How it feels like to walk in the street as a woman in your country ? Hi girls, I'm a french guy, and in my country I'm really shocked by how women are bothered in public places by bunchs of idiots men. Many guys are used to whistle to girls, at first wierdly complimenting, and then insulting them when they are ignored. Some other guys are very irrespectfull and loudly speak about the woman shape ... To illustrate what I'm telling, here is a classical case : - dumbass : "Hé mademoiselle, t'es charmante ! t'as un 06 ?" - woman : "..." ignoring the dumb - dumbass : "hé sale pute, dis merci quand j'te fais un compliment ! t'es moche en plus" which can be grossly translated in english as : - dumbass : "Hi miss, you are charming ! you have a phone number ? " - woman : "..." ignoring dumb - dumbass : " hi bitch, say thank you when I'm telling you a compliment ! fuckin' ugly " So that is a real problem in France for women.. I hope that's not the case everwhere else . It would be cool if you share how is it going in your country. bye

I'm from Serbia and here it's pretty much the same. It's like men expect that every girl they whistle at or call out to smile and be grateful that they even looked at you, like they were doing you (the girl) a favor for even noticing you. It's weird and very disrespectful.

*That kind of thing does not happen a lot in America. Women are usually treated respectfully. The exception would be in some poorer parts of some cities.
