You really don't know what you are talking about. The General who ruled BEFORE Nasser and AFTER King Farouk was the start of the "army's rule" in Egypt. This is not a new thing, and it was VERY GOOD for women (don't believe me, do some reading, you'll see).
During that half century and more, women's roles in Egypt advanced by leaps and bounds. It was only when Morsi came in that women's rights began to be abrogated, their employment opportunities were limited, and they began to be harassed and sexually abused on the streets. It was Morsi's crew that wanted to bring back child bride marriage to perverted old men, to bring back polygamy, etc. If you don't understand that, you need to learn. If you do understand that and still support Morsi, you have a serious and unfortunate problem understanding an essential injustice -- one that borders on slavery -- towards half the population of this earth. Any government that allows or cheerleads that is FAR worse than a "dictatorship" and that's what Morsi enthusiastically endorsed.
