The title says it all. Creepy Old Somali men have been harrassing me in public since I have become in their eyes marriageable age. When I say old I don't mean oday (old men) that are old enough to be my grandfathers I'm talking about creepy ugly men in their 30s and 40s who will speak to me unsolicited. It ranges from just the plain old stare as if they have never seen a woman with their disgusting mouths opened wide, to the "haaye, you are the Say Wallahi generation, right", to the "magacaa ("What's your name" to my non-somalis out there )". I do have nasty Somali men in their 20s coming after me but it isn't as scary as these old men who go after women half their age. Anyways, I'm going to stop wearing my hijab soon so it won't be as bad but it still makes me uncomfortable. Lower your gaze, unwiden your eyes, close your nasty burnt camel lipped mouths, and treat women with decency. We aren't here for you.
