Warding off unwanted male attention

As I recently went to Italy and got some unwanted male attention (from an Egyptian), I think I will spew this advice once again. I highly stress that the ladies learn how to say "you disgust me" in Italian, as my friend, Jen, told me she did. She had constant unwanted daily attention for the few months she lived there, and this was the best defense. Watch out! Some of them are much more hands-on than we are in America. Just looking out for you!

Thanks, Robin. My sister-in-law used the "cross the arms in front of you" with a fierce look and loud "NO" to ward off the occasional vagabond street seller she encountered. We'll definitely have to learn some effective put-downs in Italian!
