Reply #17: It's a male ego game

[Lydia Leftcoast]

Note that

1) It usually happens with men or boys in groups, sometimes a car full of them.

2) It never happens when the woman is in the company of a man.

3) It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like.

I was once standing on a corner in the middle of the afternoon waiting for a bus with two other women. Of the three of us, I was the youngest at 50, and the other two were ten to twenty years older. There was nothing unusual about the way we were dressed.

But along comes a car full of boneheads, and the ones on the passenger side lean out and say things like, "Ooh, baby, baby, give me some of that loving" and "You'd love the taste of my dick."

Since all of us had encountered this kind of idiocy way too many times in our lives, we just ignored them.

The object of the game is to get a reaction from the woman, preferably one of annoyance or embarrassment or fear. They all try, and the one who gets a reaction gains prestige in the eyes of his knuckle-dragging peers.
