You sound like one of my co workers. "This doesn't offend me. I don't understand why it should bother you."

  If something may offend you, it will. There are a lot of people around who would like to hurt you for cheap - and they're not going away.

    >Words should make you laugh, especially when uttered by someone clearly inferior. If all women adopt this mentality then catcalling will no longer be an issue!

    There's offense and then there's denying one's humanity. That word represents the later which elicits a far more harsh response than mere offense. I'm sorry you can't see the difference.

      That's for you. For the offenders these words are as cheap as any other. They just got a good weapon on you.

  I go two ways on this. Yes, it's offensive. Stronger: It's morally wrong. It should bother not just you; it should bother everyone. It's not OK, it's not acceptable, and it should not be accepted by anyone. But I don't think that was guard-of-terra's point. His/her point, as I understand it, was that it's unfortunately all over the place, and you're going to run into it. How are you, personally, going to respond to it? If you're going to try to fight every battle that comes your way, you're going to be miserable, exhausted, and probably depressed. That's no way to live. For your own sake, for your own ability to function, you need to be able to just shrug it off sometimes - or, even better, laugh at it, as guard-of-terra said.
