More from Nir Rosen, expert on Mideast sexual assault
It turns out that the Lara Logan incident was not the first time journalist Nir Rosen had opined on the subject of female journalists being assaulted in the Middle East. On August 2, 2010, during an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review about Wikileaks, Rosen had offered another nugget of trenchant observation on the topic:
[Q]Women have an easier time getting around?
[A]In general in the Muslim world, non-Muslim women are at an advantage. There’s like a force field around them, people don’t want to come too close. Jill Carroll maybe was an exception, but there haven’t been that many women who I know of that have been attacked. Maybe groped here and there. Men are just maybe more uncomfortable around women, or don’t even see them.
“Men are just maybe more uncomfortable around women, or don’t even see them.”
Can someone translate this sentence for me?
Typical left-wing double-talk….
What planet is he from? I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the Middle East and non-Arab Muslim countries, and I’ve never noticed any “advantages” that women–Western or local–had. Unless you consider getting groped, felt up, stared at, and insulted to be advantages. I don’t.
