I started getting catcalled as early as age 12 - it's disgusting. Whether a man is doing it intentionally to degrade you or if they think they're actually complimenting, it's frustrating all the same. There is absolutely nothing flattering about being literally hollered at on the street, and sometimes I want to actually kick someone in the face. But instead of getting frustrated, I've decided to turn the tables. Here are 10 ways I catcall men or respond to their catcalls:

1. "Damn shorty"

2. "God bless you Papi"

3. "Damn your girl let you out the house lookin like THAT?"

4. "Yo you got a boyfriend?"

5. "Give me a smile. You'd look so much prettier if you smiled"

6. "What's your hurry, babe? Where you goin?"

7. Wolf whistle

8. "Wow, nice legs"

9. Lick your lips and rub your hands together and say "damn boy.. I mean damn"

10. "You're gonna ignore me? You're not even that cute anyway"

They usually don't know what to say. It makes them uncomfortable. But there's always the few weirdos who don't actually pick up on the sarcasm. This is when you walk away.

There's a time and a place for this. Men can be extremely aggressive and retaliate, so I'm not necessarily advising you to do any of this. If you do, be careful. But even just thinking these things when a man passes you by can give you a good laugh. And really, that's what it's all about.
