U.N. Women and Promundo conducted a study on sexual harassment, as they asked 4,830 men in the countries of Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine if they had ever sexually harassed women in public with anything from "ogling" to "groping" and "rape." Embarrassingly, the numbers ranged from 31% (in Lebanon) to 64% (in Egypt). If that wasn't bad enough, up to 90% of the men surveyed (in Egypt) said they harassed these women because they thought it was fun.
Sadly, those weren't even the most eye-popping numbers in the survey. In all four countries, a greater number of men than women said the women liked the harassment due to the attention they received from it. In Morocco, 71% of men felt this way.
I'm sorry, but men really are idiots sometimes. There is a stark difference between flirting and harassing, between complimenting and obsessing, between making a woman feel flattered and making her feel violated. According to the men in this survey, they see nothing wrong with the following conversation:
Man: "Hey baby, I saw you slide into that seat with ease. How about I slide into you?"
Woman: "Excuse me?!?"
Man: "Hey, I know how girls like you like it. How about you and me go to my trailer and get it on like Donkey Kong?"
Woman: "Not in a million years, buddy!"
Man: "We won't be alive then, so how about right now?"
Woman: "Get your hand off me!"
Man: "You're so hot, Death Valley is jealous! Let's make you hotter! I just FeBrezed the whole trailer right after I took a massive crap. Taco Bell always does that to me. Anyway, so it's smelling nice in there now. What do you say?"
Woman: "I've got a gun in my purse just to warn you..."
Man: "I've got a gun in my pants, ready to go off just from looking at you."
Woman: "You're sick!"
Man: "You know you like it! You're just playing hard-to-get. Speaking of hard..."
Woman: "Those rocks in your head?"
Man: "No, my junk, who I call the Incredible Hulk. He's big, mean, and green."
Woman: "You might want to get that checked out..."
Man: "Yeah, by you. Come on, be my doctor, give me a hernia check."
Woman: "I'm warning you, if you say or do one more thing, I'm going to kick your ass!"
Man: "Kick it, baby. That's how we'll start. Kick it hard!"
Woman: "Last chance... Shut up or..."
Man: "Or..."
Woman goes Wonder Woman on his ass
Man: "Hey, what was that for? Where are you going? I thought you liked it!"
Yup, men really are idiotic a-holes sometimes... I'm sorry about that, ladies, but I can promise you we're not all like that, just more than I'd care to admit.
