[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you just stay home? You sound anti-social and easily annoyed by people. I had a baby seven months ago and loved all the compliments![/quote]
You remind me of my mom when I complained about street harassment. "When you're old you'll look back fondly on it." Well I'm 40 and I'm still waiting. [/quote]

Yeah street harassment by leering men and complimenting a post partum mom are totally the same thing. [/quote]
It's exactly the same in that the harasser/complimenter feel their attention should be held with universal flattery. [/quote]

No. I got compliments from people I chose to socialize with (and I believe them because yes I did lose the postpartum weight relatively quickly). I've been subjected to street harassment (lived in the mideast for years) and it is absolutely not the same. [/quote]
Ok? And some people like random attention from strange men, like my mother. It's still not appropriate to shotgun spray uninvited comments about body appearance. [/quote]

I don't think you or your mother have actually been catcalled, or you would have known what it feels like to be unsafe in that moment. I love my family and friends and when I was postpartum I appreciated their support, even if it wasn't exactly the type of support I preferred. Nothing they say would ever make me feel unsafe.
