Guys practically have a free license to stare at girls in bars. That's one of the many functions of a bar. Girls don't hit guys for staring at them in bars anymore, if they ever did at all.
Yeah, because men are entitled to set the rules, award themselves "licenses", and decide what the functions of
public spaces are supposed to be. What women might want doesn't come into it, right? No, I wouldn't hit a man who stared at me (not least because starting fights, especially with potentially-drunk guys, is
dangerous), but men with attitudes like this are a big part of the reason I don't go unaccompanied to bars at all.
But unless you choose to wear a burka, anyone has the right to just look - so long as that's all they do. If you feel creeped out by guys who do this, then I suggest you grow a thicker skin.
If we don't want to be stared at we should wear a
burka? I'll just let that speak for itself I think, and note the standard line that if women don't like the way men behave, there is something wrong with
us.As for the comic... It's sort of a funny shout-out to the early days of QC, and the hand-print is nicely drawn...
