Ugh Sexist

That didn't sit well with me either. Bad, clueless writing.

Really? You can't see how people attracted to the show in the first season because of Montgomery's physical appearance were not severely disappointed by her hugeness in the last season? Even when they, not the audience, refused to show her from the midrif down, her massive shoulders and gigantic breasts were so far beyond a size six as to be absurd. The overt sexist objectivism was a feint used to misdirect the viewer from the current corpus to the memory of past beauty.

Is it anti-feminist to say that a woman covets attention, or at the least, are receptive to being given attention? Each female is different, and depending on the time of the day, the time of the month, the time of the year, modulated attention might be welcomed.

Obviously, men should not direct catcalls to all the women who walk past before them. The difficult part is determining which of those women are seeking attention.

I agree. That whole scene were cringeworthy and I don't get how it could gone past a review and even a first draft. Someone must have been in a real hurry to end this season!!

I couldn't help comparing this with what recently happened in Germany, and this whole scene generally illustrated what this group, and type(no, not all) of men think of single women and what they believe is socially acceptable - and I guess A&E TV and the writers of the show approves of this!!

Going beyond the valid point cosmic surveyor has made (the issue being individuality), you may have forgotten, that Carrie Wells is also promiscuous, and a high risk taker. She has some fellow in her life, whom she likes, but isn't a proponent or any form of a spokesperson for any other woman, something she always was right from her conception on paper.

What she did is morally questionable, actually her remark on taking action against such people would halt the construction business is even more sadly on point. I don't endorse or condone it, but I have to live with the fact, that people, including women don't give 2 flying ....s, because their focus is on their own lives. One could say, the situation is but the symptom on the perception of individuality in America. Rousseau's guideline was "my freedom ends, where yours begin" which is counteractive with the general perception of how the Bill of Rights shall be interpreted. Most people know by heart, that the first 10 amendments contain restrictions on the powers of the federal government, but it takes an attentive alumni to not forget it also contains restrictions for the citizen, and organizations. If anyone only tries strong policing, representatives would lose their sh*t, decrying federal overreach and needless additional rights for women, even though it wouldn't be more, than actually enforcing the constitution. On a general note, people doing menial work their whole lives won't become constitutional scholars or social activists achieving proactive things for the community. After the communists suppressed the uprising in Berlin in 1953, Bertolt Brecht wrote a sarcastic poem about maybe the people in power need to impeach society. These workers making catcalls well into adulthood aren't people in a very enabling culture, who will be deterred by potential sentences.

Most women not batting an eye over this are either self styled pillars of their community, or stay at home moms, who don't like the thought, that other women push for a system, where their position would be electable, it's way more complex, than those guys at the site, and just maybe the writers know this as well.

Isn't Poppy currently pregnant? Wouldn't that be a good reason for her huge breasts and wide shoulders? Seriously, are these posters really fat-shaming a pregnant woman?!?! I am so sick of this obsession over female body types and sizes. How are little girls supposed to grow up with a healthy normal view of themselves? It's disgusting how society and social media make it okay to criticize females, especially when they usually don't even know the female they're slamming! Those in glass houses.......

I agree with the original post about the cat-calling and the irresponsible writers thinking thats okay, because it never is, certainly should never be encouraged and should never be considered acceptable behavior.

I'd have to disagree with you or at least say you don't speak for all women. I don't find all catcalls offensive and generally take them as a compliment as long as they aren't lewd. Talking about what you'd like to stick where is not flattering, nor are comments about my body parts. And definitely no crotch grabbing or simulating sex. All of those are harrassment, disrespectful and would make me uncomfortable. But there was none of that in the ones made to Carrie. It was mainly some wolf whistles and a few woohoos.

Wow, a strong woman who's comfortable with her sexuality and confident in her daily life? Blasphemy! How dare they depict women as anything but the fragile little victims that women clearly are! Obviously, she should cover up, a full body armour sounds good. She should be ashamed of her sexuality and just go hide in the nearest corner if a man is around. And when those construction workers catcalled her? Clearly, she should have run away in tears and refused to leave the house for a week.

Third wave feminism: Turning women into perpetual defenceless victims so the ideology can justify its existence.

If anything is sexist, it's YOU.
