Stalked by a culture of misogyny
From The Age article By Melanie La'Brooy, May 22, 2006

Good greif. Check the author of that piece.
You know, I happened across this thing. And it got onto the fathers4equality email list. You gotta wonder if the woman realizes most men think the guys leering and cat-calling her are just a bunch of childish jerks?
I don't remember cat-calling anybody in my whole life, except for a few friends or lovers who I wanted to tell how good they looked.

She is giving an example of misogyny. Her article is one.
Yes, the men who offended her are childish. When they grow up and have a real relationship, then they'll be ashamed of this behaviour. Yes, men do grow up, despite the misogynistic claims of authors like Ms La’Brooy.

But she is just encouraging the behaviour by generalizing to include all men, feeding her ego more than anything else -- and encouraging the juvenile men she seems to surround herself with.

This could be an example of BPD, or as I first learned it, the Transactional Analysis game "Let's you and him fight." She wants "everyone" to condemn "men". -- Neither "everyone" nor "men" are accurately defined here.
She's twisted reality to suit her purposes. (misogyny, BPD) And she wants to sound noble and dignified, yet you gotta wonder who she hangs out with. Most of the men I know don't act like anyone she's described.

Essentially, despite the fact that some men in some workplaces do cat-call women, the woman is simply hate-mongering.
Melanie La'Brooy is an author promoting her new book, pretty much based on from 'Sex in the City’ according to the reviews online. I guess book sales aren't going too well, so she decided to round up a little dust from her imagination.

As was said about some of the second-rate movies at Cannes:
"Shock value evidently sells, though, and critics will always argue that the desire to shock has outweighed artistic integrity," British movie trade magazine Screen International said.

.Wanna bet Ms La'Brooy never heard a cat call?
I suppose a little hate-mongering well within the popular mythology is a good public relations tactic for an author.
