Ladies and gentlemen, it's sexual harassment season

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing


Look out people, it's that time once again. Time for warm weather, skimpy outfits, and horny dudes in cars whistling at women as they pass by on the street. Yup, now it's official. According to a researcher at George Washington University, the number of women getting harassed/flattered by catcalling goes through the roof in the spring and early summer. Of course -- if you happen to be a woman -- you probably already knew that.

We're not sure if it actually an ingrained human response to mating season, or just the fact the it's been a few months since most of these guys got to see a woman in a tank top. Whatever the reason, if you happen to like getting yelled at by sweat construction workers- and apparently some women do -- now's the time to prance around in those short shorts.

If you live in NYC, you have a way to get revenge on catcalling meat-heads, it's a website where women snap pictures of the abusers and post them. Hilarious!
