HEY YOU!

EGYPTIAN MEN


I was talking to a friend of mine (Egyptian Man) and we had an argument about Egyptian men.


We agreed that generalizing is not fair and that there are exceptions but we totally disagreed on the rest of the points.


He said: Egyptian men are religious and have ethics - compared to a European or an American man.


I replied: Bull! They are double faced double edged hypocrites! Their sense of religion does not go beyond discussing the issue of the veil "hijab" and performing the rituals. I rarely see an Egyptian man grasping the essence or the spirit of religion. It is all about appearances my dear friend. Religion did not stop them from sexually harassing women in the street. It did not stop them from cheating, lying, and having affairs. They got so high on the notion of being religious to the extent of playing God in the lives of others!


He said: They are responsible and reliable more than any other nationality


I replied: Sure! They would dodge the whole notion of marriage if they could to avoid those exact two things! Yes, he would come to rescue his girl whose car broke down in the middle of the desert but he will give her shit for it! He plays savior and hates it! He plays gallant and does not believe in it! He would rather she took care of her own stuff instead of being a burden on him - somehow I understand!


He said: They are good fathers


I replied: Yeah! You see them changing diapers, sitting in clinics, buying gifts, playing games, and spending quality time with their kids! Come on! Who are we fooling? The idea of becoming a father is a mere act of selfishness and egocentricity ... passing on his genes!


He said: They are good in bed


I replied: Yes of course!
