Women + Egypt = Bad Times

Female harassment is bigger than the Sphynx

News reports aplenty over the years have made it clear that it’s no piece of cake being a female in the Middle East, but now we have it straight from the horse’s mouths. Horses being Egyptian men, almost two-thirds of which have owned up to committing sexual harassment. Why do they do it? Guess what, it’s all the fault of the women.

According to 53 percent of men surveyed by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights, those wanton Egyptian ladies who wear tight clothes deserved the abuse, and not only that, they enjoyed it. And another thing--they shouldn’t stay out past the witching hour of 8:00, after which the gals apparently drive the poor, helpless lads insane with naughty thoughts.

The study states that harassment in this “conservative” Muslim land comes in many forms: ogling, touching, yelling and exposing of Egyptian man parts. Yuck. As for vacationers, 98 percent of foreign women visiting Egypt revealed they’d been victims; kind of takes the wind out of the need to see the pyramids.
