Wolf Whistles

Aug 24, 2009 | Posted by User Submission |

I was in Arlington last Wednesday, and while walking down Lee Highway two men who were sitting across the street in front of Pioneer Motors wolf whistled at me. When I turned to look at them they started smiling and waving. I was furious.

“No! Do you see me smiling? That’s not cute, that’s tacky! Don’t do that to me or any other woman who walks by again!”

When I pulled out my camera (from a safe distance across the street) they got quieter than it’s kept and the grins were wiped off their faces.

I didn’t have the energy to report them to their employers (I deal with this nonsense too often), but I feel my yelling at them was enough.

Location: Across the street from Pioneer Motors, 2510 Lee Highway
