The antidote to Egypt’s sexual harassment epidemic

The cure for Egypt’s sexual harassment crisis is to liberate society from outdated and toxic gender ideals and to rethink notions of “honour”.

Egypt’s women of mass destruction

Does a gaff about rural women’s breasts belie the belief among Egypt’s new Islamist leadership that women are the source of all society’s ills?

Honour: Made in China

The ‘Chinese hymen’ may make pre-marital sex safer in a patriarchal society but a woman’s honour should not lie between her legs.

Why this event should rile conservatives so much is literally beyond belief. Faith is, after all, a private matter. Nobody has the right to appoint themselves gatekeepers to a religion. In a secular society, nobody has the right to force their beliefs and prejudices onto others.

As if #Ramadan isn't lonely enough for LGBTQ Muslims, a queer iftar in Antwerp where they could get together and break bread has been cancelled because the organisers could not guarantee a safe space after multiple threats. Solidarity with queer Muslims everywhere. #Ramadan2023

@ArianeSherine It doesn't get my goat. I actually quite like it. Warm goats cheese is very yummy with honey in a salad

Although the European Commission understands the problems created by greenwashing, the draft Green Claims Directive it unveiled today will not end these damaging practices. The EU must enact a ban on carbon neutrality claims. Read our press release: carbonmarketwatch.org/2023/03… pic.twitter.com/ZtQmixT8h5

Although it is still science fiction, upgrading our brains with computing technology could one day become a reality. If the tech were available, would you implant a chip in your brain or connect your brain with a worldwide human web or link your human intelligence with AI?

For 20 years, people in Iraq have been paying a hefty price for the US-led war in their country. Meanwhile, not one of the architects of that catastrophe have been brought to justice. In fact, George W Bush, Tony Blair and the others have had peaceful and lucrative retirements.

@GordonBrown How about your former boss, Tony Blair, whose illegal war you supported? He seems to be doing a good job hiding in plain sight for the crimes he inflicted on the people of Iraq.

@GeorgeMonbiot While Vladimir Putin certainly deserves to stand in the dock for his crimes in Ukraine, so long as the ICC never indicts or prosecutes western leaders suspected of war crimes, it will be an ultimately unjust and partial legal institution. twitter.com/DiabolicalIdea…
