There is not a revolution that succe Women are suffering because they are being excluded. The high military council excluded women from the committee to change the constitution.
Nawal El SaadawiThe trilogy composed of politics, religion and sex is the most sensitive of all issues in any society.
Nawal El SaadawiProstitution means sexual intercourse between a man and a woman aimed at satisfying the man's sexual and the woman's economic needs. It is obvious that sexual needs, even in a male dominated system, are not as urgent and important as economic needs which, if not satisfied, lead to disease and death. Yet society considers the woman's economic need as less vital than the man's sexual one.
Nawal El SaadawiHere the oppression of women is very subtle. If we take female circumcision, the excision of the clitoris, it is done physically in Egypt. But here it is done psychologically and by education. So even if women have the clitoris, the clitoris was banned; it was removed by Freudian theory and by the mainstream culture.
