Hello Pretty Lady!
November 25th, 2011 cnjenk13
Ok,let me add that this is a bit of a rant due to my woman and gender studies course here. I have been taking a lot of time reflecting on my experience as a woman here in Sri Lanka. Hikkaduwa was really nice but I have to say that I had never been cat-called so much in my life. There were only a couple of men that were not that bad there. Usually in my interactions with men however, it is extremely annoying to be asked after the first couple minutes of meeting “If I have a boyfriend?” It seems like such a foreign idea to have a friend that is a girl. I have been proposed to, stared at, and cat-called too many times. It is something that doesn’t happen to Sri Lankan women very often at all. I get that I am a foreigner but I wish that they would see me as a person before they try to propose to me without knowing me. But then again as annoying it is also a bit flattering; they really do think that I am pretty and that’s never a bad thing…
