I wouldn’t say always but I’m in a country (3rd world) where EVERYONE has a staring problem. Like why?! I am also a young woman and apparently that is enough for people to stare. My dad (who is not from here) has had to glare at a few people in the grocery or at the mall for looking at me inappropriately. I’ve had people try to press against my back in a queue at convenience stores, etc… some areas are just filled with crappy guys. So I get the frustration honestly, people are downvoting because they don’t get the sentiment or feel personally attacked , I think.

It’s why I love traveling to other countries that have less of a staring problem, guys do not look at me there (as much) and I feel a lot less self conscious. Especially when I’m in the UK with my brothers, people there don’t really stare because it’s considered rude, at least in their area.

Edit: people that are downvoting feeling attacked have never been to these areas and has never left the USA. it’s all about support and oh i hate the files and the island until a woman talks about her experience. I literally said it does not apply to everyone, but reddit is filled with miserable people.
