Beware of sexist supporters

Beware of sexist supporters

SEMARANG: The unruly street rallies here are becoming a
nightmare for women.

Several women said yesterday the nastiness of Golkar and
United Development Party (PPP) supporters was unforgivable. They
claimed the supporters often pinched women's cheeks, buttocks and
other parts.

"One day I was watching a PPP convoy on the roadside. A man
shook hands with me then pinched my cheeks and another man my
buttocks," said college student Sri Pamurti.

Pamurti's friends and other locals have had similar
experiences.

"I have been pinched three times by Golkar and PPP
campaigners," said student Handayani.

The students said they preferred to stay in doors during
street rallies. (har/pan)
