I was reading all the previous posts on groping in Egypt: if a man gropes you, I think you should fight back. People should come to your aid because groping is not allowed in their culture. I think a good phrase to know would be, "Stop that man/boy! He just pinched me bum/groped my breasts/etc."
Do you think a woman would face assault charges for fighting back? |
When I was a student at AUC (American University/Cairo), the orientation went into some detail when it came to groping and sexual harrassment. Their advice was *not* to try to fight back physically if groped, because the students who did that generally ended up being punched -- yikes!!
My personal choice, and I've only had to use it on the mixed car on the metro, is to glare at the perpetrator and say "3iib 3alaik!" This is a rather strong "Shame on you!"
