An anon said it better in a comment below, about figuring it's "annoying assholes being annoying" as opposed to feeling hurt. Maybe that's why the guys' figures were lower? Because for me I'd also have said "no" if asked if I'd ever been harassed in the street, unless given this definition to work off of (and had it specifically pointed out to me that "feeling annoyed" was enough to count).

DA

Interesting take on it. I would say I'm a reasonably conventionally attractive woman (ie white, pretty, not thin but not fat, more proportionately curvy) and I've been called a slut several times by guys yelling at me from cars as I was walking on the street - sometimes at night while wearing revealing clothing, and sometimes during the day in everyday clothes. And while I've bever been particularly bothered or hurt by it and thought the guys were idiots, I still consider it street harassment because the intent was to unsettle and insult me, even if it wasn't personal as such. I also call it hatassment because I don't think that sort of behaviour should be normalised. But yeah, that's my take on it.

I mean, yes I'd call yelling slut at someone an act of harassment, or an act of a harasser, but if all it inspires in the person it's being yelled at is mild annoyance and confusion, it seems... sort of unsuccessful at hitting its target.

Are you a victim of bullying if someone attempts to bully you and fails? (That's happened to me before too.) I'd still call the bully a bully, but would you call the other person a victim?
