Mona Eltahawy Quotes

The God Of Virginity Is Popular In The Arab World. It Doesn't Matter If You're A Person Of Faith Or An Atheist, Muslim Or Christian - Everybody Worships The God Of Virginity. Everything Possible Is Done To Keep The Hymen - That Most Fragile Foundation Upon Which The God Of Virginity Sits - Intact. At The Altar Of The God Of Virginity, We Sacrifice Not Only Our Girls' Bodily Integrity And Right To Pleasure But Also Their Right To Justice In The Face Of Sexual Violation. Sometimes We Even Sacrifice Their Lives: In The Name Of "honor," Some Families Murder Their Daughters To Keep The God Of Virginity Appeased. When That Happens, It Leaves One Vulnerable To The Wonderful Temptation Of Imagining A World Where Girls And Women Are More Than Hymens.
