Fashion is cause of cat-calling

I’m sure I will receive plenty of replies denouncing me for this letter. Various “politically correct” groups will waste no time calling me a sexist pig. Anyway, though, here it goes.

Lately, there has been a lot of opinion press on the evils of cat-calling. Innocent, church-going women just trying to stay in shape are being vulgarized by immature loudmouth men. What is a woman to do to stop such harassment? The answer, my fellow Spartans, is very simple. Women joggers who do not want to be harassed follow my simple plan: Instead of wearing the tightest cropped tank top you can buy in Gap, try wearing a normal T-shirt. Instead of wearing shorts that could easily pass for panties, try wearing normal running shorts. By wearing next to nothing and running down Grand River Avenue, how can you not expect attention? Or is it that you want the attention? Simply put, if you do not want men cat-calling, then do not act like Dejá Vu dancers.
