Tourist strips in whistle protest

Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.

The Israeli tourist was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

She calmly stripped off, used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.

The woman told police she didn't take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road.

"She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said.

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."

Not much of a protest really if you ask me.

Anyway, do any of the brothers partake in the odd bit of wolf whistling as a hottie walks by? Can't say I ever have myself, though it wouldn't really be the done thing around the office!

Also have any of the brotherettes been subjected to it, and if so was it flattering or demeening?

Yes. Depends on the source... He's obviously bold, but is he also a dashing and handsome wolf that whistles?

In relation to the article, what an attentionwhoring twat. Excuse the pun.

On topic, yes i've been wolf whistled at and no it doesn't bother me. Its flattering imo.

No. He's just an asshole.

What a protest. I'd definitely stop after that. :pac:

I can't say I've ever whistled at a lady and I don't see myself doing it anytime soon. I just see it as something 'cheap and nasty' if that makes any sense.

I cannot do those loud whistles so I think it is pointless...

Wolf whistling isn't an attempt to communicate with a woman; it's a pack-bonding thing with men.

I find it tacky , immature and insulting to all genders.

People should be allowed walk around without the added burden of third parties commenting on how they look.

A gentle ass tap is much better. Women can't get enough of that one. Try it

I think that all the brothers being gents that they are do know better then to sexually assault a stranger, such things are kept for where they belong.

I think its sad and reflects more on the bloke then the woman subjected to it.
It's passable if its just wolf whistling, but its never just that it usually involves more
"Phhhwwwwooooaaaarrrr what I'd do to you" while doing pelvic thrusts and generally intimidating the woman walking by.
I just wish the men doing it realised how upsetting it is for some women walking by a group of guys and how scary it can be especially in town at night.

I can honestly say i have never thought about whistling at a woman, its cheap nasty and degranding and it the same as beeping your car horn.

Animals use puffed chests and mating calls to try and attract a mate.

Discovery channel said so.

In my day, I've gotten a lot of wolf whistles, the latest was around 3 years ago when I was getting my baby out of her car seat and into the buggy bringing her into work to show her off. I was parked near a building site.

I love a good wolf whistle me!!!

I once had a guy stare at me so much he literally walked into a lamppost

Damn I wish I was still a teenager!

Never saw the point in wolf whistling. Its not gonna make women like you. In fact you'll just look like a complete gobsheen while failing at the mating game.

I can see a point in it now though if it will encourage wimmins to get their kit off in "protest"!
