182. Are people actually stoned here for baring their breasts?

Fri Mar 29, 2013, 11:55 PM

Mar 2013

Their faces? Being raped, beaten as policy, mutilations, married off as child brides, honor killings, having to walk miles and miles each day just for water for the family and beaten if enough doesn't make it home? These women also lose loved ones - to wars, abysmal health services, extreme poverty, food shortage, etc., etc. We DO know this, and nothing we complain about here even nears their struggles, so when we hear of one or two who haven't been murdered yet for doing what Amina is, it's only natural to feel admiration and concern, maybe push our own troubles to the back burner for an hour or two and feel a bit of outrage against those who minimize these brave acts as something as shallow as 'pornification for the menz' and how 'they're harming the cause'. Is it so wrong to see the differences?
