Sexual Harassment - Italy versus United States

    Many women who travel to Italy sometimes experience whistling or staring from Italian men. Many women take this the wrong way but realistically, it should often be taken as friendly flirting. Now, not every case is like this but Italy is much like the U.S. when it comes to the way women are treated. It's just that Italy has a different culture and just because they don't hide their stares behind their sunglasses or wait to look till after the women pass by, doesn't mean they are sexually harassing the women.
