Re: The Price of Honesty (Re: Abdel Aati)

This lock was called the ‘’virginity belt’’. The motive for it is: men wants to make sure that no other man will have ####### with their woman. Of course this has changed by various groups and movements that struggled for and advocated women rights in controlling their own body. The virginity belt now can only be seen in Museums in Europe as a symbol of the black middle age era. The question here, why Sudanese men accept past sexual acts of women whose country struggled for ages to make men accept their past relations and not question it, did they change their mindsets or is it just a double-stand? I am not against the idea of marrying foreigners (be it a Sudanese man marrying a foreigner or a Sudanese woman marrying a foreigner) as I believe love and human relations do not know boundaries. But I am questioning the double-stand of men who agree to marry foreigners without changing their mentality.
It is sad that in Sudan we still want to keep this virginity belt in the form of circumcision and want to curb women sexuality. Circumcision has been widely discussed to raise awareness against this harmful practice. But one related point which was not mentioned or discussed is the link between circumcision and false virginity, as some women stitch after loosing their virginity to meet the hypocritical rule -required virginity for women.
Finally, you said a nice statement (every man is a male but not every male is a man), I have been following a nice post initiated by the smart woman Iman Ahmed on what defines manhood. Hopefully I will write a small contribution to this question and I hope you can find time to follow that discussion.
