J Lo Sued For Being Lewd

Jennifer Lopez, says the BBC, is being sued in Morocco for being dressed “scantily” in a concert perf which “disturbed public order and tarnished women’s honor and respect” when it aired on TV. Next to be taken to task: Every man in Morocco.

Yup. Here’s what Frommer’s travel guide warns of female travelers looking to head there: “...Unwanted attention from Moroccan men is unfortunately a possibility... [they] perhaps have a not-so-respectful assumption of them via easily accessible Internet pornography... This generally takes the form of catcalls and straight-up come-ons. Blonde women may be singled out...Moroccan women...regularly put up with catcalls but will never stand for anything more, especially unwanted physical attention such as groping.” 


Which implies that the groping happens often enough to require a mention. 

And all of the above was from a male author at the site. A female author had this to say: “Be wary of large crowds...where young men sometimes get carried away and forget the rules of decorum...In the event that the harassment is elevated (groping, following, aggressive profanity), do not hesitate to use the same defense you would at home (yelling, pushing away, and so on).”

The group suing Morocco is a local educational group...which apparently has forgotten to educate its own male citizens on acting like anything other than a brewed-up 17-year-old who thinks hangin’ in the 7-Eleven parking lot on a school night is a great way to joyride in dad’s Datsun hatchback.
