The Best, the top and the must do: Screw Equality book review

Woohoo

Dear World, go to hell

go away

Someone told me today they would like to jump off a cliff.

When I asked why they told me: maybe someone will catch them in time.

It sounded like something I would have agreed to.

Long ago.

I had to respond:

“I gave up on that a long time ago…

if we jump blindly hoping for a savior, whether a soul mate, a best friend or just a kind hearted helper, we will end up a lifeless pile of meat beneath the cliff. The people may come then, just to judge us for being so stupid.”

So dear world, go to hell.

(Don’t make a judgment, read “he will come” maybe you could understand the equilibrium, equation the “secret recipe”.)

(if you do kindly inform me, coz i got no clue.

thank you.)

Be nice to the nerds

Everyone made fun, bullied and terrorized her.

She was  a sitting duck. She was not noticeable by any means.

She watched them, wondering, how it would feel like to be so loved, so free, so wanted.

She knew she will be happy, content and satisfied one day. But it was not today.

She silently craved to have a life. Any life.

But it was ok. She was ok. She would wait.

She would wait out the bad weather. As she cried sometimes herself to sleep. Her helpless silent dis-contempt to their judgement, lies and abuse.

She held on to one or two who treated her as a living being. One that really counts. One they would miss. One they would actually take a picture of. Why would they take a picture of her? She was not very “picture friendly”.

Those one or two, plus her dreams were her fuel. Even long after those one or two were long gone. Until now, they are her fuel, her benchmark. Those one or two and her dreams.

Thank you.

Be nice to the nerds please. They may turn out like me.

3ando.

Screw Equality

Noha Wagih Screw Equality

Close your eyes and imagine the following.

Hmmm…

It probably wouldn’t be easy to close your eyes and read the following would it?

So let me rephrase.

If you are kind enough to take out of your time to explore this reading material, I thought it would be nice to give you a small introduction, even if it is completely out of my nature to do so. I love surprises. Not as a recipient, rather, a provider.

I have constructed this reading material with no structure, as would be apparent to the naked eye. But it eventually builds up to quite some sense. It would be nice if eventually you would agree, and if you don’t, I believe it would be even nicer.

No, I am not a self sadistic person.

I love being admired for my work, or even gaining acknowledgment and awwhs of agreement for any product I provide.

But what I love more, is being the fuel that sparks interest, critical thinking and maybe even harsh critique.

Again, you may ask why?

Well, simply, I believe it is more unforgettable to cause revelations due to ping pongish conversations, than to state what is obviously correct.

What’s the deal with the pages?

I will be sarcastically sharing a point of view I believe in, I act upon, I live by.

It will be explored in a non structured, random, chaotic, non scientific primitive method.

I will be confused, confusing, Confucius, slightly condescending, not at all conclusive, just in the hope that my thoughts maybe contagious.

I will chit chat, share previous articles I have published in printed media, bitch about senseless intellectual wannabes, joke about past experiences, illustrate close friends stories (whom will stay nameless for obvious reputation reasons!), add some of my own insanely sane antidotes and maybe during all this manage to remember to make my point.

Together we will discuss the following:

· What it means to  be a female

· My early years of fighting for equality.

· What it means to be an Arab female with foreign upbringing

· What it means to be an optimistic youth, troubled woman, a female fighting for a reason to exist

· What it means to be human

Revelations regarding my conception of “feminism”, “equality”, “gender equality”, and just pure “stupidity” will be a main topic.

I will discuss my evolution from fighting the war of the sexes, gradually into the war of the self.

Self realization, self esteem, self awareness, self empowerment, self love and self loathing

I will not try to sound too smart doing so, to prevent from sounding too stupid

I will not bore you with philosophical theories anyone with internet access can find on the lamest slowest least efficient of search engines

I will not make everything sound so politically correct

Graphic language will be used, and R rated scenes will be illustrated

No editors or censorships will be allowed to delete, modify or “beautify” any of the content

I will try to prove I am a progressionist female in a passive world

I will prove I am not the only one

I will verify actions that have only received screams of disapproval

I will go on a trip called “crazy”…

I would like to take you with me.
