Muslim feminist 'waited til 29 to have sex and is making up for lost time'

A leading voice for feminism in the Muslim world reacted angrily on Wednesday after a Pakistani newspaper refused to publish her article about suppression of female sexuality in the Islamic world.

According to the British newspaper The Independent, Mona Eltahawy, an award-winning author, wrote an article entitled “Sex talk for Muslim women.”

The article ran in a number of leading publications, including The New York Times, but was deemed too racy for the Express Tribune, a newspaper based in Karachi.

A former journalist who has reported from Israel, the US-based Eltahawy has been an outspoken advocate of women’s rights in the Arab world. She has most famously denounced the practice of female genital mutilation in Islamic countries.




Honestly, why is this woman not celebrated more than Malala?
