Also, Cast? This may come as a shock to you, but most men are actually pretty decent.
Exactly, and regardless, the best way to combat the creeps is to ignore them or expect them to do better. It's more harmful in western culture to think that 'men are naturally pervs' than to say, "you can do better than this. Stop it." (which oddly, happened in English history Because boys sometimes see it (esp. in the media) and they wind up thinking that such behavior is unavoidable (which happened to my brother, once).
But yeah, I wonder what would happen if Shannon wound up surrounded by greco-roman/celtic dudes who were only around an average of 166-169 cm in height (sooo, 5' 51/2- 5'6?). Because that was the average height of the men in Herculaneum and Pompeii (which had varied nationalities, and should have similar lifestyles and diet). I'd honestly be cackling at her dismay.
