Jtur88 is sooper sad that he can’t catcall women in this day and age.

Would that be a catcall? I grew up in the Dark Ages, when women appreciated well-meant compliments, but I’m having a hard time keeping up with the shifting boundaries. And the presumptions of misogyny until proved innocent.

How dare these modern women not understand that he, a MAN, is just trying to give them a compliment! And then he doubles down with this lovely comment:
