Wolf whistle works, woman strips
2008-05-23
Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.
Damn. I gotta try that.
The Israeli tourist was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

She calmly stripped off, used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.

The woman told police she didn't take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road. "She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA. "She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said. "She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."
"Here in Kerikeri we don't look at bosoms, Miss."

#6  I cannot believe such a story without some authentication.

#5  Agreed with Anonymoose. The very calmness of her demeanor and the fact that she's Israeli are the two deciding points for me. Wanna bet she was a martial arts instructor for the IDF or something?

#4  She must have been blonde.

Should have been "Show me yours, I'll show you mine".

Would have been more effective, imho. Better, they'd have been visiting the station, not her.

#3  Actually, I think her technique was a good one. That is, wolf whistling as a group is truly "juvenile" male behavior. That is, its purpose is male fraternization, not sexual; they are impressing their peers.

By her stripping, she takes away the impersonality of their behavior and makes herself a person to their group. This breaks up their game. In the future, they will probably be much more reserved about women walking by.

#2  Meanwhile there is a sharp increase in the number of wolf whistles heard in New Zealand immediately following the incident....

FYI - there are no good pic's at the link - I've looked...

#1  Give them what they want and then just walk away. Hmmm, where have I heard of that strategy being used before? Jimmie Carter. Yes! that's it. But it didn't work out so well for him. I guess that he just doesn't have the body to achieve success by that method. Pity.
