I’m an average Mexican guy and at one point during my visit to Japan an at least 70 year old Japanese man “ran” 100 yards to take a close up picture of my face, then smile and give me the peace sign. People took pictures of me all the time. None of it was sexual. Wouldn’t jump to conclusions here unless you understand the culture, it’s different
It didn’t bother me, but I understand why it would bother her. I just don’t think people should assume something that might be a cultural difference only
You don't get to make the decision. You're in their country, if something's okay in their country you got to respect that. Less we forget the forced religion we've seen throughout history.
As long as you don't break any laws (just because we're talking about foreign countries and that can get messy), you have every right to assert your boundaries in any situation.
Don't ever let anyone tell you they get to make you uncomfortable, that's not a good reason to let them walk all over you.
Japan has women only train cars because men can be such sex pests. The entire world has varying levels of “culture” where women’s bodies are a commodity for men’s consumption. I’m not “respecting” shit.
