of Egypt…
Female rights are an important topic in Egypt nowadays. And Females have all right to talk about their rights because the situation in Egypt is everything but good for them.
But. To make it short. In weak moments I am misleaded to think, that it is partly their own fault. Somehow.
As everyday we went home by our GUC bus after a busy day. Normally you can use the ride home for a short nap. But not today. A mother and her little prince sat in the first row and something seemd to misplease his majesty. The child, maybe 4 years old, started to scream, to cry and finally to hit his mother. This is the moment, I thought, the mother would start to be angry with her son or to bluster him.
But no! Far wrong! She tried to convince her child not to hit her with sweeties and warm words.
And because it worked that perfect, he did not stop screaming and hitting her all the way home.
Some day this little prince will become an adult. And all the women will complain, with all rights, what made this male to behave this way…
Yes, sorry. This is much too simple. The problem is much more complex. And harrassment is a mans fault and not a womans! But we are seeking to change the picture of woman, men have… and it might be a good starting point to explain the little princes, how they should behave in front of a female, for example his mother.
