[QUOTE]Originally posted by Monica: [QB] Dear Adoula, After all these years, and after the 'feminist' phase and the abuse of that term 'feminist' by other groups - with hidden agendas - faded somehow, where do Egyptian women stand presently, in your opinion? Are they still considered evil by the other gender? Is it an excuse for men to justify their unhappiness in the institution of marriage, where they don't 'really' feel comfortable anymore? I see that behind the mask of education, intelligence, progress, modernism in some cases, most Egyptian women still need to be more self confident, I still see a problem of low self esteem there. On the other side, I see that men are also suffering from a low self esteem and that tends to generate the super machoism, most of the time. An infusion of self confidence is certainly needed. That's for starters. Would you please add? Monica [QUOTE]Originally posted by Adoula: [b]Eve depended on Adam to bring home the meat, cut down trees for firewood. Adam was angry, spoiled (by Mama,) and terribly confused. And you can’t blame him. He can not wait for three hours waiting for Eve to serve dinner. She wants help with housework. He wants his dinner on time. U know what was the dinner, rice with apples from the forbidden tree. And msjen still blame Adam not Eve. Now what are we doing: The years passed. Thousands of them. But things didn’t change much. Men still cut down trees, built concrete buildings, invented electricity, aeroplanes, plastic, conquered their natural environment. They brought home the meat and potatoes and fed and clothed and protected generations of women. The women cooked and had babies. The years passed.Thousands of them. Men were the undisputed kings of castles, masters of homes. The strange thing is that women helped them maintain this position of power by in-fighting and competing over who could produce the most spoilt male. But all these thousands of years, unknown to men, a slow revolution was brewing among the women folk. They began to ask questions. In England they asked why they couldn’t attend Cambridge. In India they fought to be educated. In Africa they refused to be circumcised. In Arabia they created schools for girls. In America they demanded the vote. They began to gather in groups in public places, and fight openly for their rights. The men, seeing their power threatened, grew frightened. They kicked and fought to keep it. They called women who wanted simply to be respected as a human being or be given equal opportunities bad names, feminists, man haters, frustrated women. Or let me say they called them Evil women.
