First of all, i hated the medical profession. medical education in egypt was taken from the british, french, colonial educational system. and it's very, very lacking - there is no sexology. i never read the word clitoris in any medical book when i was educated.

Here the oppression of women is very subtle. if we take female circumcision, the excision of the clitoris, it is done physically in egypt. but here it is done psychologically and by education. so even if women have the clitoris, the clitoris was banned; it was removed by freudian theory and by the mainstream culture.

I had to educate myself about female circumcision, about the clitoris, about sexology. we studied gynecology only. pregnancy, maternal care, etc.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Women who come to see me admit that they've never looked at their sex organ; they've never seen their clitoris. now tell me if that isn't a form of being psychologically genitally mutilated? for them, the clitoris doesn't exist, but we're worried about women in africa!

I must say i find television very educational. the minute somebody turns it on, i go to the library and read a good book. another version i find television very educating. every time somebody turns on the set, i go into the other room and read a book. another version i find television very educational. every time someone turns it on, i go in the other room and read a book.
