The veil is part of their culture. Whatever your opinion of it you need to accept that a democratic Yemen will not resemble Western democracy. Yemen has its own history, its own culture, its own values and therefore it has its own identity. The only reason America, and other Western countries, are afraid of the veil is because they connect it to oppression, dictatorship, terrorism. Take all that away and Yemen is still a Muslim nation.

@DBTdad - - - You forgot to mention the meth, crack and heroin epidemic in the US of A. Also you forgot to mention that the US is supporting the dictatorship in Yemen.
BUt Yemen still allows girls of 9 to be married to 40 year old men and consumate the marriage. Show us all the cartoons, art and first aid courses you like...doesn't change to rot. You may put fresh paint on the door, but there's still a smell in the cellar.
I live in Belgium, a lot of Muslims come here from the Middle East to live. When I go to the laundromat, sometimes I see a Muslim couple come in: the wife carries in the laundry and does all the work while the guy just stands there doing nothing.
Soon, we will start dropping bombs wholesale on your country and you will be free to wear short, tight red dresses when you do interviews. Men will want you and women will want to be you. You will have money and power. You can take a different man every night! You will be free!!!
The audience response @5:19 is disgusting. Flat out nauseating. So is the smug way she speaks about firing so many employees.
So is feminism in general, really.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again here. If a man acted in this fashion, he would be publicly castigated for it. When a woman does it, she receives applause.
Well. I am calling for men all over the world to start booing these comments, screaming "misandrist!" at the top of your lungs, whenever you hear them.
Everyone who's making fun of her for the way she's dressed: She's a speaker at TED, you're not. Clearly covering her hair has not been a barrier to a successful career. The scarf hasn't interfered with her brain, though it seems to have interfered with yours.
@MrsShirotora Although it might be true it hasn't interfered with her brain, it is still a clear symbol of the oppression of women in islamic societies. There is no excuse for the head-scarf.
@jASTDK And I feel oppressed by bras. I'm expected to wear it everywhere except my house, even on the beach! Men can go topless on the beach. This is clearly a symbol of the oppression of women in western societies. People, it's just clothing. Cloth does not oppression make if the mind can be free. Educate women, and let us dress how we chose, even if means we want to be covered up. Force by threat and force by social expectation are different propositions.
@MrsShirotora I don't disagree... I would love to see more topless women on the beach... But you see - eventhough I understand your comment is ironic, there is a difference between "not being allowed to show your face and features" via a head-scarf, and choosing not to show your tits because it's not for everybody to see... There is a difference between choice and oppression. On the beach in europe you will not be arrested and mistreated for not wearing a bra.. not the same in the middle-east
@jASTDK But her face is visible. Surely you are not ignorant that there are laws against women being topless in public in America. We wear shirts because on the one hand, it's not for everyone to see, and on the other, we are legally forced. Social expectation is "force" just as law is. Ask people who dress that way how they feel about it before projecting the values of our culture onto them. Some will feel oppressed, maybe violently so, but I would bet most do not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wha t the fuck !!!! did she just said she is not a traditonal yemen girl??????????? WTF and she wears a burka?????? actually yemen women are stupid!!!
Men are not "people" to her. This is the result of constantly being told women are inferior. She has ingested the oppressor and when she got power, she acted on her sexism, not striving for a "good" newspaper, but one with more women, which has nothing to do with "good" any more than more men make a better paper.
This was a good Ted talk I mean I get what some people are saying about how if they want to move forward they need to lay back on strictness of Islam, but thats not what made me so happy with this ted talk it was how she was so authoritative and kind you could tell she truly meant what she was saying
Every one of these 'modern' speakers are the same.. try to have it both ways. She's really trying to say that islam has all of these stupid rules and represses women etc etc, and we don't want to abide by it, but we still want islam. WTF? Be honest and admit what it is - a backwards ideology and very outdated set of living rules.
Its outrageous that women get killed in muslim countries only because they want to get educated. Ive heard about girls being stoned because they attend library courses. It is inhumane and needs to stop.
@florencelovme I dont like muslims, But it is the stupidest thing Ive heard, its not like that even in taliban, 70 percent of iran students are girls for example, WTF?
Bet TED is associated with Tavistock, all this PC crap is intended for the silent majority and next time the bombs fall they will yawn again and think "It might be best for them, so they will join our wonderful - corrupt - concept of democracy and - professional - indoctrination". YaddaYadda, pray to Allah that people grasp what is going on before it's too late.
What is this video about? On the surface it's womens right in the Yemen, but it's unsettling to not hear who the aggressor is, there's a sub text here that sounds like western propaganda. The timing is not right for her not to mention the Al-CIA-da WAR.
im very happy for her but those countries are just fucked up all of those muslim /arab countries are one of the last that havent gave up on dectatorship and hardcore religion views wich is a deadly combination to the whole world i think that religion should be banned from being a leading concept in a countries' way to judge or what ever thats the only way to go on to the future without killing the rest of the world and thats also when they will stop getting asked about terrorists...
What the heck is all the complaining about? This was an interesting talk and a positive one for women in Yemen. So she's wearing a headscarf. And? She's clearly an outspoken, proud, woman and her publication reaches people all over Yemen--that's a good thing and given the oppression of women in Islam, it's an amazing thing. Islam must modernize, but it isn't going to happen overnight. Why belittle this woman for her efforts?
@PlasteredDragon islam cannot modernize. islam anchors itself in the 6th century ad by espousing the views of a book that claims to be literally inerrent and the verbatim word of an omniscient deity.
islam can only be reformed if there is a deletion of the sunnah and muslims admit the qur'an is flawed and error-ridden.
@volound Similar things could have been said of Christianity during the Spanish Inquisition or the Crusades or the trial of Galileo, or, or, or... Of course Islam will modernize. All religions that have survived history have done so by changing as needed. Islam will change to survive, but it will take a very long time for that to happen. People like this woman are key to that change. That change can't happen quickly enough of course, so the resulting frustration is understandable.
@PlasteredDragon no it simply can not as the bible does not self-proclaim its own inerrency. all we have with the bible (allegedly) are translations of translations of copies of translations from anonymous authors who were divinely "inspired", centuries apart and arbitrarily compiled.
the qur'an could not (allegedly) be any more different. no similar things could be said of christianity at any time.
@volound I respect your opinion, and in good humor let me say that I'll see your pessimism and raise you hope. Muslims are already trying to change their religion. Regardless of whatever dogmas Islam holds dear, it will change or it will perish. Why do you think many latter day Muslims are so eager to point out where verses in the Qur'an can be vaguely interpreted as being in agreement with modern science? It's because they recognize the value of modern science. That's modernization in action.
you are moving all over the place. first of all, do you concede that you were wrong to say islam is similar to christianity?
secondly, "latter day muslims" ..... ??????
thirdly, science takes backseat to the qur'an. the qur'an takes precedence over science. the muslim equivalent to a "garden of even christian fundamentalist" is a mainstream, orthodox muslim.
its not pessimism. its realism, evidence-based and grounded statement of the facts.
@volound fair warning--if you are going to talk down to me this conversation is over. 1. I've made no concessions, Xtians who claim their bible is inerrant are a dime a dozen regardless of the actual history of the bible. 2. By "latter day" I mean "present day". 3. YouTube is peppered with videos where Muslims claim modern science is in agreement with the Qur'an. If they didn't care about modern science they wouldn't bother. 4. "People can't change because their religion says X" = pessimism.
@volound if Muslims couldn't perceive the obvious benefits of modern science, they wouldn't bother trying to show how the Qur'an agrees with modern science. That's a group of people trying to prop up their religion as it becomes less relevant. Your assertion that it can't change because it claims inerrancy flies in the face of a human history replete with dead beliefs. Dogmas change or they die. The heart of your position appears to be people can't change and that is demonstrably untrue.
@PlasteredDragon "if Muslims couldn't perceive the obvious benefits of modern science, they wouldn't bother trying to show how the Qur'an agrees with modern science."
youre going in circles to avoid addressing my actual arguments and rebuttals.
muslims believe that the most scientifically accurate book on earth is the QUR'AN. its the most accurate because it allegedly contains NO errors. if scientists say evolution is true and they think the qur'an disagrees, they THROW OUT the actual science.
@PlasteredDragon "Your assertion that it can't change because it claims inerrancy flies in the face of a human history replete with dead beliefs."
no it doesnt. this is not difficult to understand. you cant be this stupid, so i must assume youre just being disingenuous.
no other religion is based on scripture that self-proclaims its own inerrency. and even if they were, and they died, that still wouldnt contradict my argument as thats exactly what i EXPECT to happen to islam.
@volound I'm neither stupid nor disingenuous, this is a false dichotomy, there are several other possibilities, such as for example, I'm mistaken, or as another example: you're mistaken. There are a number of theological arguments for Biblical inerrancy based on the text of the bible itself. Take 10 seconds on Google to find one. Similar arguments exist for other religions. When the time comes, those verses will be reinterpreted and the meaning will change or the religions will die.
@PlasteredDragon "The heart of your position appears to be people can't change and that is demonstrably untrue."
oh for fucks sake.
no argument ive made even remotely resembles that tripe. i honestly dont know from which orifice this shit could possibly ever be pulled. i know at least TEN ex-muslims IRL. then theres all the ex-muslims i know on youtube as well. youre spouting tripe.
@volound I know ex-Muslims too, that was kind of my point, you might have seen that if you could put aside all this animosity that you seem unable to separate from a friendly disagreement. Your argument that Islam cannot change because it claims to be inerrant ignores the all-to-human penchant for rationalization. When Islam begins to die, it will change. Inerrancy will go out the window, rapidly. People will say "oh it never really said that, that was just a misinterpretation." Etc.
@PlasteredDragon you are conflating the immutable (demonstrably) fundamental beliefs of a religion with the mutable beliefs of its ex-adherents. how can you not see the problem with that? do you understand the difference between "religion" and "people"?
"all this animosity" was justified. hopefully you realize that now.
@volound the written scriptures of religions are often reinterpreted by their adherents in order to keep their religions alive and relevant. There's nothing ridiculous about that assertion as it is demonstrably true for all religions including Islam, as I have already pointed out. Your animosity was certainly not justified. All I did was hold a position you don't and you start trotting off words like "disingenuous" and "stupid". Since you have chosen to act like an asshole, we're done here.
@volound science is silent on many matters, don't put words into its mouth. Since is silent on the matter of what exists beyond this universe. So many people take it easy and say there is nothing. That does not mean that this is supported by science.
@MatrixOfDynamism science is silent on pseudo-science and non-science and anti-science. i.e. god, sky-daddys, imaginary friends, genies. the proposition of god is equally vindicated by science, as the proposition of the flying spaghetti monster, or the fairies in my anus.
@volound you are mixing different things here that all have only 1 thing in common. They are/can not been seen. The reason for their being/not being is completely independant of each other. Why God should or should not be there has absolutely nothing to do with fairies or the existance of a flying spagheti monster. If you are not one of those dogmatic blind followers of your belief than I invite you to watch any video of Hamza Andreas Tzortizis on Athiesm.
@MatrixOfDynamism "Why God should or should not be there has absolutely nothing to do with fairies or the existance of a flying spagheti monster."
i completely agree but at no point did i ever insinuate anything remotely like that. is this a red herring? why can you not answer my question? do you disagree or not?
and ive already watched a shit ton of hamzas videos.
did you see him getting tore to shreds by aronra, dprjones, almightyatheismo on the magic sandwich show? of course you didnt.
@PlasteredDragon Christianity did not modernize, at all. It was dragged kicking & screaming into the modern ages by secular forces, who demanded uncompromisingly that it changed its ways. Suffice to say that this feat was not accomplished by showing any "sensitivity" for Christian feelings. To put it mildly.
Likewise, our solidarity in this matter should go to secular Arabs and ex-Muslims who seek a better future for the Arab world. The headscarf remains a symbol of unequality and oppression.
@GluttonForSex I find your perspective overly simplified. Further I don't think I'm talking about "showing sensitivity" for anything. I believe what I said was that this woman is doing a good thing that will help modernize her culture and I don't see any reason to belittle her. Perhaps you would prefer that she burn her headscarf, renounce Islam, and become an apostate. Personally I think a positive step should be lauded instead of belittled. How else do you encourage a second step? Or a 3rd?
@PlasteredDragon Quite ironic. Your view consistently fails to take into account the experience secularism has with the religious mindset. This was painfully illustrated when you proclaimed Christianity to have "modernized" when when attempts are repeatedly being made to introduce Intelligent Design into the classroom.
I very much doubt that vocal support for secular Arabs, rather than modern Muslims, will ever lead to these types of black & white situations you are painting.
@GluttonForSex I'm very cognizant of the push back against secularism from Christianity. I am, after all, a secular humanist. But you are comparing "trying to get intelligent design into the classroom" with the Spanish Inquisition. Christianity has a long way to go, but it's laughable to insinuate that it has not modernized. Islam has an even longer way to go--but it will get there too. What's clear is that nobody is going to make it happen overnight, and it will happen from within.
@Kryptsanies the suppression of religion is not going to win converts, merely revolt. If you want people to abandon religion, you must offer them something *they* think is better. I think ultimately science will achieve what religionists currently look to their religions for, and when that happens religions will die naturally.
@PlasteredDragon That seems rather dramatized. The problem involved is that organized religion -and the Abrahamic religions in particular- have theocracy as a long-term objective. Hence the importance of keeping these religions out of the public sphere and confined to private life. Symbols as the headscarf aim to move in the opposite direction, and this is no coincidence.
Change will indeed happen from within. But it are secular Arabs who spearhead this movement, and not moderate Muslims.
@595o No I mean like the Catholic church stopped burning people alive as witches, torturing people en masse in the inquisition, sending children off to war for crusades. Need I go on? The point was not that Christianity is wonderful and utterly modern in every respect--I never said that. The point is that Christianity became more modern and continues to change. Anyway, thanks for calling me an optimist, there are far worse things to be.
@PlasteredDragon Was it really the church itself or was it the surroundings that changed? When the Catholic church stopped being the only cohesive element in Europe and rulers would stop always abiding by it then it certainly couldn't start things like the crusades.
I believe it's the changed political circumstances that explain why Martin Luther was not burned like the Jan Hus 100 years earlier, former was support from political forces that stopped giving a damn about the holy see.
Learning their "rights"? Well I guess if they are educated on how they will be systematically oppressed and controlled by law (religious and, the bearably discernible national) then that will save law enforcement and their owners, I mean husbands, time.
It is kind of sad if you think that it is 2011.. And that prejudice exists to such an extent. In fact, it is pitiful in the first place to presume the fact that people need lots of time in order to come to the realization that certain practices are illogical. On another note, I am still considering the possible reasons that individuals would dislike this video. Maybe they thought it could have been done better? Sad to say, there is a gut feeling that isn't the case. Good Speech.
She mentioned somewhere that Yemen will not undergo civil war, but what's actually happening is that some regions in Yemen are singing secession.
@WoundedEgo much of applied ideological diversity exist in Yemen (actually more than all other Gulf countries), including secularists, socialists, and Islamists of different views (Shia, Sunni, Sufism). The current regime is of secular directions, but is soaked in corruption. So, I believe, what will determine Yemen's future is who rules next.
@310sucks I thumbs you up but we have a law in California that ensures the rights for women to wear pants. That's right, this country not too long ago did look kindly upon women who wore pants. Fucking crazy right? How sad is it that we need a law on the books to protect this right.
Women didn't gain the right to vote in many places like Switzerland until 1971! The entire planet oppresses women not just Islam.
But yeah, their custom is a real slap in the face to men. People are ridiculous.
@iv1764 because religion is that thing that makes people kill each and do bullshit "for the sake of god" that doesnt fucking exist 100% sure that there is no god the way he is described in any religion book
For some of us, myself included, Islam is so rigid and intractable that any hope that real free thinking can occur without an utter repudiation of its claims seems naive. I mean, are you of the opinion that your lifestyle of free thought, assertiveness etc, is compatible with the backward, misogynist rantings of Islam? The reason that most of us are not optimistic about Yemen is not because we see a snapshot of Yemen that we don't like, but because Islam has such a death grip on people.

@MrsShirotora I don't disagree... I would love to see more topless women on the beach... But you see - eventhough I understand your comment is ironic, there is a difference between "not being allowed to show your face and features" via a head-scarf, and choosing not to show your tits because it's not for everybody to see... There is a difference between choice and oppression. On the beach in europe you will not be arrested and mistreated for not wearing a bra.. not the same in the middle-east
jASTDK 7 months ago
@jASTDK But her face is visible. Surely you are not ignorant that there are laws against women being topless in public in America. We wear shirts because on the one hand, it's not for everyone to see, and on the other, we are legally forced. Social expectation is "force" just as law is. Ask people who dress that way how they feel about it before projecting the values of our culture onto them. Some will feel oppressed, maybe violently so, but I would bet most do not.

What the heck is all the complaining about? This was an interesting talk and a positive one for women in Yemen. So she's wearing a headscarf. And? She's clearly an outspoken, proud, woman and her publication reaches people all over Yemen--that's a good thing and given the oppression of women in Islam, it's an amazing thing. Islam must modernize, but it isn't going to happen overnight. Why belittle this woman for her efforts?
PlasteredDragon 7 months ago 4
@PlasteredDragon islam cannot modernize. islam anchors itself in the 6th century ad by espousing the views of a book that claims to be literally inerrent and the verbatim word of an omniscient deity.
islam can only be reformed if there is a deletion of the sunnah and muslims admit the qur'an is flawed and error-ridden.
volound 7 months ago
@volound Similar things could have been said of Christianity during the Spanish Inquisition or the Crusades or the trial of Galileo, or, or, or... Of course Islam will modernize. All religions that have survived history have done so by changing as needed. Islam will change to survive, but it will take a very long time for that to happen. People like this woman are key to that change. That change can't happen quickly enough of course, so the resulting frustration is understandable.
PlasteredDragon 7 months ago
@PlasteredDragon no it simply can not as the bible does not self-proclaim its own inerrency. all we have with the bible (allegedly) are translations of translations of copies of translations from anonymous authors who were divinely "inspired", centuries apart and arbitrarily compiled.
the qur'an could not (allegedly) be any more different. no similar things could be said of christianity at any time.
volound 7 months ago
@volound I respect your opinion, and in good humor let me say that I'll see your pessimism and raise you hope. Muslims are already trying to change their religion. Regardless of whatever dogmas Islam holds dear, it will change or it will perish. Why do you think many latter day Muslims are so eager to point out where verses in the Qur'an can be vaguely interpreted as being in agreement with modern science? It's because they recognize the value of modern science. That's modernization in action.
PlasteredDragon 7 months ago
@PlasteredDragon *headdesk*
you are moving all over the place. first of all, do you concede that you were wrong to say islam is similar to christianity?
secondly, "latter day muslims" ..... ??????
thirdly, science takes backseat to the qur'an. the qur'an takes precedence over science. the muslim equivalent to a "garden of even christian fundamentalist" is a mainstream, orthodox muslim.
its not pessimism. its realism, evidence-based and grounded statement of the facts.
no "opinion" involved.

@volound fair warning--if you are going to talk down to me this conversation is over. 1. I've made no concessions, Xtians who claim their bible is inerrant are a dime a dozen regardless of the actual history of the bible. 2. By "latter day" I mean "present day". 3.

@volound if Muslims couldn't perceive the obvious benefits of modern science, they wouldn't bother trying to show how the Qur'an agrees with modern science. That's a group of people trying to prop up their religion as it becomes less relevant. Your assertion that it can't change because it claims inerrancy flies in the face of a human history replete with dead beliefs. Dogmas change or they die. The heart of your position appears to be people can't change and that is demonstrably untrue.

youre going in circles to avoid addressing my actual arguments and rebuttals.
muslims believe that the most scientifically accurate book on earth is the QUR'AN. its the most accurate because it allegedly contains NO errors. if scientists say evolution is true and they think the qur'an disagrees, they THROW OUT the actual science.

no other religion is based on scripture that self-proclaims its own inerrency. and even if they were, and they died, that still wouldnt contradict my argument as thats exactly what i EXPECT to happen to islam.
volound 7 months ago
@volound I'm neither stupid nor disingenuous, this is a false dichotomy, there are several other possibilities, such as for example, I'm mistaken, or as another example: you're mistaken. There are a number of theological arguments for Biblical inerrancy based on the text of the bible itself. Take 10 seconds on Google to find one. Similar arguments exist for other religions. When the time comes, those verses will be reinterpreted and the meaning will change or the religions will die.

@volound I know ex-Muslims too, that was kind of my point, you might have seen that if you could put aside all this animosity that you seem unable to separate from a friendly disagreement. Your argument that Islam cannot change because it claims to be inerrant ignores the all-to-human penchant for rationalization. When Islam begins to die, it will change. Inerrancy will go out the window, rapidly. People will say "oh it never really said that, that was just a misinterpretation." Etc.

@volound the written scriptures of religions are often reinterpreted by their adherents in order to keep their religions alive and relevant.

@PlasteredDragon Christianity did not modernize, at all. It was dragged kicking & screaming into the modern ages by secular forces, who demanded uncompromisingly that it changed its ways. Suffice to say that this feat was not accomplished by showing any "sensitivity" for Christian feelings. To put it mildly.
Likewise, our solidarity in this matter should go to secular Arabs and ex-Muslims who seek a better future for the Arab world. The headscarf remains a symbol of unequality and oppression.

Perhaps you would prefer that she burn her headscarf, renounce Islam, and become an apostate. Personally I think a positive step should be lauded instead of belittled. How else do you encourage a second step? Or a 3rd?
PlasteredDragon 7 months ago
@PlasteredDragon Quite ironic. Your view consistently fails to take into account the experience secularism has with the religious mindset. This was painfully illustrated when you proclaimed Christianity to have "modernized" when when attempts are repeatedly being made to introduce Intelligent Design into the classroom.
I very much doubt that vocal support for secular Arabs, rather than modern Muslims, will ever lead to these types of black & white situations you are painting.

@GluttonForSex I'm very cognizant of the push back against secularism from Christianity. I am, after all, a secular humanist. But you are comparing "trying to get intelligent design into the classroom" with the Spanish Inquisition. Christianity has a long way to go, but it's laughable to insinuate that it has not modernized. Islam has an even longer way to go--but it will get there too. What's clear is that nobody is going to make it happen overnight, and it will happen from within.

@Kryptsanies the suppression of religion is not going to win converts, merely revolt. If you want people to abandon religion, you must offer them something *they* think is better.

PlasteredDragon 7 months ago
@PlasteredDragon That seems rather dramatized. The problem involved is that organized religion -and the Abrahamic religions in particular- have theocracy as a long-term objective. Hence the importance of keeping these religions out of the public sphere and confined to private life. Symbols as the headscarf aim to move in the opposite direction, and this is no coincidence.
Change will indeed happen from within. But it are secular Arabs who spearhead this movement, and not moderate Muslims.

@PlasteredDragon Was it really the church itself or was it the surroundings that changed? When the Catholic church stopped being the only cohesive element in Europe and rulers would stop always abiding by it then it certainly couldn't start things like the crusades.

For some of us, myself included, Islam is so rigid and intractable that any hope that real free thinking can occur without an utter repudiation of its claims seems naive. I mean, are you of the opinion that your lifestyle of free thought, assertiveness etc, is compatible with the backward, misogynist rantings of Islam? The reason that most of us are not optimistic about Yemen is not because we see a snapshot of Yemen that we don't like, but because Islam has such a death grip on people.

@GetMeThere Why agonize about it? It's not a veil. Would you be so concerned if she were a Catholic nun? Or just liked wearing head scarves?
