Even as a male, I'll be the first to admit the average guy can be a real jerk.
It would be nice if everyone were thoughtful and respectful of anyone of another sex, race, religion, persuasion...alas, we continue to be beset with cads and disrespectful blokes who can't seem to see anything beyond their nose...and that would be pushing it...
While it may seem cliche and stereotypical, it's nonetheless a truth that at a lot of construction sites men at the very least leer at attractive women, if not outright shout things, whistle, or make cat-calls to them. At this moment the road is being ripped up in front of my subdivision and I watch the sign-holders scope out the women in obvious fashion as they drive by at 5 mph. Not all do, of course, but all too many do...
DATELINE: KERIKERI, NEW ZEALAND
Take one attractive, easy-on-the-eyes Israeli lady in New Zealand, have her walk by a road construction site as she heads toward an ATM, only to have the guys being typical schmucks and saying insulting, degrading things of a sexual nature...
That's right...turn your head the other way...pretend you don't hear a word...don't give them the satisfaction of knowing they're rattling your cage...you GO, girl!...
Go to the ATM...insert your card...start undressing and...wait a minute here!...strip to your birthday suit while you withdraw money...(no, really, I can't make this up...)...then seductively get dressed again, and be on your way... She was quoted as saying, "Bugger them, I'll show them what I've got!" Apparently she did it with aplomb.
Needless to say this was seen by more than the construction workers. The police were called, she was taken to the station, and after hearing her story and how she was so fed up with the comments that she decided to 'show her goods' and...geesh...the police politely told her that she can't do that in New Zealand.
Oh, to be a fly on that wall...
