Youm7 writer pens a piece to “warn” about Russian women

Some sorry excuse for carbon atoms at Youm7 authored a vile, misogynistic piece last week “warning” Egyptian football fans about Russian women — and the world, unfortunately, took notice. The Associated Press’ Hamza Hendawi notes that the piece’s author told her readers that “Russian women love money and always look for it.” The writer also said, “Don’t try to escape your fat wife to look in Russia for the skinny woman of your dreams. It is difficult to find a Russian woman with an average weight. They are either very slim or very fat.” When asked by Hendawi about her motivation for writing, the author said “the reason why I wrote the article was to represent Egyptian women, many of whom expressed fear on social media their husbands will travel to Russia and hook up with Russian women… All I am saying is that many [Russian women] have these traits or habits, but we don’t mean all of them.” The Moscow Times also took note of this. Youm7 seems to have taken the original article off its website but you can view that here.
