Wolf Whistles and Cat Calls, hopefully things of the past.
Often from males who were hackneyed and leery,
They rendered females as subservient objects.
Degrading, intimidating, gratuitous and eerie.

Let’s turn the tables for a moment or two.
Imagine women intimidating men in this way.
What would their response be do you think?
Maybe an odd buffoon might like to be seen as prey.

But I expect most men would be antagonised,
Feeling destabilized and diluted.
Being credited just for their looks,
Rather than all their attributes being saluted.

Perhaps if we want to give out accolades,
Be sure they are not humiliating or demeaning.
Make them affirmations for the right reasons.
Run your intentions through some sort of screening.
