Do men who cat call deserve forgiveness?

This article is a reader's response to Marisa Crous's column, 5  things "modern-men" still don't get about women.

I wish that I can apologise for all these rude men but they don't deserve it. It's sad but I think that cat-calling will never end, not because I'm a pessimist but because I don't think that these neanderthals are going to stop making babies soon.

And the fact that women still get paid less is just a disgrace. I don't know how this will change. I'm definitely a feminist and I discuss these points on a regular basis with all my female friends but I'm not going to go into detail now.

I believe that there are strong and weak ones in both sexes and that will never change. Being one of the strong ones, please never give up and stand your ground, we're proud of you.

A lot of men and women do not understand feminism. They see it as sexism and now that you started writing about it why don't you continue writing more regularly on the topic?

I know that I'm not the only one that would enjoy it and there's a lot of people that needs to see the true meaning of feminism so that they can understand and change.

Be bold and heroic for all of us.
