I know this works because it helped me survive the endless in-your-face staring of China 2 years ago. I'm able to use my generic Asian features to fight back. Just used it to run the gauntlet of the touts and rickshaw wallahs hanging around every station I passed through today. It also helps me filter out at least some of the air pollutant particulants. I can only hope. It's very very empowering to fight back against the ingrained SE Asian sexual harassment of women. I take it off when I'm safely in the ladies car of the metro. In there I'm happy to be "auntie" from elsewhere.
