Thank God They Did not give him a blackboard !!

Qaddafi met with 700 Italian women in Rome today , I do not know what he had to tell them or why he even wanted to meet them but I feared that he would rewind his show when he had a meeting with Egyptian women in July 1973, seriously I feared it.

In July 1973 Qaddafi was visiting Egypt and he asked President Sadat to meet with Egyptian women. President Sadat accepted despite he feared of what would be said in the meeting , yet he accepted and do not ask me why. Sadat arranged a meeting between Egyptian ladies mainly from the NDP plus the prominent women icons in Egypt like Amina El-Said. Jihan Sadat was there and she still remembers it , Mrs. Qaddafi was there is a very rare appearance, I believe it was the last time for her to appear in public.
It is worth mention , in fact I must mention that Qaddafi requested a blackboard and a piece of chalk so he could demonstrate his ideas.
In the meeting Qaddafi had just written three words.
He had written :
1- Virginity :  disposable "He used other word which I prefer not to use again"

2-Menstrual Cycle : indisposable

3-Pregnancy: disposable

After writing these words ,there was a huge silence in the hall and it was the silence of the world before the storm !!!!!!!!! Sadat was already giving him his back but when he saw that reactions , he turned back and he was stunned , he had to be !!
Among the attendance were famous legendary Egyptian feminists and pioneer women like Amina El-Said, Mofida Abdel Rahman,Aisha Abdel Rahman and you can imagine the reaction of the ladies when he wrote that stuff and started to rant as usual about his views regarding the role of the woman. Thank God that the daughter of the Nile Doria Shafiek was dead then because the famous feminist and political figure who went on a hunger strike for women's rights in the early days of the revolution would not have tolerated that.
Ironically nobody from the attendance remembers what he had said , all the people remember  very well the reactions of the ladies attending his speech , it was like the hurricane based on what I read.
Jihan Sadat describes the situation like this

Women attendance  were shouting and screaming against Qaddafi led by famous feminist Amina El-Said, Qaddafi was firing back at them, Mrs. Qaddafi was on the verge of crying ,she was insulted , Anwar Sadat was laughing at the scene and I was so angry

 I know that for sure they did not gather around him like the Italian women , in fact I know if they did ,it was because they wanted to kill him.I do not doubt that if he had written that stuff in Italian ,those Italian women would have killed him !!

Sadat after that enlightening lecture decided to go to his rest house in Monfia and in the way from Cairo Gigi was too angry and he was just laughing , after all how he could know that this was going to happen. When they arrived they knew that Qaddafi was in his way to them. The man came and he was angry from the ladies' reactions , what he had done to deserve that !!?? He was so angry from Amina El-Said and kept insulting her and Sadat was laughing !!
IF you look to it , it was a comic scene for sure , a mad man dealing with hardcore feminists.
Because of this incident Qaddafi is no longer welcomed to address women in Egypt. Because of this incident I feared from what he was going to say to the Italian women
Thank God that he read only from his Green Book !!

 

 

Update

• In his meeting with the Italian Women ,Qaddafi has described the Arab women as pieces of furniture !!
• He spoke about liberating the Western women from the hard obligations they from work as they were forced to work after the WWII 
• Thanks to dear Ahmed Shokeir I knew what Qaddafi had said in his meeting with the Women's union in 1973, he compared the woman to a cow !! 
• So from a cow to piece of furniture  not a big change , he won't be Qaddafi if he does not enlighten us in this way !!
