Naked bodies as protest signs
Stripping naked is a common form of protest in parts of Africa, where the female body isn't seen as seductive so much as scary.

  • "African women" not all the same

    Um, maybe we could not talk about Africa like it's monolithic, and that the women in it all have the same customs, beliefs, and traditions? 'Cause, they don't.

    Mamiwata, I appreciated your contribution, which was about specific people and groups, not the whole damned continent. Jeez.
