Joanna Lumley may take wolf-whistling as a βcomplimentβ but for a lot of women catcalling is, at best, annoying and at worst, intimidating.
In fact, 85% of women aged 18-24 have experienced unwanted sexual attention and 45% have experienced unwanted sexual touching.
To highlight just how normalised it is in society, we asked a handful of women to reveal the weirdest and most bizarre situations in which theyβd been catcalled.
The responses prove that no matter what situation women are in, theyβll almost always be subjected to unwanted remarks.
