I had a conversation with one my sisters today and she mentioned that she follows my blog and in the same talk she asked me why I didn’t write about women. I never gave it much thought which I told her since my inspiration (?) such as it is revolves more around the political events. I read several newspapers and I get more correct political information from the Wall Street Journal. Since I do not relegate women to any position other than equals, I should look into situations that women not In The News are experiencing. The only hope I have is to begin to look at specific areas that have been covered in the media and the most recent occurrence is the Oscar-winning documentary “Saving Face” that covered the disfigurement of women in Afghanistan. I have included a synopsis of that film below. It is unfortunately true that there are many males who maintain a general negative idea as to the abilities of women in driving, decision making and any other serious activities beyond child-bearing, housekeeping and being what the accepted work place activities yet without women where would we all be? You can read about the Documentary on line on the server of your choice and there is a short clip. Thanks to my sister for making me think about a undercovered area of my writing madness.
Film Synopsis
A British-Pakistani plastic surgeon works to help women who have been injured in acid attacks, while his patients struggle to come to terms with the aftermath of their disfigurement.
This disfigurement was at the hands of male relatives, husbands and other men who had an issue with the women for an assortment of reasons including divorce.
