The below statement was taken from the University of West Florida’s Culture Resource Center and is how the majority of Afghan men view Western women:
“Western women may not be treated with the same respect as respectable Muslim/Afghan women. In fact, Western women may be treated as if they were prostitutes. This is because Western women are not held to the Islamic and tribal codes of honor and, in the minds of Afghan men, are already believed to be potentially (or likely) promiscuous. Afghan men may be quite forward in their interaction with Western women.
Regardless of how a Western woman is dressed, Afghan men may leer, make inappropriate physical contact or even directly proposition a non-Afghan woman for sex — either outright or in exchange for something of value.”
