It’s 1979 all over again in Egypt. The much hyped Popular Uprising which was promoted by Progressives and many Conservatives is turning out exactly how anyone with common sense could see. Female protesters in Egypt, are now subject to virginity tests! That’s right, this great move for Democracy is concerned about women’s sexual status.
Cairo (CNN) — A senior Egyptian general admits that “virginity checks” were performed on women arrested at a demonstration this spring, the first such admission after previous denials by military authorities.
The allegations arose in an Amnesty International report, published weeks after the March 9 protest. It claimed female demonstrators were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.
At that time, Maj. Amr Imam said 17 women had been arrested but denied allegations of torture or “virginity tests.”
But now a senior general who asked not to be identified said the virginity tests were conducted and defended the practice.
Islamic Democracy, don’t you just love it!
What else are we paying for?
Arab Spring™ baby!!
@ vagabond trader:
That Popular Uprising ™!
Funny how the left ignores crap like that in the M.E., but any sign of concern over teen sex here is a sign that Christians are going to start stoning anyone who has sex outside marriage.
Along the same lines:
Any lib ‘feminist’ who could read this and not speak up in outrage is one evil scrunt.
