Maybe you live somewhere other than where the Internet feminists live. I wouldn't be surprised if the prevalence of such behaviours varied by an order of magnitude from one region to another, even within the western world.
EDIT: Indeed, a couple months ago an Italian friend of mine living in Barcelona posted something on Facebook about being constantly catcalled whenever she went in a particular district, from which I guess it hadn't happened to her (or hadn't happened that often) elsewhere.
I can't say I recall ever hearing men participating in catcalling. I live near St. Louis, but in a rural area.
I agree that regional variations are likely.
A problem with reporting on all the bad interactions is that you don't get a feeling for how common they are (just that they aren't extremely rare), let alone much detail about demographic features.
