[Reader-list] 'What Is Eve Teasing?' - Opinion Poll Results

[Rakesh Iyer]

I don't think the article was just meant for humour. I just wanted to know
about the possible answers to these questions:

If I like the face of a girl or the figure of a girl, and if I look at her
continuously, should that be termed eve-teasing? Should it not? Is it eve
teasing only if the girl notices it, in which case I can hide somewhere and
look? What does the law say about it? What do you personally feel about it?
What's the harm in staring at a girl? Should we adhere to the principle of
not doing something against someone else's will? Or does staring affect the
freedom of an individual? Or is it cultural, where women have been taught to
be submissive and hence we have no cases of Adam teasing, while we have
cases of Eve teasing? Or is it something else?

Why not have someone answering these questions? And it doesn't require a
great intellectual standard; all you require is to put your own perspective
in mind? Or should we keep hiding such things under the carpet?
