On that point, I basically agree with her.

Randall was right on when talking about the representation of the Egyptian men protestors.
You have to read this:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/02/1...x.html?hpt=T2#
"If you are a woman living in Cairo, chances are you have been sexually harassed. It happens on the streets, on crowded buses, in the workplace, in schools, and even in a doctor's office.
According to a 2008 survey of 1,010 women conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women's rights, 98 percent of foreign women and 83 percent of Egyptian women have been sexually harassed."
98% of foreign women and 83% of Egyptian women seem like its a huge cultural problem to me.
But hey, Riot will just call me a bigot because I feel like Muslim men... particularly in the Middle East.. treat women like absolute dog crap.
