@Abroad and @McDanel.
Matronly? Lol that's classic . While i may indeed get less bum pinching and boob groping if I were older, the very fact that men there think its OK to leer, stare, approach with lewd innuendo - and violate my body and person just because I'm white and a Blondie is what shits me to tears.
I'm with McDanel, to be honest. I may get less of a sexually charged experience, but it certainly wouldn't make me safer overall. I look very Dutch/Swedish in colouring. Unless they recognize my accent, I'd absolutely be lumped into the general 'European/Caucasian' group.
Everytime I travel overseas to any nation that is not first world AND westernized, I have a hard time with men. Its sick and at times, scary. And I'm by no means the best looking chick out there. But the hair really attracts them - if they're not white themselves - and being white - they think I'm rich. Ergo, add it all up - vagina, blonde, white, rich - I'm a walking talking target in a lot of places in the world. And I value my life too much just to see the pyramids in front of me.
As for the situation improving - I hope so too. But honestly? The Islamic world is going to violently implode. And within our lifetime. Its already a simmering pot of violence and discrimination and hate, suffering, poverty and funny how most refugees are from Islamic nations. They're not working. They're failing. I feel sad for the faceless people who mean no harm, but I see it drastically worsening in the coming 20-30 years, IMO.
