So i went grocery shopping and a man came up to me and grabbed me. I asked him not to touch me. He told me its a compliment, that he wouldn’t want to grab me if i was not pretty and light skinned. An older woman saw the whole encounter yet laughed and asked me “Why shouldn’t he touch you? What do you think you are? GOLD”. I was wearing an abaya with hijab and i had no make up on and i realised dressing modestly will not reduce harassment and to have a woman support such blatant disrespect is heartbreaking
