“I feel liberated!”; a comment made by British women on a TV programme. You would assume that women feel liberated when they break the chains they are born into, or the day women gain their independence or even the day they can fight for their rights and actually accomplish them. Yet this was a comment made by a woman who at the end of the programme ‘How to look good naked’ on channel 4 was happy to have a naked photo shoot. Unhappy at first with their bodies as we are all at some point in our life, Gok Wan, the fashion stylist of the programme is able to transform these women in his inspirational fashion series that shows women how to look fantastic with their clothes on or off no matter what their body shape is and without the need for surgery.

Human Rights Watch defines honor crime to be a murder committed by male family members against female family members for a variety of reasons.
The reasons include refusing to enter into an arranged marriage, being the victim of asexual assault, seeking a divorce—even from an abusive husband—or (allegedly) committing adultery.

I feel very young or perhaps this is even a constructed assumption about myself though in the other perspective, I am a grown up, perhaps old. Neither is logical to me. In fact, none is logical to me. I like to undermine common sense, and the preset judgments I enforce on myself just because it’s embraced and “logical”.
Enforced judgments are not exclusively made by one’s self, there is a psychological affiliation to the social structure. There is also a dominant social consciousness which even a “liberal” rebel can’t escape.
