I think it's just a way for the more Neanderthal man to get his kicks in a safe, private space where he can make an easy getaway. As though the car offers some temporary solace from the 21st century world they don't really belong in. Quite sad really.
I experienced the reversal of this earlier this week, stuck at a red light in Wimbledon when two girls crossing whistled and shouted "what's your number?" - 101 bitches?
Not really - I'd be stuck on 2 for quite a while and they were nice and friendly so I smiled back - but it's an interesting double standard on my part!
