Is the rest of the world the same?

Men in Australia think they have a right to comment on the way any woman looks, but they tend to dismiss you if you are older, as not worth looking at, not worth commenting on. Even the insults grow less. Which is nice.

When you are young you get quite enough of the comments. Walking in the street you get comments and shouts from cars or passer-bys. From friends, acquaintances, relatives. The size of your breasts, whether you are pretty or not, how fat or thin you are. It's all up there for public discussion and derision.
