Fembloggin'

Sandmonkey reports on the release of Egyptian blogger Alaa following some 'outprocessing' by the police there. Pray for serenity prior to reading.

If you scroll down past a rather jarring movie promo pic just below that story, he holds forth on skin tone issues in Egypt. Here, young women fry themselves to look tanned; there they apply concoctions to make skin lighter. Fascinating social phenom.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Darwin at Darwin Catholic philosophizes about the Duke Lacrosse Team Scandal, promiscuity among college students, and the basis for traditional sexual morality. Good reading from a feminine perspective.
