A friend of a friend complained thus:
"I'm off to the police tomorrow...I'm just sick of getting ripped off, screwed over and hit on incessantly...this really isn't a good place for any single white Western woman to be living."
Says a lot about the society we live in. For all the pious crackdown on vice: porn, alcohol, 'indecent' hoardings, dress codes being imposed in universities there are some fundamental views on women that are distinctly neolithic.
I suppose that like the Victorian values, on which the new morality is based, it goes with the same Victorian hypocrisy.

sad. for some weird reason Lankans must think white women are 'easy'. desperation. meh.
Not that the local girls don't get harassed either.
i wonder how much help the police actually were.
yes they all do, despite where you live. even though I've seen it more in sri lanka, I can't say I haven't experienced it in this western country i live in, coz i have, and I'm not white.
i don't know if lodging a complaint would help it..
being a female is frustrating. white, black, brown or caramel. gah
PP - I don't think they were particularly helpful.
Ditto to Gadgetgirl ...
