Fed up with wolf-whistles? One solution.

PTRMAN · May 22nd, 2008

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles. The Israeli tourist was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported. She calmly stripped off, used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.
The woman told police she didn't take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road. "She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA. "She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said. "She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."

Uh, where is that kind of behaviour appropriate? I'd like to book my next vacation!

If that had been a man he would have been thrown in Jail.

I don't think road workers, even in NZ, would be likely to whistle at a man....

But you're probably right - good looking women can get away with a lot that the rest of us can't.

And I'm okay with that. Arresting her would only serve to discourage other attractive women not to strip in public.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It's discrimination, just because she is a pretty female she gets treated different? That's BS, same laws apply to everyone. She is lucky she didn’t get raped.

It's the way of the world, my friend. Not saying it is fair, but that's just how it is.

Well then. If my choice is seeing you naked or having discrimination, I choose the later.
