most of the laws in the middle east about women's sexuality is to "protect" men from being horny cause they think they can't control themselves. their culture teaches that if a man sees a hot woman he loses control and can't stop himself from what happens next. and that it's all the woman's fault for letting that happen. this is all just so men have an excuse to rape without being judged for it.

As fucked up as this is, it is miles away from the most fucked up thing in that article...

Young TikTok stars have become the latest target of Egyptian state authorities. In May, a 17-year-old girl posted a TikTok video of herself crying, saying she had been gang-raped by a group of young men. The authorities swiftly arrested her and charged her with promoting debauchery.

Yes. In Islam, women need to be modest and submissive to men. Most of the popular singers get death threats on the regular. A very popular Lebanese singer lost custody of her children to her husband because shes seen as a slut for dressing provocatively. Even if a woman is raped, they generally blame the woman for tempting the man/men and its seen as a huge shame on her and her family. Most women wont even file cases against their rapists because of how guilty they feel and generally their families are against them bringing attention to what happened because they dont want society judging them.

There was a mini-series in Egypt years ago where they wanted to bring attention to this. It was a show about 3 women getting raped on their drive somewhere. One woman kills herself, the other is sent away from her family after her fianc breaks up with her, and the third decides to file a case. Her family is completely against her, her husband divorces her over it and alienates their kids from her. In the end, the rapists are convicted and punished by death (the punishment for rape in Egypt), but she lost everything.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Its ingrained in society. I keep hoping that stories like this will stir something there one day. Im very glad my parents left Egypt and I was born in the West.

It's screwed up, but I never understand why people skirt the rules in Middle Eastern societies. It makes much more sense to lay low and get the hell outta dodge as soon as possible.

Most religions are poisonous to the mind. Especially when it comes to things of a sexual nature.

I mean in this country people will still victim blame and tell women "you shouldn't have put yourself in that situation" or "why were wearing that if you didn't want that kind of attention". Not as much as 30 years ago, but those people are still out there. And the US is a country that has managed to cast off some of it's religious indoctrination. In a place like that where the zealots run the show this sort of thing will continue.

Prudes is outdated. We call them SJW now.

Egyptian SJWs are even more progressive than their Western counterparts.

Isnt Egypt technically not part of the Middle East?

Yeah, its in Africa. But its currently an Arab country with Islam being the dominant religion. I think thats why it gets lumped in with the Middle East by some.

Yeah, it is called people wanting to be victims and hating what they views as unchecked capitalism which clearly doesn't exist in America. Not to mention China and Russia are constantly manipulating people to create discontent.

Yes, culturally and ethnically it is more similar to the middle east. That kind of goes for North Africa in general.

It is pretty interesting to see cultures being judged based on other cultures tenets. You guys ever think you might not be right because truly there is no right or wrong?

Yeah, Nazi Germany just had a different culture is all. It wouldn't be fair to judge.

You can judge. But you are judging based on your own prejudice. How many Americans are concerned with how the English settlers took hold of North American soil that belonged to the indians? Of the bloodshed? Had the Nazis won you'd probably be now praising their actions. It's how history works.

It sucks what happened way back when but there is nothing that can be done to change it since time machines haven't been invented.
