Regarding the Pregnant Spanish minister of defense

Apparently, much has been made of the pregnant Spanish Minister of Defense, Carme Chacón. Ranging from mockery to respect on the Internet, the question that arose: why doesn't Egypt have a female Minister of Defense? According to this Egyptian blogger, a female Minister of Defense is the least of Egypt's gender trouble. "Our society is conservative sexist society , we have to be honest with ourselves if we want to re-build this nation once again. The Nour Salafist Party that came the second place of the parliament refuses the idea of having women in the parliament. Do I need to speak about the judiciary battle !? And how are we fighting so women would be accepted as a judge !?"

Libya: we will not forget our brave ! .... will we ?

It seems that each country has become a pro at remembering its Martyrs and victims. Although this is all well and good, one Libyan blogger ponders if the female victims of war-induced rape will get the same honorary treatment. "This definition includes the fallen martyrs, the injured, the imprisoned and of course the missing. Great idea to celebrate and honour these people's sacrifices ! However, where do our raped women stand?"
