After the Revolution, Gender Friction in Egypt
A march in Cairo marking International Women’s Day apparently turned ugly on Tuesday. Several hundred women and supporters of women’s rights reported harassment from counterprotesters who taunted and, in some cases, physically intimidated them.
Twitter reports flooded in from women who attended the march in Tahrir Square, the epicenter of antigovernment protests last month. Many said they fled after feeling menaced and unsafe.
