so, check this out. i post this in the morning. in the afternoon, i am hassled by a man who saw me in the grocery store, and as i walked the half block back to my house, he followed me in his car, asking me if i was going very far -- if i needed a ride, because my purse looked heavy.
ReplyDeletei am wearing a t-shirt and jeans, and flip flops.yes, my jeans hugged my butt which is ...umm.. prominent. And my t-shirt hugged my breasts which are a comfortable B cup.
I ignored him, and he insisted. I finally said in Spanish "leave me and peace" forcefully, and he finally gave up...
but YES it was uncomfortable. yes, i felt intimidated. and NO i don't want that kind of attention; not ever.
but the orthodox form of dress seems really extreme and with the heat in La Paz I could easily stroke out if i ran around in heavy clothes like a burka.
still needs some investigation; but i think there is some nugget of truth that needs to be pursued.
i don't want to be a victim, and i don't want to participate in my own victimization.
i want it to be CLEAR that i'm not interested, nor inviting sexual advances.
but i want to be attractive to my husband...please someone out there, if you have any insight...i am looking for direction.
blessings,
