Traffic bullying of a woman driving a car: A field study at Fayoum University

The study aims to identify images of traffic bullying of women driving, ways of expressing it, its social causes, and how women confront the bully, by applying it to female faculty members and employees who drive cars at Fayoum University. The study relies on the anthropological approach, with its tools, the field work guide and the interview. The study was conducted on (20) respondents, which were divided into (10) female faculty members in different scientific degrees, and (10) female employees in different administrative positions.
The study concluded that verbal insults, overtaking the bully by speeding, not adhering to the specified lane, disturbing the car alarm, and disturbing the lights are among the forms of traffic bullying. Ways of expressing traffic bullying were sarcasm, sarcasm, and rude gestures with the hand, tongue, and other gestures. And that among the social causes of traffic bullying are the increase in male authority and society's refusal of women to drive. The study also showed that in light of the differences in gender, age, and status, especially among female faculty members and female employees in higher positions, they respond to the bully with insults or gestures (especially waving hands). In addition, there are respondents of women drivers who refused to respond to the bully and ignored the bully, due to the inferior view of women, and the difficulty of proving bullying, especially by hand gestures, tongue, and verbal insults.
