I'm glad you wrote under my article, the comments are always welcome and even the comparison. I find many parts of your speech right, of course it was not my intent to put verbal harassment between serious problems or to preach a far more serious issues like rapes, marriages with very young girls and other defects of rights and protections in my opinion and for all human beings.

Reading and hearing the TV and informing me through magazines I read about horrible situations both for women and for men, where those who hold undisputed human rights are killed and the people treated in ways that are not human to me and totally unworthy of a civilized society. Nor is it my intention to say that all the comments a man makes to a woman are harassment.

But I find uncivilized in Italy (Here I speak of Italy, I do not know the situation in America, having never lived and not having visited) often find yourself having to walk in the street with the fear that some idiot (use a euphemism) y scream on you what he would make to you sexually or talk about your forms making you feel insecure, because certain attitudes are scary.

I luckily and I consider it a great fortune I was born in a country where the human condition is good, women and minorities are respected enough, we still have many cases of homicide and domestic violence and this upsets me because I think that in a modern country and civil, certain things should already be gone, people should already be non-violent and prefer dialogue to force. Precisely because I think my country is a civilized place, I do not tolerate women being insulted for a dress or just because they walk alone on the street.

And with insults I mean insults, and not the "Ciao bella " that here is typical nice thing to say to a girl like " hi beauty" a way to say she looks nice and indicates attraction that is as you say normal, even if I see a nice guy I say " che bello" , but one thing is a compliment or an appreciation, a another is an insult or vulgarity.
By the way sorry if i write too much i just give you my explanation, i read your comment and i confess
I felt a veil of sadness for all the situations you have described to me because as a Utopian perhaps a pacifist dreamer I would never want people to be enslaved or tortured or treated as objects, but cynically I know the world for some of us and some places is a place not suitable for dreams.
