Following comment from mumsnet is bang on

"Imagine how empty the streets would be after 9pm if they imposed a curfew on young men who shout the far far far worse stuff at young girls and women every single day.

But street harassment of women is, apparently, not a hate crime".

After 9 PM? What paradise does that mumsnet poster live in? /s

When I was young (and by "young" I mean < 55) I was harassed on the street from morning till...

I still get men commenting on my body at the gym. So to all you women who are thinking you become invisible at a certain age, I haven't hit that age yet and I'm old.

9 p.m. refers to the curfew that was imposed on the teen. The mumsnet poster is commenting on the fact that males in the UK can harass women and girls without any punishment whatsoever.
