    Wolf-whistling in the Uk


    Ok I am not 100% sure what wolf-whistling means....but this is interesting and somehow crazy:

    College girls banned from whistling at builders
    A further education college is having to protect builders from wolf-whistling girls, in a reversal of traditional gender stereotypes.


    ELEANOR BENTALL
    The students have been advised that their attentions constitute harassment and are wholly unacceptable

    Officials at West Kent College in Tonbridge, Kent, sent an email to all pupils warning that the behaviour was "totally unacceptable", and saying any students caught harassing contractors would face disciplinary action.
    The email was sent after a demolition team started work on a £94 million, three-year building project at the campus.
    The email read: "It has come to the attention of the college that some female students have been making comments to, or whistling at, the builders both whilst on site and as they walk around the campus.


    "Although we are sure no offence is meant, this constitutes harassment and is wholly unacceptable.
    "We have asked the contractors' representative to pass on all instances of harassment to the college and we will take appropriate action which may include disciplinary action."
    A spokeswoman for the contractors, Galliford Try, said: "We have no registered complaints on this issue. However we do not condone inappropriate behaviour from any parties on our sites."
    Meanwhile new laws could see wolf-whistling builders placed on the sex offenders register. The Sexual Offences (Scotland) Bill will create a new offence of "communicating indecently", punishable by up to 10 years in jail.
    The legislation is intended to punish sexual harassment by text, emails and letters, but ministers also aim to include sexually explicit comments to strangers. It is expected that the law would only apply to persistent offenders.
    At the moment, workmen who repeatedly make obscene comments to passers-by can be convicted of a breach of the peace.

    Ten years for whisteling....Well who didn´t see this comming after they looked this guy up who told some girls they were extremely beautiful....weird uk...
    The men's and fathers' movement needs to make sure it never sees females as the enemy,
    but only misandry--whether from females or from males.
    If not, we'll become like the bigoted feminists that this movement was formed to oppose.

    Re: Wolf-whistling in the Uk

    Please, please Mr Bob the Builder, SUE the College.

    The fatuousness of the "Officials" at West Kent College in Tonbridge, Kent knows know bounds.

    It is Colleges that are the Hive of Feminazis who ADVOCATE that women sue EMPLOYERS who do not ENSURE that a workplace is 'safe' from harassment. It is no use employers extolling employees or even visitors, let alone the main body of people there. It isn't enough. It is no protection for an employer to have a manual five friggin' feet thich ordering people not to harass.

    It is sufficient for someone to 'feel' harrassed and the EMPLOYER has to pay.

    Please, please sue the bastards. They have admitted that girl students sexually harass.

    Maybe then Colleges would cease employing the Agitprop factory workers of the Princess of Lies, the Feminazis.

    How does the college know that no offense is meant? Is that just because they are innocent little girls? If it were college boys "wolf whistling" as female workers, would this "no offense is meant" comment have been made?

    It is interesting that no official complaints have been filed. Where did this issue arise from? Perhaps Mizz Galliford Try was jealous that the little tarts were giving (wanted?) attention to the men she represents (and ogles?).

    Either way, I say sue, fine, imprison. If feminists are going to make men's lives miserable, we should take every chance we can to make women's lives miserable, not just to be vindictive, but to knock some sense into women.

    We have on-going construction going on at my college campus too, and though the guys really are nice to look at, it would be improper to stand there and stare (or whistle) at them like they are some sort of Chippendales Show. Grown women don't do that. You might make a mental note (or take a mental picture), but you walk on by.

    Allow me to disagree with you through the words of a feminist:

    Being Sexist - Women Are Bad For It As Well P3

    Quote Quote from Psychosis View Post
    This is one of the arguments that annoys the hell of me the most from some feminists (note that I said some: I consider myself to be one). It's NOTHING whatsoever to do with sexism, and women have these images too. It's a basic human (not sexist - human) instinct to find the opposite (or sometimes the same ) sex attractive, and to feel good by looking at them. That doesn't mean that you don't respect them. If these women are happy to get paid to be proud of their bodies, there's nothing wrong with men enjoying it, just as there's nothing wrong with women staring at a set of washboard abs if they like it. Although there are men out there who do view women as nothing but objects, looking at hot pictures in a magazine does not make you one of those people.

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    Psycho Sis alright. Just how does one get through to these people. She considers herself to be a feminist but cherry-picks the bits she likes regardless of the damage all around her from feminism.

    Can you imagine a member of the Nazi Party saying," It annoys me all this gassing of jews but I just love the Uniforms, and the trains run on time."

    Re: Wolf-whistling in the Uk

    Recently, I had a couple of teenage girls remark in a sarcastic tone; "hello, gorgeous", as I walked through a street.

    I suppose under these barmy new laws, I am consequently the 'victim' of 'indecent communication'.

    A spokeswoman for the contractors, Galliford Try, said: "We have no registered complaints on this issue.
    And I suspect that is how it will remain. Zero complaints from the men. Reverse the genders and you'd have the EOC (Equal Opportunities Commision) setting up a field of operations - as the queues of alleged female victims grew, bolstered on by the enthusiastic encouragement from the corrupted EOC advisors.

    Tera, I'd fervently disagree that "grown women don't do that." I've helped out on a number of construction projects, and women are bold as you like in whistling and making sexually charged comments (some very explicit). It didn't bother me personally, but I always thought how things would be so different if the genders were reversed, or indeed if I engaged in similar behaviour with a female passerby.

    In fact, this very notion is often portrayed in the media as empowering and women "getting their own back."

    For example, here in the UK, ads for diet coke, for a number of years have shown women basically 'sexually harassing' construction workers and handymen. The latest one is an ad whereby three female office workers are ogling a repairman in the close proximity of a lift - as he lowers himself down through a hatch baring his midriff, the women salivating and sipping their cokes all the while.

    Either it's ok for all too whistle and comment, or both men and women should be punished 'equally' for doing so. It's a sad state of affairs whereby natural human behaviour is legislated against, but the fems and political correctoids have brought this neverending madness upon themselves.

    Yip. I say the state does not need to intervene.

    If a person does not like to be whistled or subject to comments, they have the traditional retort..

    "Get stretched!" (Or words to suit!!)

    I guess that makes two crimes in this stupid statist world we live in..

    1. The crime of letching.

    2. The crime of upsetting someone by responding.

    3. The crime of taking the role of a police officer..

    She's saying that if a woman wants to prance around for attention, she can. Most guys won't be objectifying her for it, but there are those that will. She continues by identifying that women do it too (now this is a shock statement from a feminist), and this isn't sexist at all - it's human nature.

    I dunno about all ya'z, but I'd tend to agree with this. It is human nature... there are some guys who will ogle sexually - and there are women who ogle sexually. We're human, it's human nature - tadaa.
