(2,749 posts)It's disturbing that these women cannot safely, as safely as anyone possibly can, protest along with men in their own country without risking assault, sexual or otherwise. I'm not sure what will happen after today but I hope that women being targets for merely walking down the street anywhere in Egypt is something that will change, because it has always been a problem there.
