Klein & Chesler Dissect Veiled Sexuality
Hours before Lubna Ahmed Hussein goes back to court in Khartoum, Sudan, to be judged for wearing pants, Naomi Klein and Phyllis Chesler go head to head on Islam sensuality.
Covering Madonna’s tour in Israel, I just learned that it’s against Jewish law for men to hear a woman singing.
A Swedish woman weighed in on the subject of the ‘need’ to control women’s bodies with thoughts that motivate me to continue wading through the torrential waters of orthodoxy and women. Arild wrote:
Hi, Anne!
A good piece on your part!
Nothing is as sexually boring than a nudist beach. We know this.
Clothing brings attention to that which it conceals.
The sensuality, as you met, can be regarded as sexuality-on-overdrive, precisely because sex has been FORCIBLY mystified.
Furthermore, concealment does NOT mean that the MALES will behave respectfully towards the women; rather, they will grab any opportunity they get (or perceive), to have a glimpse, or make an allusion to the concealed, forbidden body.
I am sure you noticed some appalling behaviour among Arab males.
Forcible clothing degrades women into sensual creatures and stunts males’ development into balanced adults (due to sex-deprivation)
Thus, whatever Naomi talked about, can be regarded as one of the SYMPTOMS of the disease, rather than the healthy core somewhat marred by a variety of abuses. Arild
