An ignorant teenager (maybe early 20s) jumped on me while cars were driving by (off course non of which stopped to help), he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a completely covered woman walking down the street (when I say covered I mean abaya, scarf, half of face the other half covered by oversized sunglasses....so really nothing there to see)<br />he didn't expect me to have gone through a few courses of self defence hehehehehehehe he will regret ever opening his jeans fly.<br />I still remember what he looks like, I thought of alerting the police but what do I say.....some man jumped on me and then what....the taboo of words is intoxicating, and really I know exactly what would they say, you were dressed inappropriately, you provoked him......or even better, why were you walking on the street<br /><br />We need to wake up smell the fresh coffee, and give these poor teenagers (both boys and girls) demystification lessons about the other sexmelicieusehttp://melicieuse.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-71878016365250733472010-01-23T18:28:45.332+00:002010-01-23T18:28:45.332+00:00That was a great post.

If everybody lies, but expect me to say the truth, then should I also lie? I cannot then tell the truth about my lies because that would defeat the purpose of my rebellion. If the subject of the hypocrisy is itself a bad thing, how can carrying it out be a good thing?<br /><br />"This is like somebody saying, well everybody does drugs but they hide it, so I will do it in the open because I am not a hypocrite."<br /><br />But then that argument makes the mistake of thinking that hypocrisy is worse than doing drugs, for example. But it is not evident that this is true, so this can't be a natural reaction at all, unless it is being encouraged as a natural reaction!<br /><br />Thanks for your intelligent comment and for the link, I will check it out when I have a moment.Maysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-45606487919369206322010-01-23T14:29:06.619+00:002010-01-23T14:29:06.619+00:00Ah sexual harassment...our favourite subject here ...Ah sexual harassment...our favourite subject here in Egypt and I do think you identify the reasons.<br /><br />But it is much more than just that...its also political, people unable o express their political frustration venting their lack of power on the weaker sex...it's boredom (high unemployment) and a general lack of morals despite the obsession with the outward appearances of religosity.<br /><br />Your comment on the idea of جـــــراءة is not entirely true though, I think this is a natural anti-reaction to what's happening (particularly in Egypt) a reaction to the hypocrisy that abounds which makes people want to rebel...do exactly the opposite of what is expected by a society of hypocrites.<br /><br />This is perfectly represented by Inas el Dogheidy's Ramadan program:<br /><br />http://www.moheet.com/show_files.aspx?fid=293922<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUG9Ss90DhoAmirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124518156966095107noreply@blogger.com
