I suppose that is because on the street no-one is responsible particularly to deal with these things, and people otherwise seem to just brush it under the carpet. I've even had conversations with women I knew who tried to convince me that I shouldn't be so angry, that it's a natural part of life, that I need to learn some new tactics like flirting back as a way of getting the upper hand! I usually consider most things that are said to me, but no- I'm not cool with it and I'm not having it.
