None of the revolutions that began when a man set himself on fire in Tunisia in December 2010 have been about gender equality. But if a man began the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, it will be women who will complete them. feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye… #Jan25 #Egypt

A revolution is not a season or a colour. It is the feet on the ground of astonishingly courageous people who dared to demand the fall of a regime that had robbed them of so much, including the right to imagine. #Jan25 #Egypt
When I say the revolution must be feminist or it is not my revolution, I am often told “This isn’t the time,” as if women are a special interest issue that is a distraction to the revolutionary struggle and not half of humanity. We are low on the list determined by men. #Jan25
It is true that our dictators oppress everyone, men and women. But while the State oppresses men and women, the State, the Street and the Home together oppress women, creating a Trifecta of Misogyny. #Jan25 #Egypt
A feminist revolution disobeys all those who insist “People are not ready,” because as revolutionaries we must recognize that if our communities are ready for us, we are too late. feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye… #Jan25 #Egypt
The vanguard now are women and queer people who have been using social media to say “I count” (Link to Arabic translation in article) feministgiant.com/p/egypts-sexua… #Jan25 #Egypt
