Call me biased, but I am going to advertise my girlfriend's blog because I think her writing is well thought out and perceptive. Her focus is on woman's right in Egypt and her daily experiences being a woman in Cairo.
With that a short comment on her hypothesis that:
"many women here dress in conservative Islamic clothing to lessen the harassment and that men are the source of the unofficial dress code"
I can see the rational behind the analysis of women dressing more conservatively to avoid harassment, but what about all the girls in Cairo who wear a hijab with skin tight turtleneck shirt and skinny jeans?
Anyways.
Take a look around Abi in the Middle East, it will be a refreshing new look after being bored to death on my blog.
