Ladies warned not to Jet-ski

Ladies, it's your fault entirely if men choose to harass you. You should stay in your home and only venture forth with the protection of a suit of armour and several large men(because you can't trust just one man, he may become distracted by an unaccompanied woman and run off and harrass her) and a couple of women (in case those men choose to gang rape you, you should have 8 other women with you so they can act as witnesses to said rape.)

Dubai: A 24-year-old Arab woman was injured in a jet ski accident in Al Mamzar in April, marking the first incident of its kind in Dubai, according to the Dubai Ports Police Station.

The woman was chased by a group of male jet-skiers which caused her to increase speed and lose control of her jet ski, and she sustained a minor injury when her face hit the steering wheel, Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Al Mazyoud, Director of Ports Police, said.

"We advise women not to go jet-skiing on their own as this may result in men harassing them and causing them to become confused and lose control," he

Once I stumbled on a stone and hurt myself trying to get away from two chinese massage girls in Dubai...Later I realised I shouldn't have walked away but talked to them and politely declined..

Why would those men chase her? Was she wearing a bikini? Would she be chased if she was wearing a burka?

Shocking, this woman should have kept her vagina locked up at home where it would be safe instead it was harassing these poor men.

No we don't need men to protect us, we need men to learn to control themselves.

Poor thing, she must've been so frightened - In the middle of the sea and lots of men harassing you, where do you go?

Well thats what live is all about, true but sad, in the US army 1 in 3 women is harassed/raped sexually, it does make you think, we do need men to protect us in some sort of way.

I say warn those men who harassed that lady! not the other way around.

Why not give warnings to men that harassment is a serious offense!

I so know what you mean, since I am here in qatar there are even some times that I have to cover my cars window with the sunshade , uuuulllgg makes you feel so uuullgg, but when m wiv hubby feels so much more better. ( can not tell him ofcourse, as we are strong independent women lol)

I secretly even brought a facial veil, havent used it yet though, but you never know.

And they should be jailed. Problem is they were not, am I right? If so I will warn the women, out of concern for them to stay away. Yes..stay away till proper penalties are issued against offenders. When you know justice will not be on your side,why bother?

Instead try to first bring about change(petitions, complaints to media etc etc).Make sure the law is on your side and only then go for such sports.

Once again;what the men did was shameful and it's sad if they indeed walked away with no punishments. Instead the authorities are only warning the women? Shame shame!

Bloody hell!! yeah, no wonder... it makes me remember having to use sunglasses while driving just in case some pervy would think I was eyeing him... hahahaha , thank God I can now laugh out loud about it. Goshhhhh!!

Nope.. for being chased.. NO, but for injuring herself.. Yes!!

And mind it.. I'm not saying what those men did was right

The point here is why the ladies are warned to stay away from Jetski, as though to give full authority to men to chase any lady who is skiing. This is totally absurd.

So you're blaming the woman for being chased Captain Lost?

Maybe she broke her hymen as well while jet skiing. No good man would want to marry her now.

Face. Palm.

'Religion' is not a catchall, carte blanche to cover up every rude and awful thing that goes on here. I'm fairly certain no where in any religious text does it say men have the right to chase a woman to the point she does herself harm!

How is this bashing on Islam and Muslims? Pretty sure I'm bashing Men in this region and the Dubai police.

By sajmarhab• 22 May 2012 11:09

Implement sharia, then you will see the result. after that nobody dare to dream of harrassing women..

actually... am just thinking about you. what kinda fobia you are having, do you feel satisfied, when you start bashing on Islam and Muslims. if you are getting enough satisfaction, then go on... and search in the net also...
