    Recently someone tried to "catcall" my girlfriend, by offending me... I mean, I get it... I'm not the manliest of men. But I found his ignorance so funny I laughed at his insult... If only I had this poem to show him...if only!

      Could you please edit your comment? Sorry for the sudden reply to a years old comment, but I felt this needed to be said, Andrea’s pronouns are they/them, and this information had already been publicly available for years prior to the posting of your original comment, though I’m not mad that you didn’t know, I just wanted to let you know to edit this comment, thank you and goodbye.

      @ragnar6131 Před 6 lety +17

      A man would never write a poem like this. A man will never understand the feelings of fear and disgust that comes with being catcalled. They're the ones saying "it's just a compliment"

    • @bless9865
      @bless9865 Před 5 lety +7

      Ragnar Sorry, but I know a man that wrote a poem for all the guys that catcalls girls. And he said in his poem that catcalling is not a compliment, and it doesn't make them manly.
