Ramadhan Mubarak!!
Excellent weekend article by Naomi Wolf to be found in The Sydney Morning Herald (obviously an Aussie paper).
If anybody wishes to buy me something for ‘Eid, and wishes to see their brother childishly giggling with happiness, then yes, I would like one of Naomi Wolf’s books.
Ok, well, don’t all rush at once. Here is [...]

August 22nd, 2008

This title must look funny on this website, as we all know that gender equality is a cry only monopolised by the capitalist states, who are the stalwart advocates for it.
