You keep using the word proscription and I think maybe that's where the hang up is.

Here in the US, proscribed means something has been condemned or someone is banished. Legally, it generally has to do with the state seizing property of the condemned. It's also used in the reading of charges when someone is sentenced to death. In the context of sociology, it has to do with a decree of banishment or death.

Okay, well...you can't proscribe fireworks from an airplane without some form of check, which airlines have sonprscribe works there.

But no man is being exiled for catcalling. You're not being sentenced to death over it either. As I said in my earlier comment, the law in the books is not being enforced in any meaningful way.

So where's the proscription? Even having something as a law for deterrent doesn't effectively ban people from doing it. People still murder too, even though it's generally frowned upon and there are consequences for doing so. You don't have people following you around physically prepared to prevent you from doing so if you chose to and we generally don't prosecute thought crimes. Every single one of has the right to do whatever we want. Nothing is stopping us. We do or do not based upon our own moral code, our fear of retribution (legal or extra legal consequences), or some other form of blow back or calculation.

But we're not being barred or banned or watched in any manner to ensure we go along with a proscription like sneaking candy into a movie theater. There's no one watching, lurking, or ready to kick you out of town if you get caught catcalling.

So I'm unsure how you think it is that I personally am issuing some sort of proscription to men in how to behave by pointinfnout that certain things are unlikely to yield the results you say you want.
