What do men who "Catcall" expect to happen?

As a guy who has catcalled, this is bullshit. It's not even about the woman. It's about my buddies standing around me. It's to get attention and demonstrate that I'm "alpha" enough to try and pick up a random girl on a whim.

It's also to draw their attention to her, sort of like if we were deer hunting or watching cars like "Oh man look at the one I spotted over there!" Then I gain a bit of status as having a good eye.

It's not about wanting access to their body or patriarchy or any of that SJW shit. Women give themselves too much credit, it's barely about them at all. If she walked up and asked me if I wanted to have sex, sure, let's go - that goes for pretty much any woman under 150lbs that looks clean. That never happens though and I know it's not going to. I do it because it's fun to point out nice things like cars, women and a decent beer. It's about bonding with my friends, not harassing the woman. If she feels that way it's an unintended and unfortunate side effect, she just needs to toughen up a little and stop being so sensitive.
