Just as I feared & was actually ridiculed here on DU for saying it back when the protest were going on in Egypt...Real change will not come to the Egypt or the Middle East until women are recognized as equals! When I said this back during the protest I was swamped with people showing me pictures or links to videos that showed women protesting...But that did not mean a thing as you will see in this video.

I feel for the women of Egypt & I hope they can stay determined to get the equal rights they deserve!

1. They have a long way to come

I predict a lot more suffering on the way.

2. People here can be incredibly naive. You were right, of course n/t

3. It took Western women a long, long time to become free.

We still are not treated as the equals of men.

4. I totally agree...

And I am in the favored class "White Male"...The Republicans/Tea Baggers have that phrase they always say "Take Our Country Back"...Well, that really means "Take Our Country Back" to the 19th Century! Where among many other things very few women would be in the work place the rest back in the home doing what her husband says!

5. It has occurred to me that Egyptian women need to march with men who

support equal rights for women at their sides.
