The officer's remarks were what initially sparked off this wave of protest. As I've said 3 or 4 times now, this is the straw that broke the camel's back. This is a metaphor which is used to indicate that the event is not causal but the attributive event which inspires counter-action. To put that in another context: Khaled Sayeed wasn't the first person to be brutalised by the Egyptian police; neither was he the root of the disquiet which led to the revolution. He was (drumlol) the straw that broke the camel's back (this is a simplification of matters, but I'm sure you can do your own reading on the Egyptian situation).
The officer's remarks are merely indicative of a wider problem.
I am part of a feminist reading group, yes - but I don't think that means much more than I occasionally have a natter over tea and cakes with some people about some books we've read (it is frightfully genteel, sadly).
