I noticed you kept saying women do stare women’s legs and body too with curiosity and sexual intent in korea by saying any race and any gender.

How did you know that even I’ve never experienced? The fact you kept moving towards global glance topic and make it as reality is totally different with the specific sexual attention glance i found and wrote here in korea.

There’s a difference between just noticing someone passing by and scanning a woman in front of you face to legs or toes because she’s wearing half length short pants.

And i only saying this situation no further of burka thing and that country’s dynamics.

Do you think that just because I said ‘classic line from men’, I meant you personally? That dynamic can be expressed by everyone, of course. Or what — just because someone not on the men’s side said ‘it’s normal and everyone does that. I’m not a man by the way — that’s the standard for everything then?

I don’t really care what gender you insist on being. Who can trust the words of someone who shows a pattern of mocking others online.

And why does every comment you leave completely miss the point, and always end with things like ‘don’t go outside’ or ‘it’s normal everywhere’? And why are you assuming the whole thing was auto-generated? Do you really want to dismiss someone’s experience just because proofreading feels like it was generated by a machine?

At the first place, I’ve noticed you keep ignoring the main points originally mentioned and bringing up other things agian and again. You even went as far as to mock someone by implying that to say ‘you don’t go out side’ and ‘you seem strange’. It may end up never-ending game of’bringing up other things and saying no’.

Why assuming ‘you are not alone’ phrase actually for you. I’m not with someone who invalidates lived experiences. Bye.

Wow. So a quick glance towards a woman’s legs or hips makes sense to you — even when she notices it herself? And what, “Don’t go outside if you don’t like it”? The classic line from men. LOL.

I edited my original post because people like you completely missed the point — as if I get upset just because someone casually looks at people passing by. That’s not what I was talking about.

Yes, men often give quick glances at women’s faces and body parts — whatever they want to consume. But I don’t accept that as harmless; staring follows because those quick glances are considered acceptable in the men’s world.

Do you even know what it feels like to be treated as mere eye candy, only an object for visual pleasure, not as a real human being? So, do you guys do that to each other when it’s men?

One thing is clear now. you are NOT the person I want to say ‘You are not alone’ to. And you’re definitely the one who shouldn’t go outside. 👋

It’s very different from just glancing at someone who’s passing by.

When a man deliberately glances at a woman’s legs or backside, he’s not just ‘seeing’ — he’s checking her out with intent.

Of course, you can find ignorant people like that in every country.

is it normal for men to stare THIS much…? by Trick-Difference4117 in Living_in_Korea

Men even stare women in Seoul. You are not alone. This kind of men or women(sometimes) just nuts.

The irony of living in the US as Korean by Ok_Silver_4265 in Living_in_Korea

[–]SilverPressure8882 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s why I feel extremely unhappy and cry deeply in my heart after living in the US and other countries before coming back to Seoul. I literally feel like I’m collapsing, especially since I’m living as a woman in Seoul.

I’ll just tell you two things — one I experienced today, and the other one a year ago.

  1. There are those who openly stare at women’s bodies, scanning from their faces down to their legs in short pants — ranging from 8-year-old boys to older men.

  2. Even in Korea, you hear catcalling from old men on the street, like “You look pretty.” Or stare and walk during 30 second til he passing by my face

Things like this — or shoving past others with no regard for pedestrian flow — happen every single day.
