Sounds like you are the one making a lot of assumptions as a way to discredit the very real and often damaging experiences that most women routinely have. Being "appreciated" as an object and not as a person is dehumanizing and often scary. It's a part of rape culture.

According to the ILR School of Cornell University, 77 percent of women under 40 have been followed by a group of men in the last year. Another 50 percent of women under 40 have been physically attacked or groped by a street harasser.

Scientific research reveals that catcalling can have a detrimental effect on the mental and physical wellbeing of women. Women who report being objectified on a more frequent basis report greater body shame as well as symptoms of disordered eating and depression.
