I don’t care. Whatever conditions men are under, women are under the same conditions. There is no excuse for their behavior,” said Nour El-Tahawy, a veiled middle-aged Egyptian. SING it, sistah! I'm sick and tired of men whining about how delayed marriage turns them into pigs. Sorry, but if you forcefully touch a complete stranger intimately in the street, you were a pig to start with. Do Egyptian men think they are the only ones in the world who can't get some till they are married, and do they think that women somehow have no needs of their own?
