Manal and Alaa's bit bucket free speech from the bletches

Give her credit. Maybe it was a bit sexist of her to say "all men are pigs" (though you have to admit it is a topic worth some research) and maybe she is law ignorant, but I am sure she was willing to say something more about "law and culture" that you and her and me and every Egyptian is AWARE OF. See, a woman cannot simply report rape over here for a million number of reasons that are culturally biased on one hand and because of the inefficiency of the law on the other hand. Assume you are sitting in your house and a thug comes and sits in it claiming it is his and you seek the law route, maybe this thug would be having children going to the same university as your kid before you gain your "right" to sit in your own house. Got what I am trying to say? Maybe we have the same just laws as the US on this matter but we definetely dont have the same practices.
