Ani at the 2006 NOW Conference

i dont understand the last line of her poem, can any explain please?

Wow, I do like her, but i'd be afraid to go there as a man cause i'd probably get stuff thrown at me by the angry mob

rocky: iN 2005 feminist org WFAFI WFAFI urged Condoleezza Rice to protect the rights of Iraqi women.
- Meryl streep, sara jones, marisa tomei spoke at the UN in support of CEDAW (look it up).
- In 1996 NOW wrote letters protesting a Seattle FGM case to Janet Reno protesting the procedure. NOW is working with women's rights activists in other countries to stop the genital mutilation of young girls who are powerless to resist.
- Mavis Leno is a long time anti taliban advocate.
continued:

Where are the Western feminists? Did you know that the female-hating Taliban is forcing some produce vendors to segregate the male and female vegetables in separate produce bins? That is how moronic many Muslim men are! The Taliban will not even allow women to visit a male (or female) doctor, because somehow the female form should be covered at all times. So men force women to wear that stupid burqa and are beaten if they fail to do so. Muslim men are insane, and feminists are MIA. Phonies!

what a contribution to the world (her child). i am relieved that another generation will live on through her.
