- PlutoPrime, on 11/21/2008, -15/+75Cairoians, TONIGHT..... We bend over in our jail cells and take it up the ass like how Allah wishes it so.
On a serious note, since I grew up in a middle eastern country, i tell you, due to these regulations even now i still suffer some of the trauma of those years when I'm around women. They make it such a taboo thing for a man and a woman to desire each other in the middle east and brainwash the kids that you really get confused and feel ashamed when you feel like you want to talk to a girl or kiss her or express your human and desires as a man.
I pity the humans who are born in that part of the world. What a sad and wretched life it is to not be able to live as a free human, expressing human desires freely. Even Animals in the wild get to do the mating dance freely. ARE WE LESS THAN ANIMALS?
ARE WE LESS THAN ANIMALS? .... ***** Allah, and ***** Islam the cult of the sadistic retards. - PrintScrn12, on 11/21/2008, -3/+47Sure ***** does in an authoritarian theocracy.
- HookmasterCH47, on 11/20/2008, -9/+47As I was told in the Middle East... Women are for breeding, men are for pleasure. When will these silly teenagers learn?
- jwarttman, on 11/21/2008, -1/+36On a related note, can someone bail me out?
- Lavarock, on 11/21/2008, -4/+37Sure ***** does in a repressive *****.
- PlutoPrime, on 11/21/2008, -3/+34I'm not afraid of Muslims... I'm an Iranian and even when I lived there, every day of my life I felt like spitting on their holy book of nonesense. It really is nonesense I tell you... I don't care about it being nonsense though... what gets to you is that they wanna shove their nonsense down your throat. But I said NO.. Leave me the ***** out of your cult.
- amanilaenvelope, on 11/21/2008, -3/+32They're in their mummys safe basement.
- TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -2/+28It means groped, licked, or other unwanted sexual attention. Do some more research. Women are sex objects there, especially if they show a little skin. That's like saying "rape me".
- bakamas, on 11/21/2008, -0/+26The submitter is an idiot. I lived in Cairo for 9 years. My sisters were sexually harassed; not just words, but boob grabbing, and ass smacking.
I hate when people talk about ***** they don't know about. Sexual harassment is a real problem in Egypt.
This will hopefully send a signal to all guys that it's not ok to physically or verbally harass women. - ABadPerson, on 11/21/2008, -3/+29Read the article, some of those guys are really getting out of control.
When your culture is bias against women, what do you expect?... - Lavarock, on 11/21/2008, -21/+46The article says 98% of women visiting Egypt have been sexually harassed. I think this may translate as "spoken to by a male".
- dmyli, on 11/21/2008, -0/+24The article said men were arrested for groping and sexual harassment. The last time I checked groping is not "flirting". They shouldn't equate the two as synonymous.
- Lavarock, on 11/21/2008, -5/+29lol watch out, you gonna get jiha'd
- TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -1/+25Egyptian "flirting" != western flirting
Egyptian "flirting" = unwanted groping and/or penetration - inactive, on 11/21/2008, -6/+28Title is inaccurate. 'Flirting' is actually many times perceived as sexual harassment and intimidation in Egypt. Many times this 'flirting' is actually groping. It's soo crowded sometimes especially in public areas this goes by unnoticed or uncatcheable.
- jtbell04, on 11/21/2008, -2/+20Not racist, he's criticising a culture.
- PlutoPrime, on 11/21/2008, -3/+20Is it Racist for a Black man to call other black men *****? Like I said, I'm from Iran and the Axis of Ahamadi Nejad... I can freely judge my "former" country as fools for shoving that stupid religion down everyones throat. You can call me a bigot, a racist, ignorant, or whatever... But i believe I've experienced true EVIL first hand at the hands of Islam. And I've had ENOUGH.
- sdellboy, on 11/21/2008, -8/+25Man...I'd be doing life in Egypt.
- Paulish, on 11/21/2008, -6/+22HAH! Thats what you think. Read your companies sexual harassment policies and you will find the feminazis that right them disagree. You should read the book "Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism".
- AudioPhotograph, on 11/21/2008, -0/+16I questioned digging this, but I gave in.
- DrunkenPirate34, on 11/21/2008, -2/+17Groping/gang raping is puberty to you?
- TheMachine1, on 11/21/2008, -0/+12Yeah my read of the story is this is not typical theocratic abuse by the government but a serious crack down on behavior that would be considered criminal in the West. In other words this is good news.
- AudioPhotograph, on 11/21/2008, -1/+13Quest Hotline doesn't count.
- DrunkenPirate34, on 11/21/2008, -2/+14No its true. Teens will walk around and grope a womans breasts or buttocks in the street. 100x if you are caucasion.
- TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -1/+13Agreed. People see "flirting" and they think winking or saying something sweet.
In actuality, over there it means aggressive unwanted sexual advances like groping. - TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -0/+11He's right. It's pretty common to be groped or worse. If in an isolated area, it's not uncommon to be gang raped, and then the woman is usually the one that is punished.
Read up on this, people. - passedoutghost, on 11/21/2008, -1/+12It's an Australian news website. It reports the news from all around the globe.
- ASSASSYN360, on 11/21/2008, -1/+12Birth rates in Cairo mysteriously plummet.
- TheMoniker, on 11/21/2008, -1/+12That article wasn't exactly clear, it seems as though they were waffling about with their definition of 'flirting' and "sexual assault"--not to mention conflating the two. Now, if they mean by 'flirting' just chatting someone up, then this is insane. If they mean that the guys were going around violently assaulting and groping the women, then damn right they should be dealt with by the authorities--more, they should be looking into what factors are leading to this.
- Xizer, on 11/21/2008, -5/+15Arabs reproduce asexually.
- legaldealr, on 11/21/2008, -6/+16what a misleading title, i didn't know that the harmless word flirting is now equivalent to sexual assault
- DaftMonk, on 11/21/2008, -4/+14Four. Hundred?
- Revovisionary, on 11/21/2008, -5/+15FTA: "court in October sentenced a man to three years in jail for groping a woman"
I'm all for dudes keeping there hands to themselves but DAMN you couldn't of just given him a fine and community service or something. - TheImaginator, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9Seems a bit wierd over there.
Men (boys actually) seem to be of the persuasion that they can grope a woman, grab her arse, taunt her and rape her and that this is flirting, that if the woman doesn't like it then she is in the wrong.
Hint to those boys - you're wrong. - TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -4/+13They think, if a woman shows some neck, that means "rape me". This is not an exaggeration.
- Lloydinator, on 11/21/2008, -12/+20Breaking: Egyptian boys arrested for going through puberty.
- Revovisionary, on 11/21/2008, -1/+9The term "Meh" should never be in front of the words "cut" and "dicks." It simply is too serious of a subject even if you are trying to be sarcastic.
- davidg11, on 11/21/2008, -4/+11Whatever happened to harems?
- noahgelman, on 11/21/2008, -2/+9no
- TunaFishGangsta, on 11/21/2008, -5/+12Yes, they overwhelm the girl. Groping her, etc. Quite often it results in gang rape, and for the most part, it's accepted there.... so yes, four hundred.
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7I see what you did there...
- digitalArtform, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7Look up 'Eve teasing' as they call it in India. It usually involves groping.
- Lloydinator, on 11/21/2008, -2/+9That's President Obama to you.
- DemiRonin, on 11/21/2008, -1/+7Damn...what kinda flirting do they do over there?
- DMCer, on 11/21/2008, -4/+10How DARE you let yourself be raped! You're banished from this family, young lady.
-- Sharia - AzureRise, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6The better to rape you, my dear.
- lemur, on 11/21/2008, -1/+7The idea of "harem" was an invention of European writers viewing the Middle East through the lens of fantasy during Ottoman rule. The word "harem" is Turkish for "home", which was the part of the palace where the sultan lived in with his wife and family.
- inactive, on 11/21/2008, -4/+10First he gropes, then he sexually assaults, then he rapes, then he's released on parole or "rehabilitation" then he rapes again, gets caught, his rights are "compromised" leaves jail, rapes and murders a few more and turns into a psychopath.
Flirting is one thing, groping is whole other ball game. -
