    Default Humbling courage

    Of course we are talking about Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, the naked Egyptian girl



    Interview with my new heroin http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/19/wo...hdy/index.html

    Gutmensch knows for a fact that it's simply isn't true because they know for a fact that all cultures are equal;

    "Women under Islam will always be objects to use at home. The (sexism) against women in Egypt is unreal, but I am not going anywhere and will battle it 'til the end. Many women wear the veil just to escape the harassment and be able to walk the streets. I hate how society labels gays and lesbians as abnormal people."

    Egyptian gays want to protest as well, 'you will not take this from us' is what they say. Is this important, hellyes

    Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and the Egyptian gays, good luck to ya mia muca's

    While I applaud the sentiment, and fully support it, the use of nudity by feminists has an ugly history of backfiring. The most important thing, though, is her point that women in countries like Egypt conform for fear of harassment, not out of choice.

    I think it's really appropiate here, covering up vs full nudity. She couldn't have made a stronger statement.

    True, but I want to see the picture not because I want to appreciate her artistic and political point, but because I want to see a pretty girl in the nude.

    Which is why I haven't looked it up.

    Sexuality is in the intention, she just looks very vulnerable. Probably won't affect you that way
