This reminds me of my summer at Dijon, France, many moons ago. I was attending a program there at the university.
At night the local Arabs would sneak into the women's dormitory, pounding on all the doors. They got enraged when no one would open. I heard one of them whispering into the door (in French), "I want to come in. I want to come in. Let me in!"
That amazed me the most -- their sense of entitlement. Not that they thought the women were "asking for it", but that the women were expected to service them.
(It was through my intervention that the university installed a night guard.)
The human blender should be used on those animals.
Let me make sure I understand you correctly.
The French are so passive that it took an American summer student to demand corrective action ?
