Nov 20, 2011 [b]: Nudity comes to Arab Spring (NSFW)

"Put on trial the artists' models who posed nude for art schools until the early 70s, hide the art books and destroy the nude statues of antiquity, then undress and stand before a mirror and burn your bodies that you despise to forever rid yourselves of your sexual hangups before you direct your humiliation and chauvinism and dare to try to deny me my freedom of expression."

This is Egyptian Aliaa Magda El-Mahdy, and in posting herself naked on her blog, she is challenging freedom of expression in Egypt.

corrected, thank you

My pleasure. These posts may be deleted as far as I'm concerned.

Let them stay to indicate my incompetence.

They stay or go at your pleasure, but they indicate no incompetence.

Nudity can lead to only one thing:


Rock 'n Roll!

Seriously, though, this is awesome.

Guys should let chickas be in charge for the next millenium.
We certainly couldn't do any worse than you all have.

...And what is it with nudity and women and sex and the lizard brain?

Why is it so fearsome?

Women naked=Sex=Bad&NaughtyBoy=Death?

Is it still that old rag?

Or what?

i say good for them ,
let your freak flag fly PROUDLY !!!

Sex is really bad. It leads us to disease, death, unwanted pregnancy and all sorts of horrible outcomes. But in our lizard brains, it has kept our species going for 200,000 years... before civilization of any kind.

At some point we noticed that all this sex was really horrible, and that it was leading to pregnancy (we had to figure that out).

So when we applied civilization to it, we made up all sorts of nonsense rules; such as if a man finds a woman attractive he cannot just pull out his weenie. (He must instead text a picture of his weenie to her.)

Along the way it was attached to religion, because religion was how we passed along information, and how we socialized the youths not to be pulling out their weenies all the time.

Irreligious societies managed to create laws and customs that punished rape, without religion.
It was called, in precise anthropological terms the "I'll Set My Dad On You" response.

I like how in the other photo they are standing in front of a poster that says "Show You Are Not Afraid" Yet they are all hiding behind a big banner and covering their boobs.

Like we've never seen tits before. Show us; we're not afraid.

There is a lot less modesty, even in just the last couple of generations.

The girls that go to school with my older boys wear things I never would have even dreamed of wearing, even when I had the body to pull it off. I have to bite my tongue every time it happens and remind myself that my parents felt the same way about some of the clothes I used to go out in when I was a teenager and in my early 20s.

I don't know where it'll all end, but maybe we'll all just stop wearing clothes. *shrugs*

Yeah I know. It's why I try and remember that it doesn't matter what I think of the next generation. They'll do what they want and dress how they want and it's ok anyway.

The climate we live in here is very suited to wearing not much most of the time anyway, so it's really no wonder.

And besides - the next generation might just be wearing swim suits anyway.

haha...yeah. I hope there's no more whale harpooning by then or I'm done for!

I understand that the younger generation of women on the french beaches do not go topless and wish the middle aged topless women would put some clothes on.

What effect does this have on the situation in the middle east?

The fate of the nation is in the hand of angry young men and scared middle-aged men. The side with the most of these wins. recruiting strategy? Nekkid chix.

Viva Al Revolution!

in one sense or another - the recruiting strategy is always nekkid chicks.

I'm offended by those bright red slippers. Shameful! It's disgusting how she is flaunting those publicly like that. The only reason for them to be so red is to attract attention. Lustful attention.
