HOW ridiculous to try and make wolf whistles a hate crime.

When I was 18, I was involved in a car accident and my head was smashed into the windscreen (they were made of glass at that time).

I was horrified at the state of my face, with my eye and mouth stitched, and I lost lots of confidence.

Later, I was walking past some guys, they were builders and they wolf whistled at me. Can I just say how delighted I was and how my much depleted confidence started to return.

Men get a raw deal these days, women are allowed to lust after Poldark star Aiden Turner, for example, but if men behaved in this way towards a woman they would be in trouble.

It is so unfair, it will get 
to the stage when men will 
stop being tactile and end up being afraid to give a woman a hug.

What a sorry state of affairs.
