feminism of I'm young and attractive what makes those pigs think they can talk to me. And has entered the second stage of I'm getting older why won't those pigs talk to me anymore

Feminism : A movement with the stated goal of equal rights for women but whose actions point towards a culture of women being legally entitled to 'having it both ways'

Valenti is an obnoxious imbecile and I wish she would find her own safe safe space ... on the far side of the Moon.

The fact that feminism doesn't have to make any kind of sense is part of the traditional privileged roles women have. It's like women telling men to go catch a bug for them. It's irrational and silly but women get away with it. Feminism is like that bug. Everyone knows it's ridiculous and silly but they pander to it anyway. Most women just use feminism like a big shit test / power play. How fucking stupid will men be if we just tell them to do and believe fucking stupid things?

I really wanna know who on earth "hisses" at people on the street. It doesn't sound like something that people with "privilege" do. As usual it sounds more like something that the homeless, mentally ill or otherwise downtrodden groups of men might tend to do as a response to actual, material disempowerment (not like the disempowerment feminists claim to suffer when they can't find cute clothes in their size).

Valenti's article is a masterpiece of an over simplified re-framing of the world and looking through a jaundiced lens. This is what Women's Studies does for you. She is also trying to mainstream herself.

It's not really a contradiction.

Being harassed on the street is not a compliment, and it surely has never felt like one. For most, if not all women, it can be scary and sometimes dangerous to deal with. But I can admit that - even as a seasoned feminist - sexism is a powerful enough force to still reside my head. Maybe by acknowledging as much I can begin to let it go (hopefully, long before I turn 45).

She continues to acknowledge the cat-calling is bad, but as she is getting older she is noticing that men pay less attention to her in all situations - cat-calling is just the easiest to notice.
