Saving Face (2012), acid attacks on women in Pakistan

catsagainstfeminism

Meanwhile, in America, feminists are complaining about how dress codes are oppressive.

You idiots have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.

As a South Asian American feminist, let me remind everyone that oppression is not a competition.

Just because we fight one type of sexism doesn’t mean we don’t care about other instances of sexism that don’t affect us directly in our day to day lives.

My heart goes out to this woman and the hundreds of other victims like her. I want to educate people about these kinds of incidents. I support organizations that help women like this.

You may think that dress code issues are trivial, but they are related to a larger issue of women’s bodily autonomy, which affects women’s health and safety.

So please, let’s try to bring awareness and bring about change instead of insulting entire groups of people because they are facing issues that are less scary than the one presented.

The LUMS library has a pretty interesting collection of books.

Love is, as Aisha Sarwari’s great Simone de Beauvior quote reminds us, a source not of life but of mortal danger to women, because only men can really love. Only men can have honor, and suffer the shame of its loss. And therefore eight hundred and sixty nine women over the last year have been objects of honor, shame, love, passion, anger but never once capable of these emotions themselves.

Songs are Not A Surgeon' Knife - Faiz Ahmed Faiz - translated by Mahbub ul Haq

If I was convinced

My comrade,my friend:

I were really convinced

That a few words of solace

Could revive once again

The withered spring of your deserted mind,

And cleanse the humiliating stains

On your tortured brow,

And give your your wasted youth

A new lease of life...

If I was really convinced

That this was so:

I would sit here forever

And sing for you

Till eternity.
