If they are married, they probably don't have a husband who helps out much around the house, they have kids who have to get to school, housework that is complicated by constant dust, and very possibly a job on top of that. And they generally have to do all that on way too little money.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-62180926219510691812013-02-12T05:39:49.601+02:002013-02-12T05:39:49.601+02:00What is daily life like for women in Egypt?What is daily life like for women in Egypt?Caitlin Hansonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-45316076817928337812013-01-27T08:07:38.671+02:002013-01-27T08:07:38.671+02:00Absolutely the most wonderful story to come out of...Absolutely the most wonderful story to come out of Egypt ! It's so refreshing to see Egyptian Women standing up for their rights and putting these pathetic male chauvinist pigs in their place! How the Muslim Brotherhood is even allowed to partake in Egyptian Politics, let alone be the dominant force is beyond me. The women of Egypt need to ban together and give every member of the Muslim Brotherhood an EXIT VISA (with no return).

Ideologically they are different, but these differences aren't readily visible on a behavioural level all the time and there are differences even within groups, I would readily acknowledge. This isn't a scientific paper but a story.

Absolutely wonderful. I haven't been to Egypt but have spent some time in Morocco and East Africa and the women there always seemed the antithesis of the repressed Muslim woman idea...in fact my mother used to work as a Muslim chaplain in a women's prison in the UK and knew of a Somali woman who'd been locked up for biting off a man's testicle in a fight. You have to hand it to them...thanks for such a fabulous blog post!
