Wil's Rant

There are some encouraging signs that things are starting to change in Egypt. I suspect that if women ever manage to gain equal rights in the Middle East, the world is going to be a safer place for everyone. Equal status for women has long been established here so it's hard to imagine it being any other way. Unfortunately, women in politics here have pretty much followed the examples provided by their male counterparts and as such have not added any fresh insights into the political landscape. There's always hope that this will change.
