Mobs shouted at Tunisian women demonstrators to go back to the kitchen “where they belong.” In Egypt, too, conservative forces are on the rise, demanding policies – particularly reforms of family legislation – that would represent a step backward for women.
在突尼斯，一场群众运动呼吁所有妇女都戴上面纱，这导致大学里不戴面纱的女宗教教授被赶出了校园。暴徒冲着突尼斯示威妇女大喊，要她们回到“身之所属”的厨房去。在埃及，保守势力也早抬头，他们的政策要求——特别是家庭法律方面的改革——不啻男女平等道路上的大倒退。
