She is barely literate and I would bet real money she has never picked up a book.
How dare you. Chantal picking up a book is a foundational part of Chantal lore.
Whether she read it is another story.
According to Chantal, she got "cat called" the other day on the street.
I don't necessarily DISbelieve it. Men in countries like this will cat-call white Western women all the time, regardless of age, appearance, or attire. They see Western women are fair game, and they don't need to show them respect.
Even when they do "respect" Western women, they still see them as easy.
In her react to Chantal's experience of a man talking to her in public without Salah around, Milk Tea, who lives in Oman, told a story about being hit on by an old man she made the mistake of making accidental eye contact with. The old man asked for her number, she said no. The old man then approached her later, clarified he wants her number because he really wants to be her friend, and she again had to decline.
Milk Tea didn't use the phrase "hit on" but we all know what the deal is. She was a white woman who looked an old Arab man in the eye and he thought that meant she might be interested. Milk Tea said "we stick out" meaning white women, but I also think she's being very diplomatic about Arab men. In my (admittedly far more limited) experience in MENA countries, Arab men pester every white women they see. It's a numbers game.
At best, they know that Western women are comfortable talking to strange men, even if its just to decline politely. At worst, they legitimately think Western women are free use whores.
When a Western woman travels to a MENA country, it's just one of those things they have to expect, like accepting that people in East Asia will call you fat to your face. It doesn't necessarily mean you're in any more danger than you are at home, though I'm sure it can feel that way to some people. And it can just be annoying and exhausting.
But of course, in Chantal's fat brain, it means they're all hot for her in particular.
Chantal is not protected by her hijab, no matter what she thinks. Even if being Muslim would protect Muslim girls from the sexual menace of Muslim men (lol), it's obvious that she's a non-serious convert. She's also clearly just a bottom of the barrel person, hanging out in seedy parts of town. She's not even modestly dressed. Her tops are skin tight and show every fold. To them, she quite literally looks like a fat white whore.
She's not being politely approached by wealthy old Arabs who want to be her "friend." She's getting either legitimately cat-called, or they're shouting "fatty" at her in Arabic.
