via the arabist, these photos from tunisia are really great. but as i looked at them, one thing really stood out: the lack of women in the crowd scenes.
a lot of the news article i have read about the tunisian revolution have noted how progressive and western tunisia is on women's rights. i'm not sure how representative those photos are, but i would be hard pressed to find a street scene of a mob in the u.s. or europe with such a lopsided male-female ratio.
