    In reply to Women Protest "Government-Sponsored Dowry"
    I was in Nepal just about a year ago, and it was staggering how pervasive the societal expectations for women are. Interesting, too, because as globalization brings "modernity" into a very traditional country, young women are seeing the sexualized MTV images and seemed to me to be teetering between maintaining their traditional roles and trying to fit a new "urban" lifestyle that is taking root.
    Though I will keep my judgments of the MTV effect to myself, the upside of the changes that are taking place certainly comes in the form of Nepalese women advocating for their rights. There are some incredibly strong women over there who are fighting centuries old traditions in order to better themselves and others. Pretty amazing!!

    Widows are considered "impure" and "evil," while women who choose to lead single lives are looked upon suspiciously.
    The 10-year Maoist insurgency that cost the country more than 13,000 lives produced thousands of widows.
    And once again, women and their reputations have to pay the consequences for what a bunch of assholes with guns did. Tradition, what can't it do?

    [Lily] Thapa says marriage is not the solution to the problems of single women.

    Amen.

    Holy crap, how nerve-wracking would that be? Hell, I get nervous just walking past a couple of armed police officers - I'd probably have a full-on panic attack if I were faced with those guys.

    This woman seems so strong. You know that icky feeling you get when you walk past a group of ogling men? She probably feels that plus the weight of the bag. I wonder if they offered to help her carry it at all.

    While I recognise that this is a serious photograph on a serious subject, I am slightly ashamed to admit that my first thought on seeing it was that I'm glad that I'm not the woman in the photo. And not because her life is likely incredibly hard, possibly degrading, and undoubtedly without a lot of thanks for her hard work. No, it's because if I wore a sarong folded around my waist while carrying something heavy on my head it would quickly devolve into a HOSHIT MY SKIRT'S UNWINDING OH GOD WADDLE WADDLE WADDLE situation.

We haven't posted pictures of women from Iran, England, Nepal, Afghanistan, Mexico, Germany, Austria, Gabon, Thailand, India, Somalia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, New Zealand, France, Israel, and South Africa in the last 6 days alone. You're totally right! Only Palestine! SARCASM!
