BBC NEWS Programmes From Our Own Correspondent Female frustrations of Iran reporting
That night was one of countless cartoon protests in Tehran that have damaged the embassies of five European countries.

But it was one of the more surreal.

The crowd threw stones and the odd petrol bomb and then managed to wrest the name plaque off the wall of the embassy.

A female photographer I knew suddenly rushed out of the focus of activity, shouting. It turned out one of the bearded Islamic vigilantes had pinched her bum.

There is no doubt being female sometimes gives you a different perspective on a story.
