Causes of Rape Assessed:
Looking and Staring

While staring is a synonym for looking, the whole meaning changes depending on the situation.

Staring is a synonym of looking when you use it for essays.
Staring is not a synonym of looking when you refer to a girl.

Confused?

Let's look what Google says about it-

Looking:
direct one's gaze in a specified direction

Staring:
look fixedly or vacantly at someone or something with one's eyes wide open

Maybe more confused?

Let us understand it with a situation with a girl and a gang of typical 'rowdy' boys.

The girl passes and a boy from that gang looks at her. She walked past him and he looked at his friends.

That's what is looking.

But no, no, no. This is not what exactly happens in case of staring.

The girl passes and a boy from that gang looks at her. He gives one of cheap weird smile at her. She chooses to ignore him. He points that girl to his gang. They start commenting and whistling at her. She tries to ignore them.

If it's an extreme case, they may follow her. This is where staring becomes eve-teasing.

When these kind of people are questioned, they say it is because of the way a woman dresses. From my knowledge and experience and research, girls and ladies, try not to wear these kind of clothes when you step out of your house:

(a) Sarees

(b) Salwar Kameez

(c) Kurtis paired with leggings or jeans

(d) Burkhas

(e) Crop tops paired with palazzo or jeans

(f) Long skirts or knee length skirts or short skirts; basically skirts

(g) Jeans

(h) Maxi dresses or gowns or one piece

(i) Any other bold, revealing dress

(j) Any other dress I have forgotten to mention

You may ask me what can you wear? No matter what you wear, they will stare at you. No matter how much ever you explain to these fools the discomfort we face, they say they can't stop staring.

When staring becomes harassing, a woman is raped.

But ladies, don't you worry, it's always our fault. We shouldn't step out of house. It's that simple.
