I used to think it was very clever to point out to women that they drew this line according to whether or not they were attracted to the man doing the ‘complimenting’, the whistling or even the ‘inappropriate touching’. I see now that this involves me putting the responsibility for my behaviour onto them, a process that ultimately led to another female caller, who we’ll meet shortly, ringing in to tell me that it is somehow a waitress’s fault when she gets groped by a diner.
