So it’s a beautiful summer day and you, as a confident woman, put on some weather appropriate clothing. Whether you’re out for a run or out doing errands, at this time of year clothing tends to be more skin-revealing. You don’t think much of it and then suddenly you’re met with catcalls, whistling, kissing sounds, et cetera when you pass a group of men. When the layers come off, the catcalling increases. What you find is that your summer clothing has become an invitation for men to gawk at you and harass you with inappropriate comments.

Question: Do groups of men still whistle and make catcalls at passing women? Or is UI Argonaut columnist Anne-Marije Rook being dramatic here?
