is a form of sexual aggression that ranges in severity from sexually suggestive
remarks, brushing in public places, catcalls, to outright groping. Sometimes it is referred to with a coy suggestion of
innocent fun, making it appear innocuous with no resulting
liability on the part of the perpetrator. Many feminists and voluntary
organizations have suggested that the expression be replaced by a more
appropriate term. According to them, considering the semantic roots of the term
in Indian English, eve-teasing refers to
the temptress nature of Eve, placing responsibility on the woman as a tease, as
though the aggressive response of the males was normal rather than criminal.
Eve-teasing has been a
notoriously difficult crime to prove, as perpetrators often devise ingenious
ways to attack women, even though many feminist writers term it as "little
rapes", and usually occur in public places, streets, and public
transport.

conservative clothing, though eve teasing is reported both by Indian women and
by conservatively-dressed foreign women.
