Wolf Whistling to be made Illegal!

Yahoo News said:

Wolf-whistling will technically be made illegal under European laws set to be signed by David Cameron today.

The prime minister chose International Women's Day to sign a Council of Europe convention promising "necessary legislative measures” against anyone committing “verbal, non-verbal or physical sexual harassment”.

Good, there's nothing more cringeworthy.

Hopefully the phrase "You know what she needs...." is next on the list.

So whats different from a normal whistle to a wolf whistle? Volume? The "notes" you hit while whistling?

So, what they are banning is whistling in its entirety.

Daaamit, I guess I will just have to shout " Bang Tidy " from now on then.

They're not banning whistling, they're trying to stop women being sexually harrassed, verbally, non-verbally and physically. That can mean quite literally anything, so, what they are doing is making it very difficult to talk to a woman without being branded a sex pest.

I thought most women took it as a compliment anyway, depending on the type of whistle. I don't think you'd get away with "(whistle) here girl, come on then, there's a good girl"

All my mates do that as well. We're all in our early 20's, and none of us are married. Since when did your girlfriend become your 'missus'??

I'm in my early 20s too and likewise. It's become the standard response...girlfriends don't seem to exist any more

No, no, I am deadly serious. Deadly. Serious.

As long as they don't ban that it's fine.

Heck, I'd wear a T-shirt with that on it.



Might change the words a little...

The only thing worse than being whistled at from a building site, is not being whistled at from a building site.
