Amina Wadud on Feminism in Islam
In an ongoing series for Women’s History Month, Odyssey Networks speaks with Muslim scholar and feminist Amina Wadud on the role of women in Islam. Wadud sparked controversy in the mid-1990s and in 2005 when she led Friday prayers, breaking with the Muslim tradition of male-only prayer leaders.

Souvenirs + the real thing
Reality of the Situation
| Woman: | Can I have birth control? |
|---|---|
| Government: | No. |
| Woman: | I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion? |
| Government: | No. |
| Woman: | I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it? |
| Government: | No. |
| Woman: | Well, why can't I have birth control? |
| Government: | Because. Sex isn't for recreation. |
| Woman: | It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways. |
| Government: | Too bad. |
| Man: | For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control? |
| Government: | Do you have a penis? |
| Man: | YES, YES I DO!! |
| Government: | WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!! |
| Government: | But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want. |
| Woman: | But- |
| Government: | Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy. |
An interesting campaign. Aside from any valid criticisms, these guys know how to make a powerful video that appeals to a lot of people.
