I just wanted to add a different perspective on your comment about men.
In recent years (meaning last 30 years) where women are living more independent and are gaining more rights, some men can't accept the reality that women are more than just something to whistle at. These men you were talking about who called you over, well they need to understand that you are a person and not an object. As for the respect issue, a lot of men, especially when they are in groups with other men, they really like to go overboard with the comments.
I am a guy, and I sometime hate the way some of my friends treat some women. I do go out of my way to tell them that what they are doing is wrong, but some don't care or listen. It will take some time for men to listen but until then there will be a backlash toward women for sometime.
