The outrage about Mona Zaki’s character is bc for years (i.e. clean cinema) we haven’t seen actual female characters who curse and make sexual jokes or even cheat but are still lovable, it’s only ever a good obedient woman or a “slut” not actual multidimensional human women.

This delusional celebration is precisely how the Egyptian state is using their stance on Palestine to serve their own agenda. Bc who is this a win for when Gazans on the ground are saying that aid is not their central goal and that the aid provided is not even close to enough?

Alaa Hassanein is a woman who filed a harassment case in Egypt. Her case was dismissed because she is a writer who has the ability to “make up stories”. Add this to the list of reasons why women don’t receive justice in this country. #ادعم_الاء_حسانين

While a student intifada takes over universities across the world, students in Egypt, hours away from Gaza, are arrested and silenced for protesting a genocide. Free Ziad Basiony. Free Mazen Ahmed. Solidarity is not a crime.

Yes actually the “social buzz” triggered this. Because victims go through hell watching their harassers and abusers gain more power and fame. Because power and fame fuel harassers and make it harder for women to come forward. Bingo.

Random thought: when the recent news about Basant came out I took a while to remember her story. Was she the one thrown off her balcony or chased down the street or the one who went live to speak about getting raped and beaten? Too many stories, too many women. #حق_بسنت_فين

Mansoura University denies Egyptian med student Mazen Deraz the right to take his exams while in prison. They’re throwing away his future for protesting the genocide in Gaza. For attempting to speak up. This is the price of solidarity with Palestine in Sisi’s Egypt.
رفضت جامعة المنصورة، استلام شهادة من نيابة أمن الدولة تفيد بحبس الطالب مازن دراز على ذمة إحدى القضايا، للمطالبة بإجراء الامتحانات له داخل محبسه.
وعللت الجامعة رفضها الطلب بأن الطالب "يدرس في كلية الطب" وامتحاناته عملي.

If ur embarrassed about openly practicing ur religion in a country where the majority identifies with said religion maybe that’s a u problem. Unpack why u feel that way. Also if 2-3 friends make fun of ur religiosity that just means ur friends are annoying.

All jokes aside this is a perfect example of performative men blinded by privilege thinking they’re not part of the problem and refusing to acknowledge their bros’ behavior and the dynamics within their own circles. Don’t tell us how to deal with harassment call out your bros.

Egyptian women’s week:
1- Basant - #فتاة_ميت_غمر who was sexually assaulted by a group of 7 men on camera. All 7 were declared innocent yesterday.
2- Khaled Mahmoud, fairmont gang rapist, was released on bail March 15.
What are the authorities trying to tell Egyptian women?

This is the state’s feminist entity. This is their reaction when a woman is murdered in her own home because of “family values”. This is what happens when we give men the power to discipline us.

I genuinely am scared for any Egyptian woman going viral especially if she’s working class and especially if she’s “cringe” or the punchline of a joke. Haneen Hossam’s “my mine” joke fueled the campaign launched against her eventually landing her in jail.

I understand the urge to call them out. But I also want to point out how unfair it must be for us, women, to not only be violated on a daily basis by men in our lives. But also carry the weight and responsibility and pain of holding men we thought were safe accountable.

A message to the tante groups flooding social media. save your shock and ethical/ moral advice. we are not sluts. we are not part of the problem. educate your boys and fuck off. “yalahwi rahetlo el compound” yes that is not code for rape. slut shaming is part of rape culture. -
