"wolf whistling" = cat calling, "flirting", whatever you want to call it.  That thing sh**tty dudes do that lets ladies know they find them attractive and at the same time advertising to everyone around that they are living in a different century as far as feminism goes.

It may soon become illegal in France.  The EU has discussed it.  It may be coming to a legal jurisdiction near you soon.  How do you feel about it?

I don't think that would do much good, but I really don't care either way. The more important thing is that it should become socially unacceptable.

Voted option 4, obviously.

No. It's a bad thing to do and shouldn't be done, but it still falls under freedom of speech.

No because this type of action sounds like something that could never be precisely defined as far as it comes to writing a clear law.

No, absolutely not. it's free speech regardless of how I personally feel about it.

Agreed.

Atlas has an annoying habit of putting everything on a good/legal, bad/illegal spectrum, which in turn leads either to a very bad culture or a over the top nanny state. Sometimes you just need to call someone out and leave it at that.
