Grinding, also known as juking, freak dancing or freaking (in the Caribbean, wining [1] ) is an intimate and romantic close partner dance where two or more dancers rub or bump their bodies against each other, usually with a female dancer rubbing or bumping her buttocks against a male dancer's genital area. The male dancer will typically place his hands on the female dancer's hips or waist. [2] [3]
Grinding gained widespread popularity as a hip hop dance [4] in night clubs, and eventually became popular at high school dances and proms in the US and Canada [5] where it has garnered controversy and has resulted in attempted bans. [6] A more graphic version called daggering involves a man slamming his genital area into a woman's buttocks.

Politico-military frameworks have historically inflicted militant-governed divisions between femicide and androcide; gender-selective policies increase violence on gendered populations due to their socioeconomic significance. Certain cultural and religious sentiments have also contributed to multiple instances of gendercide across the globe.

Traditional gender roles in Egypt are prevalent and clearly defined. These roles are largely associated with traditional Islamic family structures, wherein women's roles are closely tied to the domestic sphere and men's roles tied to the public sphere.
