    Did anyone suggest that sexual harassment was only found in Arab countries?

    On the other hand your country is especially notorious for it:

    In addition, women are constantly subjected to violence in the form of
    sexual harassment and abuse on the street, and approximately ninety-seven percent of Egyptian women are the
    victims of female genital mutilation.


    source


    Experienced by 98% of foreign women visitors

    Experienced by 83% of Egyptian women

    62% of Egyptian men admitted harassing women

    53% of Egyptian men blame women for 'bringing it on'



    Western women who took part in the study demonstrated a strong belief in their entitlement to personal safety and freedom of movement, she says, but this was totally absent among Egyptian respondents.

    No-one spoke about freedom of choice, freedom of movement or the right to legal protection. No-one showed any awareness that the harasser was a criminal, regardless of what clothes the victim was wearing.

    The young film-maker told the BBC she was repeatedly groped in broad daylight by a van driver in a Cairo traffic jam as she walked on the pavement.
    His behaviour made her so angry she ran after the van and held on to the side mirror to force the driver to stop so she could take him to a police station.

    She was equally shocked by the attitude of other passers-by. Some tried to dissuade her from going to the police - others blamed her for what she was wearing (a baggy sports outfit).

    In the end, after a tussle with the man that lasted for more than one hour, the strong-willed Ms Ostath dragged the man to the police station.

    But even there, police officers refused to open an investigation and insisted on the presence of her father despite the fact that she is not a minor - she is 26.

    .....

    The British foreign office says Egypt is one of the countries with the highest number of cases reported to embassy staff regarding sexual offences against visiting women.


    source


    In October a mob of men and boys sexually assaulted women in Cairo while they were celebrating the Eid holiday marking the end of Ramadan. Eight men are reported to have been arrested and face prosecution. These attacks mark a repeat of similar violence two years earlier when police officers were videotaped doing nothing to stop the mob attacks.

    source

    The sharp distinction between Western womens strong belief in their right to personal dignity and Egyptian women's attitude illustrates the cultural difference.

    I hardly think Lara Logan will feel at risk from being raped in a crowd in London while being accompanied by her camera crew and not least a personal bodyguard after reading this do you?

    Your attitude to her case mirrors that of the police mentioned in the above quotes, quite despicable. However by your own definition you are a felool:

    Satisfying your point nr. 8:

    8. Contributed directly to the demeaning of Egypt's regional/international status and would again

    I might as well say that there is a massive problem with Asian (mainly pakistani) sex gangs in England as well. But surely this isn't a competition. It seems the OP has little point to it.

    Still no word for English women sexually harassing the locals during their vacations abroad.

    The point was to use this article to ridicule Lara Logan although being publically gang raped in a huge crowd while being accompanied by a camera crew and a personal body guard can hardly be compared to what is mentioned here like wolf whistles etc.!

    I know London a great deal. And if this was true that half of young women were sexually assaulted. It would make heated debated on my favourite radio show. LBC London.

    Now that is often ignored. Female sexual harrassment of young men. They probably enjoy too much to make a fuss.

    Enjoy being grabbed in the crotch by a woman twice your age that begs you loudly for a quicky AND sues you for rape in the morning ?
    I don't think so .


    Yes sexual harassment is bad but it works both ways reporting only the one side is kind of cheap

    Harassment is not the same as assault. A wolf whistle can be construed as sexual harassment. The other day at work one of my colleagues dropped a coin into a container which she couldn't reach. I bent over to pick it up for her and as I did so my buckel caught and I exclaimed "aw". At that moment another colleague entered the room saw her standing beside me as I bent over and jokingly said "you said that too early" to which we all laughed. Maybe in England or US I could have claimed sexual harassment by all of two women!

    Oh, I'm afraid of this. Its a sign that things are really bad in London. It seems to be a human male's natural instinct to breed when tough times come. Rapes will go up soon if life gets worse. Murders too.

    I don't know what London can do. I think its frowned upon to neuter the human male population. Men are expected to control themselves when they run around virile. That country needs to get good times back and soon.

    The report fails to make clear how many women were harassed by other women .
    Or by old men carrying white sticks--- my preferred modus operandi.
    Bending over to pick up something and taking a photo up women's skirts is another tremendous sport -- unless you wet yourself . .

    Must be a UK sport unknown here even for old men who wet themselves.

    Good luck London. You're not going to change a hundred thousand years of human instinct. At some point you have to understand some basic evolutionary realities and change your expectations accordingly.

    Interesting.

    To what regard is that applied to London to the view of human instinct in your historical perspective?

    My point is that feminism has gone way too far. Men will always admire and leer at women. Feminists seem to want a completely sterile world where hormones don't come into play. If you make it illegal for men to say appreciative things about women on the street you're going to have get ready for millions of criminal cases. Why can't we just accept that men enjoy the sight of women, and that while it may be crude, it's best to tell the guy to screw off and go on about your business. The physical touching, which was 4% of the population, is a completely different matter altogether though.

    Most of the rapes in Sweden and Norway are committed by mooslums too. Yet no one is allowed to blame the "religion" which is obviously the cause. It is a murderous, misogynistic religion and WWIII against islam should have started on 9/12/2001.
