Oh, no. I'm not modest at all, Moozlim OR insulting myself. I just burn like bacon in a hot skillet.

My son has been accosted by random young women, even in groups, who think it's perfectly okay to get up in his personal space and touch him and/or his possessions (he wears interesting jewelry). He's ridiculously handsome (if I do say so myself) and looks like Thor with a ginger beard. He has complained to me about it before, and I agreed that it's no more right for a gang of women to do that to him just because he's a 6'5" dude than it would be for a guy or guys to do that to a woman. I did point out to him that when women are the objects of that kind of attention, we're not just creeped out and annoyed like he was, we're almost always terrified. But still, in his case, I reassured him it was wrong that they should do something to him that they know, as women, would completely freak them out if the tables were turned.
