Rules about sexual harrassment are meant to protect people in the workplace from having people with power over them take sexual advantage of them. If a man is just shouting out at a woman on the street, he doesn't have any power over her, and he isn't coercing her, just annoying her.
If he's touching her or threatening her, that could be a crime, depending on local laws. Just saying "Yo, baby, get in my car!" or whatever is just rude, not criminal.
