I recall one time, I was taking the bus to the university. As I was going up to get in the bus, I was pushed back roughly, and eventually fallen back a step or two. Then a girl started shouting at me: “Shoo gilet el-7aya hay!” [How low of you], and she continued with few other remarks.>>At that point I didn’t realize what happened [actually until this date I am not sure what really happened]. I wanted to shout back at her, but then I got a grip on myself and totally ignored her, and didn’t say a word back.>>Not sure what happened and why she got mad at me, but I suspect that my elbow might have hit her boob, and maybe she thought it was intentional.>>The point is, these things happen [guys sexually harassing girls], and they make girls suspicious of every move a guy makes around them. Maybe that girl later on realized that it was an accident, maybe not. But its bad that every move is suspect.>>This also reminds me of a teacher at our school who used to hate that anyone stand behind him. He has the feeling that anyone standing behind him will finger him. Too much for paranoia!!

The other day I was with a couple of friends/colleagues driving back to work after lunch break. We stopped at the traffic light, and 2 women passed by. Both my friends started whistling, propositioning them, and commenting on their butt, their breasts and what have you.>>I was so embarrassed to be with them.>>On a different note, about the public places thing, I’ve had the opposite thing happen to me where a woman I don’t know started massaging my leg with hers on a 7 hour flight. I guess the difference is guys don’t usually mind that. That was the shortest 7 hour flight I’ve ever had.

I just read DM’s comment. I had a similar misunderstanding. I was shopping at the mall while listening to my mp3 player. Suddenly I heard a woman shouting at me (Perv!). It turns out she thought I was winking at her. When I was blinking. I was like: (lady, a wink requires keeping one eye shut, whereas a blank is instantaneous). She said (yeah right), and I’m like (Get over yourself), and I walked on.

what happened with devil’s mind happened with me too. I was hanging out with a bunch of guys (around 9 with only one girl among us).. All of a sudden, the girl shouts at us: “stop bumping into my boobs. almost all of you elbowed it”..none of us really meant it coz she is our friend…its her fault for standing in the middle of hallway with her large body and over-sized breast.

صراحه اذا اردت أن اسرد ما تعرضت له شخصيا من ايام الطفولة فلن تكفي هذه المساحه >لم اكن ادرك حينها ان ما اتعرض له هو تحرشات جنسية ، لم اعي ذلك الا بعد ان بلغت من العمر عتيا >>الان عندما اتذكر تلك الحوادث التي مررت بها افكر لو كان تفكيري حينها كما هو عليه الان لكنت تصرفت بطريقه مغايره كليا لتصرفي وقتها >>دائما عندما تذكر امامي مثل تلك التصرفات اتمنى ان افهم شيء واحد فقط >ما المتعه التي يجنيها الرجل من مجرد ملاصقة جسده لجسد الفتاه الجالسه بجانبه في السرافيس والباصات >ما المتعه التي يشعر بها عندما يهمس في اذن فتاه بكلمات نابيه > فعلا اتمنى لو ادرك ما هية هذه المتعه التي لطالما حاولت ادراكها ولكني >فشلت !

Khulood, it’s instinctual, and like all instincts it has to be tempered by civilization. Something that’s a bit lacking in some of us 🙂

I just wonder why in our conservative societies the intensity of girls’ harassment in the streets is significantly more than other more/less developed countries? And we still think we have the best reference of ethics!

The phenomena is explained by the comment made by Rabe’e abdel-wahab, with his remark ‘stupid girls’. Blaming the victim, the harassed, the woman effectively gives permission to perverts to harass women who they perceive to be doing something wrong or stupid, be that not wearing a tent, or wearing a tent (depending on ur personal preference), it could be attending a music concert, going to the market at peak hours, sitting in front of ur uni, riding a bus, stepping out of the house—>>You cannot blame how women dress or the westerfication of the media and media workers. Since the portrayal of seduction, provocation and such is much more obvious in the west as is a more licentious attitude towards intimate relationships. In amman i was very cautious, since I had been exposed to couple of awkward situations (a car once reversed into my friend so the driver could see her jump—many more examples though) and became very of men. This has not been the case in england (considering the arguments blaming women for their harassment u would expect it to be worse here), in fact i am more at ease on public transport in London than i ever was in amman. >>Thanks observer for this post, its really needed!!

الأم مدرسة إن أعددتها أعددت شعباً طيب الأعراف
لا أظن أن بنت محجبة ومحتشمة و محترمة في مشيها قد تتعرض لمثل هذه المواقف
يا أمهات المستقبلLikeLike
Do you have something to say?
