Shocking reaction to blonde woman caught on video as crowds of men swarm around her at Cairo Univ

109. And they still can, and do so every day

This incident is an exception, as in, not the norm, which is why it is - according to the article itself - sparking outrage in egypt. Given that she was dressed in a fashion that you consider "enslavement" only serves to further udnermine your point.

And yes, western style dress was imposed by Nasser, as I explained to you. As in, lack of real freedom to choose otherwise. It's not a question of "evil," despite your ignorant hyperbole, but simply that he instituted a policy that targeted traditional Egyptian fashion for replacement with western standard dress. Call me crazy but I find government regulation of fashion to be an illiberal idea.

And you persist in ignoring the evidence you yourself presented, regarding the increasing female involvement in education and university in Egypt. I guess that's because it doesn't go well with your script, wherein fashion should be more important to women than their education. Specifically fashion that gives you lots of skin to look at, apparently

Congratulations on discovering a semantic argument. I really suggest though that if you want to discuss the subject, you look up the proper terms and their common use. "Veil," spoken as such, refers to the niqab and its variations. Hijab is a scarf worn over the hair and around hte neck that does not cover the face.

Funny thing is how many Western women were wearing headscarves in the period of hte 50's and 60's
