That would explain his politics; my father always said Sha'rawi's politics stank. And he was right. Sadat. I would have traded him for a scholar who didn't know how to cook but showed some integrity.

A reporter found it hard to believe that he cooked for the whole family when he told him that this was the case, and only believed it when his grand-daughter testified that it was the case.

Wouldn't you be entitled to anger? Isn't a wife whose husband fails to maintain her entitled to anger? What about a wife whose husband beats and abuses her? Or is it only men who are petty, only men who have no rights? A man is the head of his household. His word, within reason, is law. To be a good husband is to be an enlightened despot.
