Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh recently shared his misogynistic views on TV, in which he states that women who wear ripped jeans, specifically from the back, deserve to be sexually harassed and raped.

Wahsh made the statement during the Infirad Show, hosted by Saeed Hassaseen, and has since sparked outrage in the country.



Elaborating further, Wahsh also said that it is a "national duty" to rape women who wear such clothes as they are "inviting men to harass them."

"Girls must respect themselves so others respect them. Protecting morals is more important than protecting borders," Wahsh said, according to Al Arabiya.



The debate was aired by the satellite channel Al-Assema on Oct. 19 and focused on the country's draft law fighting prostitution and debauchery.
