Tired Of Getting Catcalled, This Woman Started Taking Selfies With The Catcallers, And The Results Are Pretty Disturbing
There's nothing that makes a woman's skin crawl quite like getting catcalled on the street. 20-year-old Amsterdam-based student Noa Jansma, much like the rest of us, was pretty fed up with it, and decided to do something about it. Throughout the month of September, she took a selfie with every single creep who harassed her and uploaded them on Instagram, captioning each one with the words of her abusers.
What do the photos say? By juxtaposing the catcallers' callous, unashamed grins with her own exhausted, painfully familiar expression, Jansma shows the world just how frequent, real, and disturbing these experiences are for women everywhere. She also gains power over them, though, by documenting their actions and putting them on display for the whole world to see. Though her own experiment has ended, she has opened the @dearcatcallers Instagram page for submissions in hopes of creating a global dialogue on the collective struggle women face.
From January 1st, 2018, catcalling will be punishable by law in Jansma's native Netherlands, and violators will be subject to fines of up to 190 euros ($220). If her daring project continues to go viral, perhaps more nations will follow suit.

This made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. I definitely would NOT have let him put his disgusting paws on me.
I'd of let him follow me straight to the police station... or church.
Attracted to how long she looks no doubt. Too bad there wasn't a photo of the license plate.
Something tells me he's probably a virgin. He wouldn't now what to do with any girl. Perv.
Oh, be still my heart, looks like the last time he took a shower was 2001.
Sounds like he wanted to eat her, judging by the size of that belly, he probably did! Creep!
That whistling is for each other. They know it won't get her attention, but it proves their manhood and humiliates her at the same time. If she ignores it, they get what they want. If she tells them off, it makes them even more proud of themselves. She's documenting it, and if they don't realize what tools they look like, at least everyone who sees them does.
So many of these pigs look so proud of themselves. Does this s**t seriously ever work? NO. And how many of these losers were lucky enough to have a gf or wife, and are probably still yelling at young girls. How many have daughters or sisters? Disgusting.
seriously i don't understand why guys do that! Did they really think that work?
"Mom, how did you and Dad meet?" "Well, he yelled, 'Nice tits!' out of a moving car, and I knew he was the one."

She's gorgeous... without makeup. Why do women have to wear makeup Alex? I'm going to let you in on a little secret... WOMEN DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP TO IMPRESS MEN! We wear makeup for ourselves because we want too, we could really give a rat's a*s whether or not men approve of our face and what goes on it.
