>> why we can see this more in our dear homeland where we expect muslim men to be in a majority and who we think, would understand the norms of gender interaction better

We do not understand the norms of gender interaction better here; we are more of the whimsical nation. Unfortunately our bringing up tells us not ask and speak in front of the parents; so we never learn to speak well and being articulate in general. When the time comes to interact with the opposite gender; the situation is worse.

I believe it is the desire of the men to stare at the women. In our society if a male does something wrong he is excused for being a male; but woman is branded as shameless. People forget the male mistake in no time but the woman always remains the shameless one. This encourages the male to do it more. Let me add here that the fear of God is no more within us.

Honestly telling we never consider women as another human being. She is a sexual object to be played with. We really see the woman as a very weak human; so in return we have no fear from her.

Staring problem here is more to do with the brain disease (psychological) as you said. It is entirely depend on the class you are talking about.

The elite educated class does not do it much because they already have girlfriends.
The middle class is totally confused because on the one side they desire them a lot on the other they think it is wrong to stare. As I said there is no fear of God so in the end we stare them.

The lower class has a mentality of being possessive about the woman. They stare the most because they think they have a right to do so; because the women place in house and not on the street. The women in their lives who are Mother, Sister, Daughter & Wife are unfortunately not women but Worshipful, Honor, Property & Possession respectively.

In last, the youth has a different story. Our youth is no more different than the western one; i.e. totally confused. Actually they are crush between our cultural values and the bombardment of western culture on the media. This is all because their parents are not good religious role models so they reject them because they do not believe in the cultural values anymore.

This is how I see it.[/quote]
