    I just went to look for the catcalling article you mentioned (it’s this one) and she is obviously not “complaining” about not getting catcalled. Instead, she’s talking about how her ageing affects her sense of self-worth. Her getting catcalled less often is only the impetus of this reflection, not the actual source of her negative feelings.

      I’m pretty sure the subtitle of this article was altered since the initial release. The first one was something like “I feel worse now that I’m not being catcalled, and I hate the patriarchy for making me feel that way”.

      Her articles generally consisted of some valid points on feminism mixed with absolutely outrageous statements and claims. The latter was intentionally designed to offend, because the mid 2010s was the peak ragebait era for news.

      As a sidenote I think a huge portion of toxicity in the culture war is just bad faith actors trying to use it to make a profit.
