I didn't need this article from Reuters to tell me what I already know: sexual harassment of women is widespread in Egypt.
According to the article, nearly two thirds of the 2,000 Egyptian men surveyed said they had harassed women - that's nothing new for anyone who has ever been to Egypt. The most disturbing statistic, however, was that more than half the men said the women were at fault for the harassment. Most of the women, the article points out, said they did nothing to stop the abuse.
Those two points are exactly why sexual harassment is such a huge problem here and why I don't believe it will go away anytime soon.
