Bare yourself

Bare yourself

Aliaa MagdyElmahdy is an Egyptian feminist who recently published a series of nude photos including some of herself on her blog. She did this as a political statement to protest her right as a woman to live with freedom without being controlled by chauvinistic ideals and restricted by societal norms.

Her blog is called A Rebel’s Diary and the nude photos were shocking to many people.

  1. No oppressor ever gives freedom to those he oppresses. Freedom must be taken by those who are oppressed. If women want freedom, they must take it; it will not be given up easily.

  2. I don’t think taking off her clothes is effective. She’ll get attention, that’s for sure, but really all she’s doing is pitting her ideology against the rest of people’s, which has nothing to do with women’s rights. And i dont think that walking down the street naked is a right that they wanna fight for (especially in Egypt). It’s like walking down NYC with a swastika on your forehead.
