When I first read about the murder of Dua Khalil (for there is no "honour" in the killing of a 17 year old girl for any reason), I didn't write about it because it's a known thing.
These gender based murders (and they are gender based, make no mistake) have nothing to do with "honour" and everything to do with control, or to be a little more brash Cuntrol.
In Israel, these murders have been reported more than once.
Then I read what Joss Wheodon had to say* about Dua Khalil and thought, how can people think that is something "special" when all it is a symptom of the same thing which is perpetrated throughout History:
Extreme measures of gender control.
*Basically agreeing with him other than the womb-envy thing... over simplification much, Joss?
In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.
וכמו כן, צריך לעצור את רצח העם בדרפור.

When I was 12 my mother decided it was time for me to wax my legs, so there I sat on the kitchen counter, my soft nearly invisible hairs being plucked out of my chubby legs all so I could be "beautiful".
I still wax my legs, a decade later, even though I hate doing it.
Just though I'd share since it's topical in a less extreme way.
Sometimes I feel like such a dum-dum.

Of course, if I may say, smooth legs do feel ~good~.
... that doesn't make me a bad person does it?
