Sex in the city

Welcome to chennai city,tamil nadu India,population 4.2million(yup it's true). Now the world i live in here is slightly bigger than a fish bowl but still in something through which everyone keep's looking at you. Like many cities all over the world my city too has those men who seem to act as if they have never seen women before in their lives. As a woman i feel violated each time i walk the roads of my city, as it seems the gazes of every man seem to be centered on you. In a Bollywood movie which came out not too long ago was a line from a woman to a man when he was staring at her chest saying "they don't talk i do". In my opinion should be the cover of some book as it seems that most men seem to be staring in that vicinity. Its quite disheartning considering that not all men are like that, i hold allot of respect for many of my male counterparts but when such incidents occur the whole gender is ostracized sadly. Just the other day my four friends and i were walking to the mall which was ten minutes walk and in those ten minute it seemed as if we had stopped traffic as every man who was either walking, driving and riding had stopped to stare at us. All this when we were wearing our normal t-shirts and jeans, not even something revealing. Their stare's made me think i had some sign on my fore head saying "STOP AND LOOK".
If you ask me as this is never EVER going to stop in any part of the world women should start charging men to just glance their way. As soon as we reached the mall one of my friends Prerna actually turned to me and another friend  Shikha and said "did you see how we had somehow stopped traffic". Now the roads are bad, but the malls!!! Dear god we might as well wear bed sheets and walk around as boys and men alike walk around in groups of five to six and station themselves all over the mall stand there and stare at whomever walk by. And the one thing you notice apart from the fact that none of them look good is that they all have their phone's out. Quite often you find that even when you stare such individuals back in the eye they just don't back off. For reasons like this most girls hate to get out of the house. Though Chennai is much better of than the rest of the country i have realised that with men like this not even god can help us.
The best part about this is that it doesn't stop with the men, the women are THE BEST, you could be walking past them in a perfectly fine shirt and jeans while they would be wearing something which looks like it has recently been through the shredder and spit out then cut up with a pair of scissors along with HIIIIGH heels which have the BIGGEST gem stones stuck on to them and carrying bags which carry the tag of the prestigious brand DOLGE DOLGE(nope i dint mess up the spelling, this is the latest brand to carry =D), and they stare at you giving you the one over with a look in their eyes saying where did you come from. Its actually quite hilarious. Atleast you can laugh at the women, however with the men you start coming up with plans on how to brainwash the whole gender.
