Ya think they would have learned after the Lara Logan incident.

Are all French women such masters at hyperbole?

Unrest occurs?
 
2011-11-27 07:00:43 PM
That sounds really really bad.

It doesn't sound even close to as bad as it COULD have been. Why didn't these women have bodyguards?

Thread over.

Thanks for playing, everyone.

Damn it.

Yay Obama and the Arab Spring! These people deserve freedom! We sure this wasn't in a OWS camp?

"Besides beating me, the dogs of (central security forces) subjected me to the worst sexual assault ever," Eltahawy said on her Twitter account.

Evidently they weren't using enough tongue?

I always tweet my sexual assaults. They go something like this:

Don't be fatuous, Mugato.


/this work has been described as very vaginal
 
2011-11-27 07:08:22 PM
Very disgusting but after initial views of the previous situation why would they do this? I would not allow any female I am responsible for in to that situation. Their boss needs to take a look at himself.
 
2011-11-27 07:08:47 PM
I'm gonna guess either rape or rape.

God I hope these people get into it with Israel. Contrary to popular belief the Jews have huge dicks and love to fark, at least when it comes to bloodthirsty open war.

fusillade762: I'm gonna guess either rape or rape.

With lana Logan it was not rape but fingers penetrating her anus and vagina. Probably the same thing here.

Nuclear fire cures rapists.

These are professional international journalists, blithely going unescorted into a completely unpredictable situation where violence is not only possible, but likely.

What is wrong with this picture?

We should break your hands and shove a broom handle up your ass and see if you still consider it hyperbole.

Because blocking your female employees from doing their jobs doesn't make you chivalrous, it makes you a dick.

Let's not blame the women, let's not blame their bosses - let's blame the police and protestors who did this.

Going over there was a very dumb move on the part of those female journalist.

I have a very low opinion of middle eastern, persian, asian, southeast asian and african males. This story does nothing to dissuade me of that opinion.

I'd say yes on her... the other isn't any Laura Logan...

People in the US don't know about anything going on in Egypt.

Damn you. I was coming in here to say that!!

At least it wasn't rape rape.

I have no problem blaming police and protestors that did this - but as a boss I wouldn't send women to do their jobs without a male escort to many parts of the world. Its called proper risk management.

/same reason I don't automatically announce I'm gay to my hosts when I'm in China
//I just deal with the female strippers they insist on buying for me
///its better than being possibly beaten or if I'm lucky - just losing the business

and the atmosphere is so welcoming to american journalists.

So, did an actual rape happen or not? Because that's a dick slamming into unwilling pussy.

No, not sending in female journalists makes you smart and shows you care about their well being.

is it now? so why did joe paterno lose his job then?

Did anyone read the article? It sounds kinda made up to me.

At the end they throw this out....
'Once back in the US, Logan said she was molested for more than 40 minutes by a group of 200 or 300 men.'

WTF?

A group of 200 or 300 men? For 40 minutes? In the US?

I'm a male and I know it isn't a good idea to set foot in these countries.

Considering Islam's lack of respect for women in general, if I was female you could never pay me enough money to go to one of these shiatholes.

Maybe if I were in the US Army.

Jesus Christ. Do you tards really think we should've gone into Egypt and shut down the protests ourselves?

We did jack squat in Egypt and somehow it's Obama's fault. You know what...fark you. It's idiots with the mindset that you do that are the reason this country is so screwed up politically.

... but not their careers.

The same argument was used to keep women out of political office, medicine, law, business, bartending, etc.

Didn't you know? America is the policeman of the world. We should, nay, MUST be everywhere at all times, guiding the planet and all of its people with our wisdom. Because we are under God, and we're just that awesome.

If a journalist goes in to cover a violent or volatile situation then they should expect to see violent things happen (it's why they are there in the first place), sometimes they end up being the targets of that violence themselves. It's a hazard of the job. Sometimes the violence is mild (pushing and shoving) and sometimes it's extreme (murder). They wanted the "Glory" of firsthand reporting from the scene and glory doesn't come easy or else everyone would do it and then it's no longer glory (by default) but just another day on the job. Risks versus rewards and all of that.

Now what happened to them is a horrible thing that I wouldn't wish upon anyone but in this case it really is a case of being somewhere that they shouldn't have been (if personal safety was their first concern) and the possible outcome was foreseeable by any reasonable person. That of course doesn't mean that the people who violated them are free of guilt in the matter but I'm not going to let the women off of the hook either, they knew (or should have known) what could have happened but they went forward anyway.

tl;dr They were asking for it
