As usual, men want women helping them overthrown an oppressive government, and then what do they get for their pains from these men who stood by their side?
CAIRO - Women hoping to extend their rights in post-revolutionary Egypt were faced with a harsh reality Tuesday when a mob of angry men beat and sexually assaulted marchers calling for political and social equality, witnesses said.

I never get such ingratitude. Do these men think they owe women nothing for their help? That now that EVERYone's oppressor is gone, they want to take the reins and oppress someone else? These men obviously DON'T think much of women. What did they think these women were out in the streets for? Obviously JUST to help the men, because men count, women don't. ::) ::) ::) It makes me so incredibly angry.

This is just too ironic. These "heroes" are finally starting to show their true colors.
I wonder what other little surprises the lauded new Egypt will have in store??

Haven´t you learned anything from recent events? Islam is not "one" religion, there are many branches of Islam that are pretty different from one another.
I´ve often heard the argument that Muslims don´t want democracy, for example. Well, look at what have happened. Muslims fighting in Egypt - Tunisia - and now Lybia for....democracy.
It´s some of the most radical Muslim groups that are dangerous - the situation in Egypt is highly volatile right now. Let´s hope that not the military or the radical group (the brotherhood of Islam) will kidnap this revolution.

WHAT? You're calling George Dubya a liar?!?! ;)
Anyway, this isn't just an Islamic or Egyptian thing, this happened in the US and in Britain as well, but about one century ago and as occasional stories in the news even today will tell you here in the US, when women join - or attempt to join - previously all-male organizations, whether the fire departments, police or military, coal mining or what have you, they run into this same sort of intimidation 'gauntlet' they're forced to run by men with teeny brains and apparently even smaller balls.
