it happens relatively rarely and is not the part of everyday life for most women in the US. Chances are that almost every single woman has been sexually objectified at some point, hell, the same could be said for men, but I'm just talking about the level portrayed by the cartoon. I don't personally know any guys who would say stuff like that to women, or any guy who would be like the one in the last posting. I know that they do exist. But the cartoon seems to portray it as though it is a "male" societal problem, rather than just an asshole problem. I think that all of the elements shown in the cartoon are pretty clearly opposed by society at large. This is a battle that has been won. The people who act like that are seen as assholes and in some cases can have suits brought against them. Doesn't mean that it still isn't a problem, but the perception by males in society does not fit what the cartoon seems to imply. The perception of men in the cartoon is, IMHO, wrong.
