[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shanta Gdeeda: [QB] I was just me and I wasn't everywhere and I'm a foreigner so I am willing to accept that my experience is not necessarily the same as that of others present today. However, that is how I felt it to be. In the UK, we are used to people holding different opinions and expressing them. At any demonstration, you will ALWAYS get a counter demonstration from those opposed to your views and sometimes these end up in a ruckus. This is completely normal in a functioning democracy. This is something that maybe Egyptians will have to get used to and accept - and I say that without knowing the history of Egyptian demonstrations - it doesn't necessarily mean 'the end of life as we know it'. We also know that in all societies, there are a hard-core of unreconstructed males who have some bizarre view that all women like cooking and sewing (I don't) and all men are better at maths than all women (crap - I am a zillion times better at maths than almost any man on this planet). I even had an argument along these lines on the London metro one night. And everything these two men said I trumped. Eventually they were reduced to saying "men have bigger feet"... oh do they indeed I responded waving my size 10s (American size 12s) at them.... at which point they went into a sulk and shut up.
