Another comparisson

Currently in Feminist Theory-lecture, which I've mentioned previously.

"It is said that Muslim Women are suppressed. Yet, no one asks them how they feel. It's a given that they are. However, some Norwegian Women have spoken freely and loudly that they are indeed not suppressed."

"They cannot represent themselves, they must be represented" (Marx, 1853)

I guess you're all see where I'm going here...

We need to step up our game.

We definitely need our own voice, and there's no excuse for not allowing us to speak.

What I also find interesting in relation to women in muslim cultures is that it is often said that arranged marriages result in happier marriages.
