The reading part of a noble and popular colleague in the blogosphere (http://salamelik.blogspot.com/2007/09/le-schiave-del-lato-b. html), it seems to us that shares the love of longish work yes, but arguments, it suggests reflections on Islam and its social implications which, oddly enough, we just treated.
I do not want my lines are a replacement part mentioned, which I invite you to read. Allow me to summarize the basic steps, however, because those are characteristic of a certain line of reasoning power. In two words: it takes its cue from the recent episode missitaliota jurors seeking to better assess the ass (word lecitissima, unnecessary use euphemisms) of candidates. From this it is an analogy: these poor girls, they're just taken for a ride, worse, taken as carriers of ass , evaluated according to it alone, are slaves of a mechanism that favors emulation and the only beauty demeans women. We then move on to the company of the veil: the women want to criticize because you would be treated like slaves - so proceeds controcritica - while it is in your society makes women slaves "of the B-side". That is precisely the ass.
I begin to lightly by playing down the first episode of the buttocks. Nothing new there where the sun beats, you know? appreciation of physical beauty is not "superficial" is something human, very human. One of the attributes of Aphrodite was thousands of years ago, and without that interest you samples of any kind, Callipigia , or (putting aside modesty Professorin from the gymnasium), "the ass". There are parts of the body that are coded as attractive, erotic. And I coded it could also be observed that vary from age to age, I mentioned Venus, but it is known that in other times they have made lavish praise of the crown, or ankles (although perhaps you were thinking of something else, but who can say it?). I remember seeing a picture of a winner of many years ago (maybe the Bose) that you could see the axillary hair, nowadays banned. I remember when the original was still praising the ass of a male (and there is a funny joke in this regard, I think, in When Harry Met Sally ). Your ass is probably still a bit 'taboo because it has more to do with the "bottom", with the "backside", with feces insomma, mentre il seno, essendo in alto e legato al “latte” è più nobile. In realtà, allora, se ce la si vuole prendere con la riduzione di una persona a una parte del corpo, basterebbe Miss Italia in sé che è un concorso di bellezza fisica, basterebbe l’apprezzamento del seno, che però non fa notizia perché è dato per scontato. O anche solo degli occhi: che però la tradizione nobilità in quanto specchio dell'anima, quindi più spirituali. Eppure son parte del corpo quanto il culo! Quindi il comportamento dei giurati è del tutto coerente con il contesto e per nulla nuovo. Lo prendo come un fenomeno umano tra i tanti e per giunta assai banale.
Ma veniamo al parallelo with the Islamic society. I do not experience a surface with some Islamic countries. I know in particular Egypt as I had the privilege to teach you Italian, enjoying contact with the local culture that is not what the tourists going to roast her buttocks in Sharm. I have more than discrete elements of literary Arabic and Egyptian dialect. I have read (in translation) the Koran while living in a country whose culture is steeped in it, with the advantage of direct feedback and to ask questions to my fellow teachers (Egypt). All this not to talk to me but to let you know that my opinion is not traced to what I read in the papers or worse on the books of Oriana Fallaci.
I will tell you, then, that even men out there appreciate the forms, perhaps even more than us because they went through a trend that has emerged as attractive anorexics. Where is, moreover, belly dancing? Norway perhaps? In the Arab tradition, there are clearly defined standards of beauty perpetuated today, and some men know no more of our young ladies that there are latitudes, perhaps with the excuse of a language course, to recycle a bit ', enjoying a renewed success thanks to the forms that we would be already judged beyond measure. I say all this, mind you, not because I think the bad thing, but to stress an analogy. In addition even the Western model itself imposes itself: the music videos of singers who warble overflowing their "habibi y", "my love" while performing generous necklines. Amr Diab, to see what the other side, is a popular singer who stands out as a great big man. This
to mitigate the difference. But the keen criticism is as follows. The famous "veil" that strace is not so much the object itself - apart from the fact that with this name then you end up with reference to the much wider piece of fabric rather than a simple hat (the infamous burqa or niqab ) versions denying the identity and give also a considerable number of practical problems. Well, I said, not the veil itself, but the complex society that expresses it. And in that society is very difficult to talk about free choice by women.
There is a choice, if anything, a very small minority of wealthy people, who now return to the veil, for a process of recovery is proud past, in turn, through a phase of abandonment due to westernization as freely choice, ie emulation - emulation which means choice before a range of possibilities. When the West was still seen as a positive model, because of its technological triumph, and, there was a feeling of inferiority, is looking for a way to take the best remaining faithful to their cultural origins. Egyptian development, use of Arabic, but abandoned galabyya (the robe that even today in southern Egypt is the most popular). All this I did not invent, but the author describes such a tender certainly not true the contemporary West, Galal Amin, in his well-known books on "What happened to the Egyptians?". The discourse of "free choice" is also, nowadays, for many Muslim immigrants, who have seen the alternative and have consciously chosen.
But the majority of women there, bare-headed or not - and I'm talking about a country known as a moderate! - Is still encased in a system of subordination with respect to which knows no alternative. A system, for example, arranged marriages, in which women are judged on the basis of economic and aesthetic canons - the latter not unlike those evoked about Salsomaggiore. And the man too.
And then I will not dwell on the terrible genital mutilation (of which even less of ourselves because we talk about the vagina is even made taboo buttocks!), Which concerns, amongst other things, the children of Christians ( without a shred of justification in any scripture ) shall be a painful task imposed on small, completely unnecessary from the medical point of view, often a harbinger of disease. And he talks about a girls, which for obvious reasons do not choose with some personal knowledge of the facts . I do not make analogies with the piercing you, please, that at best is a bit ugly or 'idiot. Here we talk about a mutilation harmful tax, which has its base on the female bias. It feels so women who return after reflection, the veil, but no recoveries that the stitching of the genitals. Neither the arranged marriage seems to have never given rise to great nostalgia, nor for males or for females.
I am sorry for the boy's ass because it reduces to that, yes. Or laugh at. But I can do it because I know that reducing contrasts, such as choosing less happy, compared with a range of alternatives that I think the most noble and less ephemeral in our open society to a young woman, studying, self-realization hill gifts of intellect in short, the value of what is in the skull and not on it or to its opposite extreme. Potential alternatives that I have not seen as widespread in Egypt and elsewhere. There are, for charity. But not so much. It expresses the mentality that - among other things-even the veil, the spread of those alternatives are not favoring it at all. And I apologize if the speech is a bit 'dry. also particularly significant, the ass that these girls are not reduced for allegedly discovered God's command is debatable, it is possible to convince the girls groped in question to choose something else - as demonstrated by the same polemical intervention . And do not run into anything, no social ostracism, no imam takes umbrage.
's easy, easy come and take an analogy, describing two behaviors (women on one side of the veil, the other carriers of ass) and then say that the mechanism is the same and that even those in the ass are far more slaves, emphasizing a metaphor. But it is very honest and faithful to complexity of the facts. Not hide behind a thin veil.
