Remember when Naomi Wolf wrote that inane article on how sexy and liberating it was to wear a burqa? And then Phyllis Chesler called her out on it?
Well, Wolf's version of "sexy and liberating" is apparently NOT toleratedin Somalia where women are being whipped for wearing bras that enhance the firmness of their breasts.
From the FOX report:
A Somalian Islamic group reportedly has started whipping women in public for wearing bras that violate Islam, the Daily Mail reports.
Residents claim insurgent group Al Shabaab sent gunmen into the streets to round up women who appeared to have a firm bust. The women are inspected to see if their suspected firmness is natural or from a bra. Officials reportedly make the women shake their breasts after removing their bras.
"Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts," a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.
The new bra rule adds to the long list of religious restrictions in Somalia...
Followed the FOX link back to The Daily Mail. There it is reported that as of late...
"You just find yourself being whipped by a masked man as soon as leave your house."
H/T to PUMA PAC for calling my attention to the FOX report.
