I covered a lot of protests back when I was a daily newspaper photographer. I believed then, as I do now, that women protest because they have deeply held convictions, and they believe in trying to change the world. Most protesting men, on the other hand, do so because they want to be with those women. Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think?
