observation from my wife when she was here on a 3 week visit,..

when she walked down the streets in Doha with our 3 young kids,.she was more then once encountered by south asian men,. who provoced her private space,. and wishperd words/lines in her ear,. wich she could not understand anyway..

wy is there no respect for moms overhere??
we are used to the macho culture in the latin americas,. but atleast the leave a mom and her kids alone and thread them with respect,.only when she walks alone., the whistle

for you info,.she always wear non revealing,. casual clothes with shoulders and knees covered

This is sad, as single i've faced some issues in here and i'm only here since 2weeks, the most weird think i faced is when i was crossing a small road to go to my building, many cars were parked, suddenly i heard a kind of "acceleration signal" ....a guy, i couldn't see his face , it was dark, was giving me signs and signals by pressing on the accelerator!!

What a sickness!

MM yep the kids bit used to happen to us also, but now since they are a bit older it has stopped.

I wouldn't worry about the picking up and patting your daughter crazydutch, that happens to my son ALL the time. There's nothing sinister about that, they're just expressing how beautiful they think she is. Especially since they don't see a lot of blonde haired blued eyed babies.

I can't go through a mall here without having my son's picture taken at least once! Once an Indian family of about 10 people all asked if they could take their picture with him, and he was passed around giggling and smiling from grandma to their ten year old daughter. It was sweet. :)

Sorry to hear about your family's ordeal. Ogling at the worst described above. It happens to everyone glad you took the time to mention it here.

Good to hear something good about Indians at the end of the day even if for a handful of them...:)

who are you to call me a racist,. i work with indians, those are great individuals, love working with them...on the other hand it's always the bigger group that spoils it for the better smaller part,.

i have south asian blood,. born in europe married to a american latina,..work in a arab country .how can i be a racist??

i have nothing against indians,.its just that the ones besides my coworkers i / we encounter,.. make "trouble"

if you read more treads on QL its not just me.. and for me the are observations,..not opinions

Being a woman I truly know how awful it must have been for your wife. Take it from me, CracyDutch, for some perverted and chauvinistic men all women, regardless of where they are from, whom they are with, what they are wearing, and what they look like, are just objects of their sick fantasies. Respecting women means nothing to them.

Sorry to hear that

I agree with OP, No girl should not be harassed or disrespected like this especially mothers !!

Oh come on people, we all know who harasses women here most of the time.

Get the chip off your shoulders.

nop my wife is not white,..being a latin american,..rather creamcolor/ toned with brown hair.

same to my little 3y old girl,. being blond blue eyed,. being picked up by (veiled) lady's,. touched on her hair and face by men on the street,foto's taken etc.. first few times it quit scared the hell out of us.

later we told her to turn her face and say NO

"The word RESPECT and being GENTLEMAN didn't exist here."...obviously we haven't met...:)

Quite sad. But such is the reality of life here. I believe that most women, whether white or coloured get hassled here..

By happygolucky• 14 Jan 2013 14:43
happygolucky

Sorry to hear this. I really can't believe such people do exist...pathetic!!!

But if you try to see the reason, being a mom doesnt stop many from not doing crazy stuff...so may be that makes them try. And I wouldnt be surprised some men who did so have their wives at home right here.

By mercurie• 14 Jan 2013 14:41
mercurie

She couldn't understand the words, right? Maybe they were telling her ' Ma'am, your ship is slowing' :)

Seriously, some guys here stare like strays at the butcher shop..

By Miss Mimi• 14 Jan 2013 14:04
Miss Mimi

I think any man who stares the way they do here is a pervert. Regardless of their colour.

By landloverreview• 14 Jan 2013 14:00

But one funny thing about some white women is that if a white guy looks at her, she thinks that he is looking for a date...whereas if a person from a third world country looks at her then he is a pervert.

Respect is a commodity not available here. IF you are white and a woman.
