What You Looking At?

I saw this picture on Blank Noise Project.

I have to admit that this is smart! But ladies if you're smart enough to come up with such a nifty idea, certainly you should be aware expecting that men won't stare at you is like hoping for the sun to rise from the west. I admit men in this region have to be taught the difference between a glance, an "I'm interested" and "scaring the hell out" or "making the subject sick" look. Beat the crap out of their asses to make them respect women, if that's what needs to be done, I will support you with all my heart and my boots Wink . But you cannot take away thousands of years of biological instinct. However, eyes don't say a bad word, eyes don't make lewd gestures, it is not eyes that molest or rape…

I support Blank Noise Project and its core objectives. However I do not agree with the last action listed on the banner image of their blog and believe it should not be classified as Eve Teasing.

I beg to disagree. By saying it's a biological instinct and should be excused, you are agreeing with very first step of harassment. I choose not to be treated as some object and be un-dressed with eyes. There are lots of instincts but we control them because we live in civilized society. I'm disappointed by this post of yours...

That's why I said there's a difference between:

a glance

an "I'm interested" and

"scaring the hell out" or "making the subject sick" look.

The staring combined with the body language of the guy/guys would be responsible for making a woman uncomfortable or feel harassed. I never implied if a guy's staring makes someone uncomfortable it should be excused. Why would I write about Hungry Wolves, if I said it was OK?
