This photo of the Class of 1978 at Cairo University is worth thousands of words:
Particularly when you compare it to more recent photos, as Phyllis Chesler does.

Particularly striking is that the proportion of women students appears to steadily increase in each photo in Chesler's article. There's hardly a man to be seen in the most recent class.
Compare that to the top universities in the US, like Cornell, where less than half the students are female.
Consider also the extreme change in Western fashion since the 70's–it's not just "them" that have changed.
I'm concerned with why Americans aren't equally troubled by pictures of women and men in their underwear all over American billboards, television, and print.
