I am married with three daughters (18, 19, 22) my wife and youngest daughter run marathons for a hobby, the other two 1/2 marathoons, fun runs and the like. They run 4/5 times a week. Additionally my youngest is a keen cyclist, commuting with me to 6th form, and now work.
They are all constantly bombarded with comments ranging from the fairly witty to the downright insulting/abusive. It has reached the point where they are unwilling to run alone.
I have even been cycling with my youngest when she has been subject to "street harrassment".
All in all it is not clever, or funny. It can lead to people becoming frightened to follow their interests.
101 wankers is totally believable from my experience, and just lists the unacceptable and threatening behaviour that is seen, by some, as clever.
