Ladies, don’t wear pants. Don’t stick up for a woman who wears pants. Keep silent, and know your place. An update on this story. “40 held for backing trousers woman,” from the UKPA, September 7 (thanks to James):
Sudanese police have detained 40 women protesting outside a courthouse in support of a female journalist on trial for wearing trousers in public.
Lubna Hussein’s trial was set to resume and she could receive 40 lashes and a fine if found guilty of violating Sudan’s indecency law which follows a strict interpretation of Islam….
She has described the law as un-Islamic and oppressive to women….
Un-Islamic?
