(37,573 posts)know that it is happening. Since you are not one of the victims, you don't see it. Most of the perpetrators, unless they are acting with a bunch of lowlife friends, are gonna act when there are no other witnesses.
That is, if you are walking with a lady friend, somebody is not gonna walk by and say "nice tits" to her, BECAUSE of your presence. She's far more likely to hear it when she is alone.
And in that case, what is even worse than the crude, unsolicited comment, is the potential threat of sexual assault.
It's a selection bias, and I don't doubt that most women have experienced it. We live, after all, in a nasty world. Although most of the women I know do not spend a lot of time complaining to me about it. Which I would expect them to do if they were really upset.
But you are correct in that the cartoon never did get around to answering the question posed - WHERE do you experience it?
