I'm an Egyptian woman ergo I must enjoy being sexually harassed

On being an Egyptian woman in Egypt, and fully expecting the sexual harassment that comes with the territory (Sarcasm warning label); A forecast of change for each and every Arab nation; a version of the shoe-throwing game that became a 'hit' with the Bush-Turkish shoe-throwing incident; and why a blogger cares less about Saudi women driving now.

In Egypt, women can invite sexual harassment and provocation by just being out alone - however dressed at times. Perhaps
the only solution is to find a partner as refuge and if necessary a fake one to borrow that keeps the hands off cause 'I'm taken'.

I’m an Egyptian Woman and I Like Being Sexually Harrassed

"I wake up every morning looking forward to getting sexually harassed in Cairo. Because a day gone by without being whistled at like cattle or groped like a melon at a vegetable store is a day unlived in this city. Right?"

Both judgements are premature, and neither is correct."

Saudi women driving: I’m caring less and less

"I get regular emails sent to my Gulfblog.com account from various sources. One of them, curiously, is AIPAC with its own unique brand of selective vision. More recently I keep getting press releases regarding Hilary Clinton and the current issue of women in Saudi driving."
