Why. Like several of you have discussed in the thread: I was a young male at the time, filled with testosterone, 6'5" in good shape and recently having my compulsory military service... it's difficult to intimidate me physically. As you said, this was phone calls, but the location was well known and at least the stalker was both aware and nearby so the possibility of real confrontation was possible. I did not think the stalker or anyone else would bring a gun or anything, she was not talking that way. I think the possibility of a physical confrontation generally is more intimidating to a woman due to physical differences such as size and muscle mass, yet I know of female soldiers who would not be scared for anyone. (Generalisations aren't wrong just because there are exceptions, one just have to understand the difference between the two.)

Considering the examples in the thread's article, I am appalled but not really surprised. I think the "beautiful" woman also serves as an example of a woman who would get many favours from her beauty. Both beautiful women and men gets benefits in work from their looks and the lewd comments could be the other side of the coin. (quick google result: https://businessinsider.com/studies-show-the-advantages-of-b...) I appreciated the article writers diligent comparisons of faces and loved the use of the cat.
