Is wolf-whistling a sex crime?

He's 85 and still dishy
(am I allowed to say that?)

"Laughter the best medicine " used to be the title of the jokes section of Readers' Digest, it has certainly worked for me in the last 5 minutes.

Me too! I am literally laughing as I type!

as long as you looked and admired and didn't whistle or comment Soutra

(That was a lighthearted riposte which in no way reflects my views on a serious discussion.)
going back to my cupboard cleaning now.

First time I have actually laughed on GN for a while!

And if he had shouted it Ana it would have been in a mellifluous Shakespearean baritone I expect!

I really thought better of Captain von Trapp! Especially in genteel Stratford.

Oh I see - X posts!

Did he sing too?
Oh dear, I used to think Christopher Plummer was so sexy-expect I shouldn't say that on this thread

Oh, the joy of crossed posts!

Saw it at Stratford with captain Von Trapp playing Richard.
Unforgettable performance.

If a man shouted, across the road, to a woman, "I like your tits", would that be a sex crime?

I doubt that comes under being a sex crime.
It might be harassment though? Though not sure if it is a one off.

It goes back to is it the flirty fun sort or the other sort.

I do think that young people are not aware of how bad a crime has to be before there are any serious legal consequences.

Oh yes, I see, sorry!

I was meaning Shakespeare's time, not Richard III's - sorry, didn't make that clear. He was writing about that time but I think from an Elizabethan perspective!

Virgin

And weren't they Yorkists then, not Elizabethans?

(I, too, need to get out more...)

Richard III Act 1 Sc1 lines 12 and 13
And before you say it, I know I need to get a life out more!!

Lascivious lot, those Elizabethans
Even with a virgin Queen as a moral standard!

There is a fine line between slightly sleazy behaviour and open admiration and some men don't realise when they have crossed that line and I think some women are not sure where to draw the line anyway.

Richard II? Or Richard III ?
?

A little known playwright called Shakespeare.
Richard 1. Opening speech

!!!

story sorry!

Capers nimbly in a ladies chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute!
Story, off post but just thought of it

My God petallus! I would have pedalled for England! scary!

Soontobe- The Bodyline test series was one where in order to win bowlers bowled effectively at the man not the wicket en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodyline

I so agree about objectification and lascivious behaviour being unacceptable no matter which sex is doing it. I don't mind people looking, I don't mind people admiring phyical attributes. I do mind when comments are made which depersonalize and objectify the person they are looking at.
There are obviously a number of people on this thread who don't mind these things, and they are entitled to their views, just as I am entitled to mine.

Not that I have been around men watching strippers, possibly they go slack jawed or just drool.

No men guffaw
