Seeing as I have somehow done two post in a row about impressive news women, let's have a trifecta!
So let's go out with someone who is darn impressive.
Buthayna Nasser. A Saudi newscaster. A female Saudi newcaster...but I said already that I would write about a woman...so I guess it ain't much of a reveal. Still she has a spirit, sense of self, and pride of person that truly shines in the worst of times, and in the midst of an extremely repressive society.
Feministing, has a video of her going head to with Cleric Nasser Al-Huneini...he's old fashioned...
It is inspiring to watch her stand up for herself and other women as he says it is wrong for her to show neck, hair, or wear makeup and be on TV like she is...tempting men with her...face.
(Some people have noted that memritv, who cut and translated the video, have a some"?" in their file. They are considered, by some, to be pro Israel. So it may be necessary to take the full vid with a grain of salt. Though, the arguments from Nasser are consistent with earlier ones, and Buthayna words look to match her voice and face.
It would be nice if anyone has access to the original Lebanon broadcast (LBC TV), or transcripts, just to be sure.)
