You may want to suggest an experiment to those guys who do not
understand how this must feel. Ask them to place a large banana in
the inside front of their pants before they head off to work one
morning. Have them engage as many of their co-workers as possible in
conversation.

Then, the next day, have them go in (minus the banana ) and see if
they can find anyone who remembers what the hell they were talking
about the day before......

Actually that doesn't seem like a very good example, "Leo". You'd get
the same result whether the guy wore the banana in the front or in the
rear of his pants.


um - I think that putting the banana in the back of the pants might
send a very different message, "Dave". And elicit a very different
reaction.

In front, they'd probably be embarassed by the obvious -um-
masculinity that appears to be showing. Red faces, can't keep the eyes
off it - like a big magnet....

In back - well, they'd hear what the guy had to say alright, but
they's probably never stop laughing when they watched him walk away.
Some may even be horrified....

One of these, though, would cause folks to stare at the guy in a
similar way to that experienced by many well endowed women every day -
you don't think that the banana in the back of the pants' would do
that.....do you?

The whole argument is kind of moot, Leo. Some women seek out the
attention, witness padded bras and surgical disfigurement that some
women go through in order to be stared at.

I think the best defense against someone who leers is to simply mention
it. Most will be mortified, and those that aren't are jerks anyhow.
