5 Annoying Demands Egyptian Boyfriends Ask Their Girls to Do
Published

It seems like we still got a LONG way to go to reach gender equality in Egypt, as we live in a society where double standards are the norm. The male/female dilemma is an endless drama especially when it comes to male privilege in relationships. We have spotted some annoying demands Egyptian boyfriends always ask their girls not to do; keeping in mind that Egyptian men give themselves the green light to do those things.
Friends Approval:
Although you are no longer a little girl in school, your boyfriend/fiancé/ husband gives himself the right to pick your own friends. He will demand you cut ties with all your guy friends with the excuse that he knows how guys think, lol! He will go as far to pick your girlfriends claiming that he can distinguish between good and bad girls ignoring the fact that you are a mature woman who is capable of choosing her own friends on her own. Meanwhile, you have no say in who he befriends with, not to mention, he gets to keep all his girlfriends, and don’t you dare ask why because he will give that puppy face with the cliché “Don’t you trust me, babe?”
Former Relationships:
Somehow, we are in the 21st century and men still can’t fathom the idea that women can have former lovers, what’s more, the majority of eastern men can’t accept a girl with any previous romantic nor sexual experiences; meanwhile, they get to brag about all their previous young and wild adventures. Furthermore, women can get terribly stigmatized for having a past, while men get away with their past because simply they were born men
Greeting People:
While your man gets to great his friends with the way he pleases, you, on the other hand, you might not be allowed to great your friends the way you like; you might not be able to greet your male friends with a hug or a friendly kiss on the cheek, on the other hand, he has the right to do so with his female friends.
Passwords:
Let us just agree if someone else has your passwords, they are no longer passwords. Some men demand your social media passwords, phone password, work email password and any type of password they can put their hands on; it feels like it is a competition and he wins by claiming all your precious passwords. Seriously, we live in the year 2018 and that password trend is still going strong.
Clothes:
Women clothes are a never ending dilemma. Your man might claim that he knows how guys think, behave and look; however, that doesn’t give him the right to control what you wear, how you do your hair and makeup. It sounds so silly to take orders from your man on how you should dress up, what you’re allowed to cover or reveal.
We are not saying all men are equally bad, on the contrary, there are some good guys out there are absolute keepers; however, we are still experiencing those annoying demands by a large number of guys. If you want to force restriction on your woman, then, it is only equal and fair to force those exact same restrictions on yourself as well.

Valentines Day is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year where lovey-dovey gifts are exchanged. But this year, something out of the ordinary happened on February 14th.
Hayden Panettiere, well known actress of several movies and TV shows such as Scream 4, was punched by her boyfriend Brian Hickerson on the face. WHAT?
Brian was arrested and charged with assault at 2:30 am on Valentines Day. According to the press, Brian brutally struck Hayden on the right side of her face. When Brian was asked about what happened at the scene of the incident, he bitterly refused to answer questions. This is definitely not going to help his alibi!
A 911 call was made claiming that an intoxicated man is causing a scene, and with that said, the police rushed to the given address. When there, they witnessed Brian waiting outside Hayden’s door while Hayden was safely hiding inside her house.
Archived documents state that Hayden locked Brian out of a private home the couple had been staying at on Valentine’s Day. What’s quite ironic is that Brian is accusing Hayden for beating him up. Reports show quite the opposite. When Hayden was searched for injuries, her face had been swollen and a few cuts and bruises were scattered on her face and hand. With that statement, I think it’s obvious who attacked who.
According to documents, when Brian was asked by police if he punched Hayden, his “demeanor immediately changed and he avoided the question.” Brian also told police that nothing happened between the two of them.
The couple had hired a private chef for $700 meaning that he was there at the scene of the incident. When the Chef was asked about what had gone about throughout the day, he stated that the couple had been arguing the entire night.
Brian was charged with assault, alleged domestic beating, and even interference for failing to cooperate with the police.
Due to this incident, for Brian to be able to leave jail, he was asked to promise not to drink alcohol as well as submit to a search warrant and seizure of his vehicle if he were to break his oath. He was also asked to avoid all contact with Hayden whether it be phone calls, social media, or any other way.
This isn’t the first time Hayden and Brian get into a feisty argument. Back in 2019, it was claimed that Brian had previously assaulted her as well but Hayden didn’t want to press charges for the sake of what they have.
The couple has been dating around the time span of a year and a half, but I guess this is the end of the road for them. Women have the absolute right to break things off with a man, especially if that man is abusive. On the other hand, we do hope that Hayden is coping well with the break up!
