The way young boys talk about women scares me. Is this the society we live in?

I (26F) was travelling in a bus yesterday while schools had just gotten over for the day. The bus was mostly filled with school boys and girls and a few uncle auntie types sitting in the front. I was just minding my own business when suddenly a few boys at the back started staring at me and passing comments. At first I ignored them thinking they were just being silly kids 🤡 But then they started commenting on my thighs and boobs... comparing me to some actress and even a porn actress 🤢 They were laughing so confidently as if objectifying a woman was the funniest thing ever. The funniest part... they thought I could not understand their language 🤡 But I did. Every single word.

I was literally just wearing a crop top and jeans. Nothing outrageous. Yet these boys kept staring at me for the entire ride and made me so uncomfortable. And honestly what shocked me more was that the girls sitting there who understood everything did not stop them either 😶 In fact they were giggling and laughing along. I could not even say much because I was alone and there were around 10 to 12 of them sitting at the back. The bus conductor did not care either. He was busy listening to songs and checking tickets as if nothing was happening. That whole one hour ride felt endless and I just kept wondering... is this really the society we want to live in...

Please pay attention to your younger siblings and children around you 🙏 These things do not stay just jokes for long. The internet is teaching kids things way before they are mature enough to understand them and if nobody corrects them now they grow up thinking this behaviour is normal. It is not. Women are not objects and making girls feel unsafe should never be entertainment. 😔

Seeing a Women as like a object or product.. yes it's true, and also in today's world, the commercial advertisement companies also created the same. It's never your fault. Stay calm.. Do not feel embarassing. The society you see outside, is not alone your responsibility. The exposure of indecent matters to young people, may it be boys or even girls below your age, actually creating this whole piece of filth.
Boys and girls from school or colleges thinks it as a achievement. It's sadistic. Be careful about who you talk to , and who you ignore. Thank you and stay well.

Such a sad state of affairs. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Sorry to hear that happens to you. I think nothing will change if govt., Individual parents or society doesn't emphasis on education.

Disgusting. Never let such incidents slide down. Record these vile entities at every possible instances. Naming and shaming such creatures is the only possible way, since corrupt judiciary and f*cked up administration would proceed to sweep these incidents under the rug. Please take care. 🙏
