That was the wrong thing for me to say. A lot of men think of women as sex objects. Sexual assault is apparently more common than we all think in wider society.
Not nearly the same thing. Both our culture and Muslim culture sees women as sex objects. Our culture celebrates that (more than it should) while their culture sees it as a danger, and does its best to suppress it by swaddling them in shapeless clothes, and ensuring they are always under the direct control of their male family members.
So while a young Canadian man might see some hot teen girls in bikinis and lech at them his thoughts are not filled with the sense of contempt you'll find from a guy from North Africa. He won't assume that they're available to any man who wants them, and won't be angered and outraged that they would dare to refuse.
A
**** is not the right description probably. We might call a girl a
**** (she might even be one by our terms) but that does not carry with it the same sense of religious violation as in the Muslim world. We wouldn't think it is open season on her for anything we choose to do.
