[66] <strong>Alice</strong> April 2016 According to SSH, the Supreme Court has set a high bar against government intervention. The SSH’s website, stopstreetharrassment.org, points out that to regulate speech on the streets, it must be “clearly intimidating, rather than merely offensive, which is what most street harassment is.” Essentially, reporting isn’t so easy, and there is no real incentive to stop catcalling. Unger wants UA to be more committed as a community to having conversations about uncomfortable sexualization, even if they’re awkward, but both her and Dixie have their doubts about anyone taking action. “I think teaching people to not mistreat each other is more of a slow, grinding societal conversation,” Dixie says. Catcalling on UA’s campus isn’t as bad as what Unger expected, but it proved more prevalent than in her small hometown in Indiana. In big cities, she’s experienced two instances of more extreme catcalling. A couple of men followed her for multiple blocks in Los Angeles, continuing to tell her again and again, and in more aggressive tones, how attractive she was. In New York, a man on the street masturbated to her, fully aware that she could see him. He didn’t attempt to stop. In both situations, she felt incredibly uncomfortable and unsafe. “I know that some people may be like it, like ‘oh yeah, you know what, I do look good today,’ but I don’t feel that way at all,” Unger says. Dixie suggests uncomfortable people being catcalled remove themselves from the situation, or at least surround themselves safely with people. Personally she opts to give people a scathing look, but doesn’t bother saying much else. “But again, I’m older, and I have the ability to swing that [fact] around in a way that makes people uncomfortable. I have a mom face,” Dixie says with a laugh. Allie Sloan, a UA senior majoring in advertising and art, has never taken a catcall as derogatory or as an insult. To her, it’s more of something in between a whistle and a complimentary shout, and the prime catcalling situation seems to be when a bunch of people are piled in the car and driving by. Contrary to most women, she plays the role as the occasional catcaller. But Sloan says she decides to based on the situation and time of day. “If there’s anyone walking by and they look cute, or something about them just looks cheerful,” she says, “so you just want to let ‘em know that their good mood put you in a good mood.” If she’s the one catcalling, she says it’s never negative or a power play. It’s just her yelling a couple of words or sending a happy-go-lucky “ow! ow!” in the direction of someone sexy or cute. An attempted compliment, she calls it. She says she doesn’t know many women who catcall, other than a few friends, but that doesn’t bother her. “Maybe they never wanted to do it. Or it’s just a social norm thing,” she says. “It’s not something girls would commonly do, or people would find to be ladylike.” Unger says she’s never had any experience with UA girls, or any girls for that matter, catcalling. And she doesn’t consider catcalling to be “complimentary,” which where the definition gets tricky and can complicate
