Egyptian men versus American men

"The US has one of the highest rates of rape. Actually, up to 20 percent of American women have been raped. This is in a country that has laws against sexual violence and many campaigns to push women to report sexual violence. However, we do not hear about American men being a “disgrace” for their nation, and surely, the US is never listed in any of those silly indexes on “the most dangerous places for women.” If a Western woman is a victim of sexual violence in an Arab country that does not legitimize a statement against Egyptian men that hyper-sexualizes and portrays them as sexually violent."
