It's often hard for guys to understand this but when women are constantly objectified in many situations for their whole life, and when women are trying to break free of this sexual objectification and be seen as a person, it's not something that you want to hear reinforced.
When I get whistled at I never ever feel complimented or proud of my body. I always feel awkward and embarrassed, and afraid that they're going to come up to me and try something.
It's also scary because a lot of rape scenarios often begin with guys whistling or yelling out things that imply the woman is a piece of meat. And rape is still a pressing issue if you are a woman, more so than if you are a man. So it's not something as a girl you want to hear.
EDIT: Like NND said, it makes you feel vulnerable...

When you put it into that perspective I understand your point of view a lot more clearly.
But again, it's another thing that's true for both sexes, women can treat men like pieces of meat too, granted these women don't have as much control over the media and if you're a man you don't have to worry so much about getting raped.
That's certainly one plus to being a dude I can't deny.

Do you mean guys treat them as if they were guys or that they're unfairly considered d
