I was a late bloomer as well and now at 50, I find the cat calls and male attention in general annoying at best and at worst, it pisses me off (if done in a creepy way), but I'm an adult and can handle it. I can't even imagine the fear, etc. you have for your daughter. She's a child, children aren't equipped to handle that stuff, because they're, well, children. My husband and I were routinely stopped by people remarking how gorgeous our boys were (and they were), but it's different, the same concern just wasn't there. Doesn't your story just encapsulate what's wrong with society!
