Cartoons women virginity

Description:A general has admitted that women detained during protests in the square a month after Mubarak's overthrow had been subjected to 'virginity tests'. What revolution worth its salt can be fuelled by demands of freedom and dignity and not have gender nestled in its beating heart — especially in a country replete with misogyny, religious fundamentalism of both the Islamic and Christian kind and which for 60 years has chafed under a hybrid of military-police rule? If the "it wasn't about gender" mantra is stuck on repeat so that we don't scare the boys away, then let them remember the state screwed them too, literally — ask political prisoners, and remember the condoms and Viagra found when protesters stormed state security headquarters. Lest we forget, we replaced Hosni Mubarak with a supreme council of Mubaraks — aka the supreme council of armed forces SCAF — a general who recently spoke to CNN kindly reminded us how the patriarch sounds. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he admitted that female activists detained during a Tahrir Square demonstration a month after Mubarak's overthrow had indeed been subjected to "virginity tests" — as the women have insisted all along.
