Maybe its different for a bloke I dont know, but I cant help thinking people take some stuff too seriously.
OP says "street harassment", and shouting at people in the street is, of course, harassment of people in the street, and does indeed constitute street harassment, pretty much by definition. And yes, lots of men think the same way you do. Did you read #2 on lucyh's 2-point list of reading materials? Here's another one that might not help: http://www.robot-hugs.com/harassment/

The comments you describe I dont think can be described as sexual harassment. Fair enough when physical contact is involved, then that's ott but not just light hearted comments?
Ive had quite a few of the standard lycra based comments (sometimes a 'nice arse' if im lucky) which I would ignore or just say the usual thanks with a thumbs up. Maybe its different for a bloke I dont know, but I cant help thinking people take some stuff too seriously.
