[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In lived Spain and Italy and was aggressively groped when out in public, especially in Italy. Not sure why people think Europe is so safe. I absolutely felt like I could have been EASILY raped if I had been stumbling around drunk. I felt much much safer back in the states than southern Europe.  I'm wondering how many of you have your heads up your asses. The treatment of women is despicable.

I loved Europe, but safe as a young woman? No. I would not want my 17yr old daughter getting herself white girl wasted all over Europe. Your daughter sounds terribly immature. [/quote]

Glad to see someone saying this. It's true. Look up "street harassment" by country name, OP. Some legislators in Europe are trying to combat the cultural idea that street harassment is harmless but it's an uphill battle right now. YES, there is street harassment in the US, but PP probably can testify that it's much more open, aggressive and intimidating in some other countries. PP is right about how drinking would really flag a tourist teenager for worse than harassment. PPs will keep coming back to say the daughter should learn to deal, etc., but I'd take this PP's real life experience over "let her go because she's about to start college" posts.[/quote]
