Even 8 year old Egyptian boys harass women during Eid

From Al Ahram:

The anti-sexual harassment campaign "I witnessed harassment" confirms several cases of sexual harassment over the holiday weekend these past two days - including perpetrators as young as 8 and 10 years old.

The campaign deployed more volunteers around downtown Cairo during Eid El-Fitr, the holiday that ends the Ramadan month of fasting, when sexual harassment is known to explode.

Reports described everything from verbal to physical assault and mob sexual attacks.

Volunteers raise passersby's awareness and intervene when they see harassment. The group says they increased volunteers around cinemas when films start playing, when crowds are larger in number and harassment cases likewise increase.

Sexual harassment has been a growing problem in Egypt. More than 99 percent of hundreds of women surveyed in seven of the country's 27 governorates reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment, ranging from minor harassment to rape, says the UN, Egypt's Demographic Centre and the National Planning Institute in a report in April.

Hey, if even 8 year old boys are harassing women, they must have a good reason. We should work to understand the root causes and eliminate them.

In other words, women should be banned from all public areas of Egypt, since the existence of women in public causes the men to act the way they do.

I mean, isn't that the logic that some people use concerning Arab and Islamic terrorism?
