[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snoozin: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [b] I agree that the level of harassment in the West isn’t the same as it is here, but how many western women complain that men are “only out for one thing.” Is that just another way of expressing the same lack of respect?[/b][/QUOTE] I do agree with that in many respects. There's disrespect/harassment everywhere, just in different forms. I grew up in a Western culture and I know how to handle men who are disrespectful to me here, although it generally is in a more personal, one-on-one setting. Not so much *street* harassment as what people are describing. Here (US), men are generally more likely to say something rude at work, alone in an office, or in an elevator alone with you, or something like that. I know how to deal with that. I don't know how to deal with men harassing me on the street other than to ignore them. But my mother always said, "you teach people how to treat you." Meaning, if you put up with bad behavior, it will continue. If you demand respect, you'll get it. That works for me most of the time. <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> [/QB][/QUOTE]
