This article shook my memory back to the 3 weeks that I spent in Egypt, and what stands out the most is hour poorly men treat the women. Interestingly enough, it also a time of one of my fondest memories which was my friend Caroline backhanding a teenage boy who attempted to fondle her as we walked the streets of Luxor.
Lara Logan is tough, and has always put herself in the line of fire, but this attack is senseless, cowardly, and representative of a nation whose mens' attitude and antics should be closely scrutinized as Egypt has an opportunity to build a productive future.
