One reflection is that I need to stop caring about the mindset of the Indians on their way of looking at women. It makes me angry, laugh and amused. It seems like I am always ending up in a conflict with one or another man surely because of my opinion about men here. Yesterday it happened on the train when I was standing in the door together with my good friend Irja. A man asked to pass so I thought that he wanted to go stand in front of us on the steps but no, he just wanted to take my place and stand where I was standing. So I asked him if he was just going to stand there since I was standing there before, he only said yes and laughed a little bit. So walked over to stand in the other door for a while and laughed a little bit. But I could not let it go so I went over to him again and asked how come he wanted me to move, if I had missed out on any Indian norms or anything. After discussing with him for a while and him laughing a little bit on and of like he was uncomfortable talking to me he told me that he had asked me to move because of the it not being safe to stand in the door and because I am a women. I cannot more then help to think that this country is far from equity.
