I am riding my bycicle under the Italian boiling sun from the supermarket to my home wearing a dress up to my knees. I am very careful to keep my dress together, of course, and the ride only lasts 5 minutes or so. But it doesn’t matter, I still managed to be wishtled at by two middle-aged men working at the side of the street and, a couple of seconds later, two young men are waving at me and sounding the horn from their car as they are passing by me. I only managed to whisper ‘idiots’. Do you really think a young woman should appreciate that or what?
