Sometimes the guy is honestly trying to give an innocent complement with no intention. But when an innocent complement is given by a stranger who is bigger and stronger than you in a situation where you have no escape, it’s hard to take at face value. Just imagine if Godzilla was giving you the same complement. Do you feel threatened?
I saw a womens college basketball player get catcalled once. She smiled and waved. She did not feel threatened because she could definitely kick anyones ass. There was also a show that dressed up moms and walked them by catcallers who were their sons (who didn’t recognize them). If you’re just giving a complement, what’s wrong with saying it to your mom? (the moms smacked the crap out of their sons)
The reason for a two year delay is many. First I wanted to make sure that I have time to fully deal with any problems or complications before doing comics about it. There was and will be a lot of really hard stuff that I may not be willing to share at the time but is very important to talk about because a lot of people go through it. The delay lets me handle what I need to and process it before making it public.  Also, this kid is eventually going to have an opinion about what I share about them. I want to give them time to live their life without being a punchline. It’s a lot easier to laugh about the things you did two years ago rather than what you did yesterday.
