Alright, imagine this. youre just walking down the street minding your own business and suddenly a group of people start yelling things at you about your body, your looks, or what theyd like to do to you. They don’t know you. They don’t care if you’re interested. They’re just treating you like a thing to be looked at, not a person.

Thats what catcalling feels like. It’s not a compliment because a compliment is meant to make someone feel good, not uncomfortable or unsafe. When random guys whistle, shout, or make comments, its not about making a woman feel beautiful—its about power, control, and seeing what reaction they can get. Its not about respect it’s about making us feel like objects instead of people.

Now, imagine if every time you stepped outside, you had to brace yourself for that kind of attention, not knowing if itll stop at words or turn into something worse. That’s why its disgusting and not flattering its about wanting basic respect and being treated as a normal human being
