36% of Egyptian men are beaten by their wives

Yes, women also beat their husbands! That was the conclusion of a study of spousal violence conducted by the Dialogue and Development Center in Egypt. According to Al Arabiyah Television Channel, the study analyzed all stories published about spousal abuse in Egyptian Newspapers for the last six months of 2005.

One Al Arabiyah reporter said, “The results were surprising.” It turned out that women had committed 111 crimes against men (85 homicides, 15 thefts, and 11 beatings).”In contrast men committed 172 crimes against women,(150 homicides, 13 attempted homicides, and 9 beatings).

Saed Abdel-Hafiz from the Dialogue and Development Center and who conducted the study told the Al Arabiyah television: “We always hear about women poisoning their husbands because it enables them to avoid physical confrontations, but women are also becoming more creative. Some inject their husbands with poisonous substances, while others use simple household products like hair dye.”

Although the results revealed that men were still ahead in committing crimes against their wives, the study created a lot of controversy, which was evident in the headlines in the Egyptian Newspapers. “Husbands Massacre,” “Men are victims of the Soft Hands,” and “By poison, Choking, Kicking, Boxing and Severe Beating--- Women Respond to Verbal Abuse,” are some of the headlines.

Said Abdel-Hafiz, “the study results were surprising because they reveal an increase in violence committed by women. They committed only sixty less crimes than men in a period of six months.”

Nazic Nasir, a professor of social science in the American university in Cairo, believes that women are pushed to use violence because, “they have to deal with injustices and abuses. And they have no agencies to turn to for help in getting out of their unhealthy situations.”

According to Najad Alberie, secretary general of the Democratic Development Organization, “Women beating their husbands are not a new phenomenon. Researchers tend to make mistakes because they tend to base their research on data acquired from local police departments. But men often are ashamed to make a police report if they are physically abused. In reality many men are beaten by women.”

Alberie also said that wives who are subjected to beatings have to make a police report because that is the only way for them to be able get divorced from their husbands. Husbands, on the other hand, can divorce their wives anytime they want.

"On the other hand,somewhere in America an American woman is raped every 2 minutes"

That's supposedly 262,8000 rapes yearly.

According to 2006 FBI data from nation-wide crime reporting in 2006 there were 92,455 rapes total.

I read many on-line newspapers and rape reports are seldom an every day occurrence.

In fact, I recently read a statement by a large-city district attorney that of reported rapes, over the years, his team of prosecutors, after researching reports, have found that 40-60 percent of all reported rapes turn out to be false accusations done for various reasons with a common reason being a female lashing out at a man that left her for various reasons.

You don't do much research, do you?

To be a good human being is to be enduring a make of openness to the far-out, an gift to trusteeship undeterminable things beyond your own control, that can govern you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly impressive with the fettle of the ethical autobiography: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something kind of feeble, but whose mere special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
