I mean, ask most women the youngest they can remember being harassed by an adult man, and a lot of them will say younger than 14. The first time I can remember getting catcalled I was probably 12. I've heard from women who developed early who got it as young as like 10. This isn't the exception; it's the rule.

I get that this young girls get hit on/harassed/cat called, etc. all the time. My issue with the example that I was referring to was very specific in the cartoonish nature of a person running a shop, with a professional reputation and financial stability on the line, openly being so overly crude and then not only is that accepted, but joined in like some cult mantra of a bunch of guys chanting it over and over again at the girl. That /very specific/ example seems very, very far fetched to me, due to what I see as a very common aversion in the general populace towards the sexual predation of children. I mean, even in prison, child molesters are the anathema and in the most danger from other inmates. I don't doubt, for a minute, that a shopkeeper could/would say something gross and inappropriate to a young girl, but I'd be more apt to believe that they'd say it in private, for the sake of being able to deny having said it.
