Egyptian female bloggers use the internet as a forum to voice their frustrations with both politics and men. Not just their boyfriends … the patriarchy more broadly. As well as their boyfriends. This way, they can discuss taboo subjects without running afoul of government censors or offending anyone’s sensibilities.
At least Islamists and the government can agree that they think women need limits.
Joking aside, I think it’s curious how censorship in the Middle East is conflated into one larger communication problem: conservatives won’t let important issues about women’s lives be discussed, and the governments won’t let politics be discussed.
