Pauline is taking your calls on whether or not wolf whistling should be considered sexual harassment.
- Davie, Bo'ness: I drove for a Grangemouth Timber firm in the nineties. Company drivers were issued with new uniforms. The feminine colour brought on wolf whistles from certain MALE individuals within building sites, especially. Guess where the uniform ended up?
- Barney, Neilston: Generally wolf whistles are just a bit of harmless fun - at least the 'wolves' aren't growling! As a guy, what is REALLY frightening is to come across a predatory pack of female hyenas on a hen night in Newcastle.
- Mo, Edinburgh: Wolf whistling is aggressive and unwanted usually. The building trade needs to address it through advice and education or risk their company reputation.
- Ian, Torrence: MADNESS . PC gone mad! Offence??? Wolf whistles doesn't hurt. Folk should calm down.
