How young boys are taught to view (harass?) women?

[Honeycombe8]

9. This. Yes, this is how some men/boys view it.

I have a close friend, a gay male, and he's the same way. When he speaks of women for whatever reason (actress, politician, coworker) he almost always includes some reference to some physical feature, good or bad. He once said to me that it's a compliment when construction workers give wolf calls to passing women. After all, women like to be appreciated, don't they? It's a compliment!

Once I was driving to work down a very busy street that had construction. There, on the yellow CAT equipment being used to move concrete, was a large photo hanging off the window of the CAT, maybe 6 feet tall?...of a totally nude woman, complete with pube hair and such. I was so offended that I don't have words. It was a shocking sight to see suddenly, in public. And what it meant. Now WHY would a guy do that? What's the purpose? He's not reading a porn mag for his own purposes. So what was his purpose? It intentionally faced the public, the hundreds of cars passing by.

It was very insulting and offensive to all women, not to mention not fit to be in public in full view of everyone, including children.

(Thank goodness it was gone the next day. That's illegal, BTW. Public exhibition of pornography.)

But what was really disturbing was the purpose the guy did that.
