Why Do They Hate Us? An Article by Mona Eltahawy

In the latter stages of these years, in addition to the sexual pleasure of the bed, women are regarded as evils, demons, and even men who are distracted by something in their daily lives. They are countless numbers and their voices are regarded as temptation (which causes some bad things). Today, most countries have overcome this idea and seem to put women in equal position with men. Unfortunately, in almost any country in the Middle East men in the 21st century do not seem to have the spirit of men of the 7th century.

Recently I was listening to the podcast at the New York Public Library, but the famous Egyptian writers Mona Ettahawi and Yasmina Rasidi talked about the political history of Egypt today and the eternal development of a woman looking at the future of his country did. Endless battle. If they are talking about it, the women's rights will quietly whisper. One of the most striking and obvious examples is that few people know that the proportion of female genital mutilation in Egypt is 91%.

And we are Mona Elterhoi and Ali Abnima. Mona Eltahawy, we had no chance to talk to you before break, I think there is important thing you should say. As this discussion is enthusiastic, you have written an article titled Mountain Hamster Mountain in the Danish comic. What do you mean? I think Muslims are overly reacting to this problem. I believe that this problem has been used by religious and political leaders, but it is still not a matter of upgrading to the world stage, it is a domestic or national problem that Muslims in Denmark and its government, and newspapers and societies work on You should.

There are two general ways to think about the problem of misogyny in the Arab world. The first is to regard it as an Arab problem, but this is a problem for Arab society and people to do the wrong things. "Because they hate us, we do not have freedoms," Eltha Hoy wrote, and she used "them" several times to make a complete prosecution of culture from Morocco to the Arabian Peninsula. "Yes: They hate us, I have to say," but is it really that simple? If such a misogyny were born that way in Arabia, why is there such a big difference between Arab societies? Why Egypt only chooses 2% of women to participate in Congress after the revolution, while Tunisia 's "they" choose 27%, less than half but 17% in the US . Why are there many Arabs who hate women in non-Arab societies in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia? After all, almost every society in history is fighting sexism and there is still possibility of existence.
