Female Egyptian blogger posts nude photo on social media

I like her shoes plus she needs to wax more.

For all the Egyptian boys interested in female anatomy lessons, making nude photos of Aliaa Magda Elmahdy freely available on the web beats going to a public library and doing the research.

As for Egyptian females, its hardly a revelation because they too have the same standard equipment.

As for the social shock damage to Egyptian social mores, small minds exist to be blown.
Aliaa Magda Elmahdy may be one of the first, but there are likely to be far more in the future.

I am sure, Egypt will somehow get over it. And also, like all societies, including ours in the USA, other social mores will get increasingly challenged.

Oh, I'm sure they'll be over it when shes dead.

Egyptians douse her in acid for posing nude, AT douses her in acid for having pointy elbows. To each their own.

Poor girl, she's so dead. Doing this where repression and abuse of women is the norm and brothers murder their sisters for seeing someone they disapprove of is a stupid move.

I read the CNN piece, I'm really sad for her as she sounds like a great person.

Stupid or, as I said, courageous. Things tend not to change until people are willing to take risks to stand up against them. I think if she gets hurt or killed, it will not help radical Islam, particularly as she now has a public profile and everything goes viral on the internet these days.

Disagree on the shoes, nude photo with flats? Wouldn't fly in America that's for sure.

She also didn't put this photo to any peer review (now that I got to see the whole thing) before posting it, her pose is just so blah, doesn't accentuate any of her curves.

search for #nudephotorevolutionary on google and it's the first link.

Leave it to Craig to make excuses for most retrograde religion and philosophies on the planet. Most libs wouldn't survive a week in Arabia yet they have deference for it.

 

[Zebo]

Sadly, in that crazy intolerant muslim culture, she'll be dead, disfigured or jailed in short order. Individual freedom and islam can not coexist.

This. Right now in saudi they are banning too pretty of eyes. As if abaya, always having to have a male chaperone anytime you leave the house, and follow 4 steps behind man wasn't enough.

She's dead without asylum and even then they may get her in Europe.

I'm not liberal but I am pretty sure just about any liberal could have handled being a Qadaffi son, writing million dollar checks to Mariah Carey or whoever for personal appearances is not as hard as you'd think!

or both? I appreciate what she's doing, but lets face it from a personal perspective it's a pretty dumb move.

One note about this is the nationalistic aspect -

There was a time this could get you in jail in the US. At that time, I suspect some would say "we in the US don't allow this, we have values!"

Now, when we have the liberal laws and create much of the world's porn, the same people's response is, "we have more freedom, freedom is a value here!"

One other note - it's not that easy to appreciate other cultures at times.

They and we both have our share of myopia and hypocrisy and probably some poor choices culturally.

It it interesting though that 'freedom seems to be blossoming more' there nowadays.

Change is almost always met with some opposition; when we had freedom riders challenge de facto segregation, they were met with mobs who assaulted them.

It's okay, Craig, we get it. You don't actually like freedom.

 

[shortylickens]

She's alright. Obviously doesnt have much experience with self nude shots.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

 

[Jhhnn]

First off, Egypt isn't KSA, and there's a revolution happening in Egypt, obviously not in KSA. So we'll see what happens.

I wish her well.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Not bad...

 

[SKORPI0]

I'm at work. Is she hot?

It's Egypt. Everything is frigging hot

Just not in the right way

Winner.... :biggrin:

Craig wasn't making excuses for anybody, merely pointing out that we're not as different as some would claim, and that we certainly haven't been in a historical sense.

Hell, Fundie-whack Christian reconstructionists/ dominionists would stone her just as fast as their muslim counterparts if not restrained by more "liberal" factions in this country.

seems fair. looking at some of her other headshots I might offer up a 7

6/10. at least she keeps her muff trimmed.

nothing wrong with a well trimmed bush

There are a number of people who can't read who like to post lies about what I said.

Your view is part of what holds society back.

Courageous rebels are important to society advancing.

For example, Galileo paid a price for his views (which he renounced under the price).

Civil rights advocates, women's rights advocates, labor rights advocates, on and on.

Bullshit. Whenever you point to equivalence you're acting as a child, "but daddy he did it too" to excuse wrong behavior. Not to mention it's historically false. Look at Sistine chapel or nudest art throughout Europe in the time of so called equivalent repression. Doesn't wash. Nothing so free ever has existed in muslim Arabia/ME and never will as long as they are infected with Islam.

Finally who cares? I don't live hundreds of years ago, that's the past nothing we can do - but we can call on the docket bullshit that's happening today and diversion and equivalence has no place clouding the issues of what's wrong in the here and now where we can do something and effect change.

We are very different than those neanderthals and shouldn't be afraid to call em on it nor seek justice for their victims and establish our world view as opposed to theirs and hand winging helps no one.

Not a good revolution from our perspective. Egypt was more liberal in 1950 than today. Same goes for most of these countries. There is a fundamentalist redivivus happening in the ME unfortunately.

Stop posting idiocy misrepresenting what I said. The rest of your post deserves no response when you are dishonest.

I applaud for the girl's actions, though it's probably not very good for her health in short order.

How can a religion that promote polygamy but at the same time persecutes mere pornography. That's some serious cognitive dissonance there. Surely some level-headed Egyptians must have realised.
