Feminism, Saudi Style

[Gob]

This image show attendees at a conference in Saudi Arabia on the topic ‘women in society’ – and not a single one is female.



The conference, reportedly held at the University of Qassim last year, was attended by representatives from 15 nations, apparently all men. The seats in the hall are filled with men in traditional Arab dress apart from one wearing a blue chequered shirt.

However they are all wearing frocks and pink scarves...

Apparently somebody didn't open their dress code email...

Public stoning.

here's a way of protesting it!

Bare-breasted members of the feminist group Femen staged a topless protest inside a Swedish mosque after sneaking in wearing 'burkas'.



The women, who strip off to highlight a range of issues, including women's rights, press freedom and domestic violence were dragged from the Stockholm mosque on Saturday by police.

But once they were inside they took them off to bare their breasts, which were emblazoned with slogans such as 'No sharia in Egypt and the world' and 'My body is mine, not somebody’s honor'
