A side point, but not an unimportant one, is that if women have to do and say and dress a certain way in order to be safe --it isn't very complimentary towards men.

And quite frankly with the amount of domestic violence in this country alone, if you want a woman to truly be safe forget about Egypt, tell her not to go home.
Someone either wants protection from another or they do not, be it a protective detail or a spouse.

If you want protection from someone else, but aren't willing to take their advice as to your own actions, then it's the same thing as saying "let's you and him have a fight" to your protector(s).
Maybe the protectors are trying to communicate the limits of their capabilities when offering advice.

Choices have consequences, and those consequences aren't always just or fair.
Doesn't mean that the consequences can't be predicted.
