schooling..I believe it has to do with total disrespect for the other gender and that comes from how people are raised. There is a HUGE difference between looking at someone and leering at them. I don't mind being looked at but if someone is leering, then I'm going to stare back, but there will be no mistaking the disgust in my gaze. When I talk to someone, I always look them in the face, as it shows that you are truly interested in what they have to say. Remember the old adage...The eyes are the windows to the soul. Its very true.

If men, and women, would have respect for each other then there wouldn't be a problem, but as stated before..if you are raised to think of a woman as only a sex object, then she will always remain one in your mind..therefore creating the lustful leering.
