To women facing discrimination in our communities: speak up, ladies. Look at how Egyptian women have started to deal with sexual harassment
@scroeser I'm not advocating for anyone to become a 'martyr for equal rights'. I'm only saying that silence benefits the oppressors

@asteris That's fine, but putting the responsibility on women to 'speak up' (as if that is safe to do) is pretty problematic. -
@scroeser it was a footnote in a series of tweets. But if you propose that anything can be solved w.o self-empowerment, I strongly disagree -
@asteris No, of course, I agree with your main point. I just think it's also important to recognise the costs of speaking up. -
@scroeser I did, and I do. I thought it was obvious by my phrasing. Lots of misunderstandings tonight -
