Women wearing normal clothes often get harassed in areas where the bulk of the women are covered-up, inside, or otherwise protected from men, who are then free to harass any woman who walks by. <br /><br />It's particularly shocking for me, since I am in my 50s and long past the age at which American men whistle, cat-call or otherwise harass. <br /><br />I'd think if there were a requirement to be respectful, it would make the women and their male relatives more comfortable going without all the drapery. saonoreply@blogger.com
