Well Instant respect is what i always expected from guys since i started wearing Hijaab. Today i saw differently.I was minding my own business on the way home, when 3 guys from my year (that are in a couple of my classes but hardly talk to) were walking behind me. So as normal people do they said hi and engaged in a general conversation. That conversation lead to one of them putting his hand round me and called me beautiful, piff etc.. I fairly quickly disengaged from the situation and walked ahead of them on my way home.
Made me think to be honest. I mean he was joking but surely even jokingly that is no sign of 'instant respect'? I posted a bit of this incident on twitter and I received responses like 'your intention wasn't right' 'you were probably flirting' etc. etc. but I honestly wasn't, if they hadn't said 'hi' I wouldnt have even started talking to them, I barely know them, just seen them around school and stuff. Then I looked on the flip side. I was like if it wasn't my actions that caused this situation then it was obviously their mind-set. its amazing how easy it is for a guy to look beyond the Hijaab on our head, and the modesty of our social etiquette.
