عن الصدور النسوية و”السوتيان” الذكورية

Mar 8th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Featured Articles, Feminist Column

باليوم العالمي للمرأة، من المنطقي نحكي عن الحق بالحماية من العنف الاسري، عن حق الام اللبنانية بالرعاية الكاملة لولادها، عن حق المرأة المش لبنانية بكامل الحقوق، عن الحماية من العنف الجنسي واللفظي بالشارع، والحقوق الدستورية ابتداءاً من الحق بالجنسية، والخ الخ الخ.

بس اليوم بدي استرعي انتباهكن لاحد الحقوق البديهية ويللي بديهياً منسية. بدي احكي اليوم عن ملكية متنازع عليها منذ فجر العصر الذكوري العريق، عن ملكية صدور النسوان. وقبل ما انطلق بالجهاد الكلامي، بحب الفت نظركن على انو تم اختيار الصدر كجزء من كل، الصدر هون كناية عن كامل الجسد النسائي المتنازع عليه.

Abuse? What Abuse?!

Mar 8th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Featured Articles

Have you ever had “the abuse conversation” with your mother? Has she ever said to you that if anybody touches your “intimate parts,” it is called abuse and it is not acceptable? Has she ever told you that if anybody calls you names and emotionally blackmails you because you do not want to do something [...]



إﺇختناق صامت

Mar 7th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Featured Articles

لحظة تأتيني، حاضنة كلّ ما في القلب من أحزان
محوّلة السيطرة على العقل شيئا مستحيلا
تصبح الأعصاب نارا تطلق كالرصاص
فيها تتحوّل جميع الآلام المنسيّة ﺇلى غضب ساطع
شيء صغير يتحوّل ﺇلى مشهد سينمائي عظيم
أحتمل وأصبر
أحبس الهمّ في سجني



The Moment of Truth: To Be Out or Not To Be Out?

Mar 7th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Personal Stories

Where do I begin? Shall I start from the time my neck used to turn  with every hot girl passing down the streets? Or the time I actually  started crushing on my boyfriend’s sister?
Well, I was 19 when it all began, or when I started noticing it.
Before it was only friendship to me. I [...]



Pride is a Distraction

Feb 28th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Featured Articles, Opinion Pieces

I’m such a bad dyke. Not only am I against gay marriage and gays joining the army, but as it turns out, I am against gay pride. Not only for the obvious reasons – the domineering divas and muscle boys fighting for limelight or scoping for ass, the alarming number of corporate sponsorships, the cheap [...]



This girl I love

Feb 28th, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Poetry, Ramblings, & Fiction

There is this girl, that I love,
Beautiful, cute, blows my mind away,
She is fun to hang out with,
very hard to hold on too,
she slips between my fingers,
Returns just like a dove.

Mon amie a peur des statistiques:
- Tu imagines ? de nos jours, il y a 1 homme pour 7 femmes au Liban !!
- Et alors ?!
- Kif « et alors » [...]

A little something about my closet…

Feb 21st, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Personal Stories

I want to tell you a little about my closet, my home, where I live.
It is a tiny tiny room, with enough space to fit just me.
Wherever I go, my closet comes with me, surrounding me.
I have never been anywhere without it, it is my constant companion.
With wooden walls so thick that nobody was able [...]



On m’a dit…

Feb 21st, 2010 | By Guest Contributor | Category: Poetry, Ramblings, & Fiction

On m’a dit que l’amour était serein
Qu’il donnait de l’espoir pour demain
On m’a dit qu’un de tes baisers
Me laisserait pour toujours bouleversée
On m’a dit qu’une simple caresse
