That means the women that responded believed the ogling to be insulting and demeaning and harassment, otherwise they would not have complained about it. It's like complaining that a restaurant serves rare steaks with blood dripping from it. You might like your meat like that, so to you the restaurant is great. I found it disgusting and would tell people that it was so. SO you see, how a woman feels about the ogling is the key here. Looking at someone briefly is not ogling. Ogling is staring incessantly with sexually leering overtones. It's uncomfortable and it makes a woman feel like a piece of meat. It is NOT attractive nor welcome by the majority of females, and especially not women in a country as sexually conservative and repressed as Egypt.

We're not just here for you to look at. Want to ogle? Go to a strip club or night club. If we're at the grocery, don't ogle. Don't ask me for a number. Save it for the bars, loser!
