There was no cat-calling in this case, so why bring that up? I suppose you could mention also that it's not okay to rape your co-workers too. Kinda disingenuous though, isn't it? Bringing it up in the context of this story implies that it happened.

My mistake (noticed when I went back to quote the article), I misread:

> What I did have a problem with is the line of men sitting on one bench facing the hoopers and gawking at them

as

> What I did have a problem with is the line of men sitting on one bench facing them, hollering and gawking at them

But the point remains. Although it's a bit less in severity than I first realized.
