[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oldbag: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by egyguy: [qb] Ladies making claims of harassment, Please post pics. I don't believe you're all that you claim to be. Pics for us to take your claims seriously and maybe just maybe help you out. [/qb][/QUOTE]This suggests to me Egyguy that you are thinking that sexual harassment will be related to attractiveness. No, its a power and control thing - in the UK for example there have been instances of 90 year old women being raped and also tiny babies. This link relates to rape specifically. [URL=http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/faq.html#_Toc120693220]web page[/URL] Now, my experiences of sexual harassment in Egypt are minimal compared to what I and very close friends and relatives have experienced in the UK, and I have never felt in fear of my LIFE in Egypt the way I have in the UK, but I am not belittling the experiences of others here in Egypt at all. Everyone's opinions will reflect either their own experiences or those of people they know personally. Some UK people will never have experienced or rarely experienced the things that I list below so will not quite believe its as bad as Egypt, for me, my experience is precisely reversed, and maybe I should consider myself very lucky that I have experienced very little of it in Egypt. In the **UK** for example, I have either experienced or have close friends/relatives who have experienced the following items of sexual harassement - more than one instance of most of them: - rape - men on public transport putting hands up skirts - men on very crowded metro trains pressing their hard-ons into backs - men standing in bushes and wanking so school girls can see their 'glory' - men getting their willies out on trains - men following late at night in a way DELIBERATELY designed to cause fear - men walking behind late at night wanking and getting home to discover ejaculate all down back of coat - men grabbing boobs in public places - men manoeuvering you into position from which you cannot escape and then groping you - men in senior positions making life hell and causing loss of job to junior females who reject their advances - 14 year old boy in class start wanking while teacher writing on board so when she turns round she gets a good view of it - car loads of young men on Saturday nights driving past whistling, cat-calling and the like - men at work posting up nudey women calendars when there is only 1 woman working there - and then getting very angry when she retaliates with a fit nudey bloke calendar. - oh yes, and being propositioned in the toilets of a pub by an aging lesbian My personal experiences relate to 9 of the above situations and on a couple of occasions I have been terrified for my life. Once I ran into a police station late at night begging a police officer to escort me home because I knew someone (a stranger who was angry with me for rejecting his advances earlier) was waiting for me in the dark side road I had to go up to get home. Sad but true. Sexual harassment occurs all over the world and in many guises. [/QB][/QUOTE]
