Thread: What are the challenges for a girl in a travelling?

Physical challenge-Women have to go through painful cramps and bleeding for few days each month, even when the situation compels them to travel.
Shameless stares from opposite sex- When a girl happens to travel at night, she gets her fair amount of stares. These are not just stares, but feel like the whole body is being scanned and measured. So women should always bring a shawl to cover themselves when sleeping, or otherwise the girl becomes the eyecandy for the men around her.
Judgement- Judging advice from strangers who preach you on and on about how it's unsafe for a girl to travel alone and so on.
Overly nosy strangers(men and women)-they start asking personal questions and who knows for what purpose they're gonna use it to.

Its great to know these things from a girl point of view.. I understand that how much difficult to be a girl.

It is a bit tough... But I just want to know one thing.
If a girl sits alone, why do the men take it as a kind of invitation to start up a conversation? Just sitting alone and minding our own business is almost impossible for girls, because one way or other a man will present himself to her... Why is that?.
