A comment on British men

Not from me but my colleague. She is younger 30ish very pretty intelligent a bit brittle but sound enough. She is from the South of France. She complained vociferously about British men being far too reserved about their attraction to women & says she misses the attention she gets at home. Thought this was interesting as a thought. Presumably she is not talking about what we would call street harassment but something else.

I guess the problem is that we expect something as 'universally expected'. This is not about random harassment in public spaces. Some cultures expect you to interact in some way with the opposite sex, some don't. All of them expect women to be objects of desire and not the other way round. In my opinion, this is wrong either way.

Some cultures seem happier with physical contact and others don't. In any possible scenario, there are hunters and they seem to be men. It would be great to escape everyone of the stereotype . Many people do actually escape them. Most culture don't.
