Betty stood her ground against a cat-caller. It was funny because he told her to take it easy and that he’s a married man. It’s interesting because men cat call for different reasons but a few of those reasons are to intimidate and objectify. Betty doing it back to him was very bold. I don’t think men are used to being talked to that way unless they are dancers or adult entertainers. I’ve wondered a few times if men would like to be cat called– if they would find it flattering. I think it’s up to the individual. Ultimately, I think Betty matching his energy was good for her because staying silent would have sent a different message.
