I’m a 63-year-old retired school teacher. In one evening last year, I was coming back home after finishing shopping at a local market. A Bengali man was stalking me. I was well dressed and as modest as a lady of my age could be! At one point, he crossed me giving a male gaze saying, “Old but still provoking.” I looked back at his eyes and asked him to utter again what he just said. After a few seconds pause, he lowered down his eyes, apologized and begged for mercy. The fact is that women’s age doesn’t matter. We face these things every day… Therefore, raising voice against such perverts and making them understand that they are doing something wrong, is a MUST.
