I'm not a hot woman. So pure speculation here. I often hear ladies complain about cat calls. They have to like it at some level. What if it magically stopped? I think they would wonder what is wrong with them.
I once got cat called by a group of gay guys. I admit mixed feelings

. I was flattered. Haha. And happy I was working out with my hot female friend Maria. She said" flattery is flattery".
