Surely, the girl in the catcall video is getting harassed, but what they don't tell you is that when it is happening, you will develop a certain kind of relationship to it in your head, conflicted but a marriage of sorts, nevertheless, and through the years, as your ass drops, and your boobs sag, and your face cracks, you will find that it is harder and harder to maintain that relationship, good or bad, and the catcalls will come less, over the days, and the months, and the years, and some days, you will find, you will give up on them altogether, and some days, you will discover, you will work harder to get them so you can remember what it was like to be told, hey, baby, and, damn, you fine, and, girl, you got an ass on you, don't you, and you will not tell anyone, because they will tell you this is wrong, but you will miss it, you will pine for it, you will long for it, what is gone, and the only thing that greets you when you walk down the street is blank stares and silence.
