Noa Jansma, a student in Amsterdam, got so fed up with the men yelling and whistling at her, that she took a selfie with each of the guys who couldn’t restrain himself when he spotted her walking by in September. She uploaded the pictures on Instagram and wrote down what they yelled at her.
What do these guys hope to accomplish? Does any guy seriously think it will get him a date?
If you do, you are entirely ignorant of a woman’s needs. If you do not expect anything, then you’re just being an obnoxious douchebag.
Which of these two do you wish to be? Neither I hope.

Be nice to women.
They really do fear for their lives in dark alleys, underground parking lots, parks, and deserted streets. Don’t be a part of the reason why that is so…
such a simple concept

Hope it stops those charming womanisers, but I kinda doubt it, think they just don’t understand they are making of a fool of themselves

This is certainly a noble idea. However, as a woman who’s been an adult longer than this young adult’s even been alive, I feel compelled to say that, generally speaking, the men who behave in such manners are not bright enough to realize that they are being shamed, and, even worse, human nature itself creates no shortage of people that will gladly accept bad attention over no attention.

Yes, I agree. Wrote something similar in a comment. In those pictures those people seem to just enjoy the selfie moment as though they finally did something worthy of some attention. I guess if you can’t do anything creative or praiseworthy you will start being obnoxious to get noted. The instagram account won’t stop them, only encourage them. But I think she did manage to create more awareness around it. If bystanders start berating catcallers instead of ignoring them, they may start thinking twice. My blog post is also a bit useless, because the people who do this, don’t read… thanks for your thoughtful comment!

Mr. Peynsaert, it was/is truly delightful to see a male person chime in on such matters in good and constructive ways. In particular, your suggestion that bystanders take action is most excellent. Further, I add that male bystanders are particularly encouraged to admonish men they witness catcalling.
