ah thanks, just never heard it called that before :P
I do have the say there are jerks every where you go in the world, it just seems how they commit their unacceptable behavior is different depending on where you are. Yes here in Qatar men will stare, follow, and make you feel very uncomfortable in a way that you don't see in the US( only using the US because that is where I am from and am used to). In the US the men might not stare, but they have other despicable behavior( date rape drug for example).
I think that when you are new to a place, it is hard to get used to the more seedy behavior, but regardless where you are, it is there!!
It was certainly a shock for me when I got here to always be stared at, I always feel like I must have something hanging off my face or my zipper is down or something! I am just not used to it. I am used to jerks from home and know how to avoid it, so I will just have to learn to get used to it here.
