My earliest interaction of catcalling came when I was 12 years old. My friend was gorgeous and physically mature for her age, and told me she got catcalled a lot. Once, we were walking downtown together, and a 30-ish man yelled from a car, ʺHey baby, you lookin gooood today,” equipped with kissing noises. My (keep in mind, 12 year old) friend just frowned, looked at her shoes, and sighed. I was dumbfounded that someone would actually say that, and thinking back, it’s quite disgusting.
