Nawal El Saadawi, 86, a prominent Egyptian Muslim feminist, condemns MGM on the BBC’s “Today” programme

One key indicator that feminists’ claims that they’re seeking gender equality are absurd, is their silence on the topic of MGM. I cannot recall a single prominent feminist in modern times condemning it.

Our thanks to Andrew and Ed for this, (audio, 5:04) from this morning’s BBC Radio 4 Today programme. Nawal El Saadawi, 86, is described as the Arab world’s most prominent feminist, and her (brief) condemnation of MGM starts at 2:56. Predictably, the (female) interviewer ignores her mention of the issue.

If everyone who read this gave us just £3.00 – or even better, £3.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
