I am an Egyptian man and I am for 100% equal rights for women. Women should uncover their heads and live like men. Why do they have to be below us in any way? A woman can be the money maker in the family while the father stays with the kids. A woman should even be able to be president. Why do I have to wait another 50 years to see my sister live an equal life to mine? Thank goodness we live in a bubble.... I don't know how it would be otherwise. Ta7ya Masr w shokran le agda3 mar2a fe masr.
Sorry but what Saadawi is talking about is culture not religion. Female genital mutilation is not a religious creation (at least not in Islam), if it happens in certain countries it's the result of a combination of ignorance and culture. Political ideologies can be applied to any facet of life (not just religion). Furthermore a thing need not be inatley political for it to take on political qualities.
@LoonyInSpace its true what you say, but what she means is that people who practise circumcision abuse religion to justify things like circumcision. circumcision mostly happens in Islamic, jewish and a little apparently in christian (depending from the country) culture. I think if we want to make a change in this we have to make religion a part of it. make people realize god/allah made us just the way he wanted. let people think and see the truth, what is right and wrong and mutilation is wrong.
@maachilosa Um in the video they are not talking about male circumcision, she is talking about female circumcision which is not part of Jewish or Islamic tradition or beliefs. It is a purely an east african tradition and that is why it does not happen in the vast majority of the Middle East - it was spread to countries like Oman and Yemen because of their Afro-Arabian infusion.
@hbnm03 I didn't wrote about male circumcision, I don’t understand where you get this from. but it is a fact that religion is abused to justify these practices even if religion doesn't have anything to do with this. but anyway thanks for the information :-)
Nawal El Saadawi and Wafa Sultan, two outstanding women who made a stand against the misogynistic bullying of the religion created by 7th century men.
You give me inspiration, and you make me proud to be a woman. We should all fight for the true idiolgy; justice, dignity and love. Our cruel jungel world will needs more people to fight Nawals spoken words. This should be our religion.
Sadly Religion is the Tribal war manuals of 3 old stone-aged desert tribes wish to rule the world & make war on the non-believer. It's 2011 AD After Dogma we are all the same & all need the same things. Peace Live Long and Prosper.
Please DON'T let your babies get Sexually mutilated or Circumcision.
It's just Stupid and wrong this is 2011 AD After Dogma
imagine if they had learnt about how holy and sacred it is to protect and love your child ... even if you're poor and can't economically do it ... from poor nations there have arisen many a great nation, "CHINA" being one.
Religion is so simple , just be good and loving , and forget the evil that may have blackened the picture for you.
Remember that God created us the way we were meant to be , but we messed around with our shapes and looks just to satisfy our weak human instincts which also caused the birth of many fatherless children in the west just because they didn't know the sanctity of marriage for example ...
@karimspahi Well, your claim isn't based on any evidence whatsoever. Who are you to decide whether it's wrong to change our shapes and looks? Now, don't tell me it's because it's written in the Bible. Obviously, the premise of your argument is an assumption based on no evidence: God exists and he is the creator.
Your urge to talk t us and your honesty in this video , displays the greatest application of religion ... you want to "deliver" information about how circumcision and other WRONG religious practices have destroyed our emotions .. you're absolutely right , and that's what politicians want.
o we shouldn't really mix , because politicians also make sure that religion is not an important part of our education so that we too think in a Capitalist manor.
Religion is simply a combination of clean pure ethics which call for humanity and love and respect , also for celebrating our differences and seeing through them into our souls and loving each other.
@karimspahi "Religion is simply a combination of clean pure ethics" did you hear what this women was saying. The sickness that religion causes. People behaving in bizarre ways to satisfy strange Gods? Pure clean ethics? Are you completely mad? Dirty, screwed up, ethics, if you ask me.
Also simply because many rulers and politicians have been mentioned in the Quran and all Holy books , and it was mentioned that they would do that "use religions against the people instead of for them" .
@karimspahi "simply because all politicians along history have use it to keep people calm." Politicians use it for far more than just to keep people calm. They use it amass forces against opposition, to make people do things they, otherwise would not. If you twist a religion in the right way, you can make a religious person do anything you want. THAT is why it is so loved by so many bastards, that's why so many bastards love to have power in religious countries. it's easy to take the piss.
why is she militant for women why isn't she militant for her whole country , and btw those people still circumcise , and it's not the goverment who does it, it's families.
Female circumcision brings a lot of happiness to millions of people every year. IMHO it's wrong to criticize it, and in particular it's hypocritical when Ms El Saadawi has benefited from it herself.
@markmywords53 she has "benefitted" from it? She cannot feel sexual pleasure as she is meant to be by creation. Happiness it brings? it destroys healthy sexuality and sexual pleasure between legally married spouses. Sexuality between married couples is positive in Islam, above all.
This is destroyed with a few cuts - human basically elevates himself above God by cutting an organ God has created. Nose surgery is haram right? Cutting the clitoris is "happiness"? How foolish and blasphemic.
@TLCTugger look, I can see how men will start propagating circumcision for boys is wrong. The fact is when we talk about female circumcision we should use the correct word, female genital MUTILATION. In the case of boys a skin is cut, in the case of females an entire organ or several are cut. THe difference is as if you cut the fingernail too short so that it bleeds and hurts and can get infected, or that you cut the entire finger, or parts of the hand.
@dinavienna - I don't agree the fermale circumcision = FGM. FGM is horrid. Cutting the clitoral hood is the most common FGC practce and is exactly analogous to male circumcision.
94% of the world lives under laws forbidding female genital cutting with no religious exemption. Not even a pin-prick is allowed.
